MicroLesson: 030 – R&B Style Rhythm (Easy)

Description

In this MicroLesson (ML030) you’ll learn how to play a classic 50’s style R&B rhythm on acoustic or electric guitar. I’ll show you how to connect everything back to basic chord shapes so that you can easily transpose this and play it in any key.

    Hope you get well soon. Simplicity at its finest. But then again you are aces when it comes to simplifying and expressing your instructions.
    A shot of brandy will help.
    Cheers
