The Beginner Rhythm Guitar Practice Plan, Vol. 2: Strumming & Groove (JamPlay)

If you’ve built a foundation with open chords and basic transitions, The Beginner Rhythm Practice Plan Vol. 2 is your next step toward confident, dynamic rhythm guitar playing. In this follow-up to Volume 1, guitarist and educator Dave Isaacs helps you push past the beginner stage by introducing new chord shapes, progressions, and strumming techniques—all while continuing to emphasize proper form, efficient movement, and musical context.

This course dives deeper into the practical mechanics of rhythm guitar, guiding you through major and minor chord families, movable shapes, and chord progressions that are essential to real-world playing. Dave’s method focuses on small, intentional movements and smart hand positioning to help you make clean transitions with less effort and more control. You’ll develop greater finger independence, accuracy, and muscle memory while learning how to create smoother, more musical strumming patterns.

As in Volume 1, the emphasis is on playing smarter—not harder. Dave breaks down each concept with clarity and patience, ensuring that you understand not only how to play a progression but why it works. You'll come away with stronger fretboard awareness, improved rhythmic feel, and a much more versatile toolkit for accompanying yourself or others.

Whether you're aiming to jam with friends, play along with your favorite songs, or write your own music, this course will help you move beyond beginner basics and start playing with purpose and precision.
