Time Of Your Life Rhythm Guitar Lesson

Rhythm guitar lesson for Time Of Your Life!

The rhythm guitar in Time Of Your Life is very simple and repetitive.

Notice how the upper part of the pattern stay the same.

This is a very good strategy should you want to create a meditative pattern like the one in 'Time Of Your Life'.

Notice how the first two G chords played are mistakes, hence the vocal comment.

Picking Patterns

The third pattern, which is what the song use, moves from string 4 to 2, rather than 4 to 3.

A hammer on is used for the left hand to add to the rhythmical pattern, compare to: 'Redemption Song' and 'Wish You Were Here'.

Instead of the traditional strumming pattern approach, 'Time Of Your Life' use a meditative picking pattern that keeps the top strings in the same constant movement.

This type of technique is very useful and might even be easier to keep in time than a strumming approach.

Should you struggle with the picking pattern, practice sweeping spyders to a metronome everyday.
