I Can't Stand The Rain Rhythm Guitar
Being a pretty forceful rhythm part, the most important part of playing this on one guitar is muting. As usual, it's a combination of left and right hand muting that will bring you most success. As the video demonstrates, the right hand dampening action is not memorized, it's a technique that happens naturally. Practice Spyders and rhythm exercises to get better. What you see in the video lesson might seem forceful, but every single pluck of the string is focused on to project as loud and clear as possible, not to just "whack it". Rhythm Guitar DetailsTo achieve a loud and clear sound out of your acoustic guitar you will have to adjust to the actual instrument, feel how hard you can hit a string without being unmusical. This will vary from guitar to guitar, how high the string action is, what thickness your pick has etc. Use the DIY TAB to work out some of the rhythmical patterns in the video, from that point, keep it improvised, Blues and Soul music shouldn't be memorized like a Green Day riff should, it should keep evolving. |
