About this course
Whether you’re a working pro, a weekend warrior, or just love jamming with your buds — you’re playing rhythm guitar 90% of the time. If you’re playing blues, rock, funk, country, or pop — you’re playing rhythm guitar over very simple chord progressions and vamps. Players with a limited rhythm guitar vocabulary will find that things can get pretty boring very quickly for themselves, for the other band members, and for the audience.
If your rhythm guitar chops can use a major tune-up, dig into Jay-P’s collection of 30 Cutting-Edge Rhythm & Blues Grooves to take your rhythm guitar playing from Black & White to 4K Color in just a few practice sessions.
”This collection of 30 rhythms and grooves will add variation and spice to grooves you probably already know. We're going to push them to the edge. Most of these 30 rhythm guitar grooves are blue and rock-based I-IV-V progressions. You’ll be focusing on blues grooves, funky rhythms, Southern country backings, some fingerstyle blues, rock grooves and even a bit of jazz to spice things up. All in all, this course will tune up your rhythm guitar work across a variety of styles.”
For each of the 30 grooves, Jay-P will demonstrate the rhythm guitar part over a backing track and then break it down for you emphasizing the key techniques and harmonic approaches needed to nail the part.
Jay-P will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the licks for your practice, reference and study purposes. Plus, Jay-P includes all of the rhythm tracks for you to work with on your own. In addition, you’ll be able to loop or slow down any of the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace.
Grab your guitar and let’s tune up our grooves with Jay-P!

Great Cutting-Edge Rhythm
Great lesson, pretty good rhythms. Jay-P does a great job of explaining all these rhythms that give you a wider repertoire on the guitar. The variations and techniques added implement a diversity and dynamics to each rhythm. The content he teaches is quality, easy to understand and will help you improve your rhythm guitar skills. If you want to learn more and improve your guitar playing, I highly recommend his lessons.
