Polyrhythm & Advanced Rhythm Training
This is a very important course in the TrueFire catalogue in my opinion. It goes over significant polyrhythms which significantly elevate the rhythmic pulse of a composition. My suggestion is to complement this polyrhythmic course with something on the acoustic steel string, especially in the style of Leo Kottke. His polyrhythmic songs are incredible with exquisite tone. It is very difficult to access his technique. TrueFire instruction would be monumental.
