Truefire Mike Welch's Deep Blues: Rhythm TUTORiAL

10 Monster Rhythm Techniques for Blues Guitar
In his first edition of Deep Blues, “Monster” Mike Welch shared 12 distinctive and highly expressive approaches for soloing over the blues. In this Rhythm Edition, Mike focuses on refining your rhythm chops with 10 creative and versatile approaches that you'll be able to call on in the studio or on the stage.

"We all love to solo, but most of the time we're locking in with the rhythm section to support the vocalist and other band members' solos. Ask any band leader, and they'll tell you that it's solid rhythm chops that gets you the gig and keeps you on stage at the local jam.

In this rhythm edition, we'll work on rhythm approaches for the most commonly encountered blues feels - everything from organ trio shuffles, flat-tire rhythms, boogies, twelve eight strolls, and soul grooves.

We'll play and practice together over great-sounding backing tracks. The tab is synced to the video with looping and slo-mo, so you can work with the lessons at your own pace.”

You will learn Organ Trio Shuffle Comping, Flat Tire Grooves, Double Stop Triplet Waves, Half Step Approaches for Jump Blues, Fingerpicked Boogie Woogie, Blues March Patterns, Soul Grooves, Fingerpicked Piano 12/8 Strolls, Retro Rock and Roll Approaches, and Twist-Surf-Teen Beats.

You'll have all of TrueFire's advanced learning tools at your finger tips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.

You can loop, slow down, or speed up any section of a lesson. Plus, all of the tab and notation is synced to the videos for the optimal learning experience. You'll also get tab and standard notation files to print out, Guitar Pro files, and all of the backing tracks to practice with.
