SUPERSONIC GUITAR GROOVES, J. Sash. CD TABLATURE
Product Description:
The goal of this book is to promote rhythmically and harmonically challenging phrases and licks in order to give you an authentic inside view on seven selected styles. Live or in a recording session, playing rhythm is the guitarist's main duty. This makes it even harder to understand why most guitarists' rhythm work (frankly) sounds rather unrehearsed and colorless. Especially since working with drum machines and samplers has become a vital part of musical performance, a good sense of rhythm, and some cool licks may just be your "key to success."

You could improve your rhythmical abilities with some simple methods:
- Please stop practicing rhythm-playing without a metronome!
This unstable ''do-it-yourself-groove" will get you nowhere. Use your
time more effectively: you haven't got enough of it anyway (or does
your girlfriend (boyfriend) have 17 favorite hobbies?).
- Set your metronome (please do not use manual ones) so that it clicks
on beats 2 and 4. You are emphasizing beats 1 and 3 yourself. Place a
piece of cardboard under your foot and tap the clicks of the metronome.
If you can't detect the metronome's click anymore, that's a sign
that you're playing "in time". Isn't it simple to produce a feeling of success?
It is extremely important to be totally Jltight". But there are also situations
in which a more Jllaid back" feeling is more appropriate. It is my guess
that most of you play more ahead of the beat" than ''laid back"!
Your adrenaline takes care of this and mostly you can't help it. That's why
you should also practice playing ''laid back":
Tap your foot a little ''behind" the beat.
- Dynamics! Do yourselves a favor and watch your dynamics while playing.
Imagine talking monotonously, without constantly raising or lowering
your voice. Would this sound very passionate? Well that's how you
will sound if you do not make dynamics a part of your playing.
- Most of the time, a bass or keyboard player will accompany you. For
this reason, it's better to avoid ''root" voicings whose highest and
lowest notes get in your fellow musicians' way. They will do everything
for you if you avoid clashing with them on every other voicing (remember:
you might need some extra hands next time you're moving).
It doesn't matter what you're playing. It's HOW you play it!
- Not 150 notes per second will do the trick, but the ''attitude" and feel
behind the notes.
- Being 120% convinced of what you're playing makes the difference
(often referred to as ''tone").
