Yes more rhythm lessons please. I’m all about that rhythm even more than lead🤘🏻
More coming soon!
Rhythm all day. I’m a blues guy but I can’t stand slow blues where a guitar solo is played for the entirety of the song and the rhythm instruments are turned way down. Chicago blues peaked in the 50s when the rhythms were rockin’
I learned from a man named Ron Thompson. Ron played for John Lee Hooker, he's on Chris Isaack albums and had a band with Mick Fleetwood. He was a player's player and he taught me the better your rhythm the better your leads, the better your singing and the better your stage presence. Everything improves when you play a solid rhythm because you have control over your phrasing. It really is amazing how much everything falls into place once you get a solid groove.
Back in 1971 when I first started playing it was driven into my head the importance of rhythm guitar. Only the most dedicated pay attention to that wisdom. And boy, it's so much fun! Nothing like locking into a groove and getting goosebumps! 😃😎🤓 Great episode.
For sure! Thanks for watching David!
Dude! This is exactly how I want to play. I’ m nearly 60 years old and I just started learning on New Year’s Day, so I have miles to go, but this right here is why I want to play the guitar. Lead is great, but it’s rhythm guitar that calls to me. You’ve just got yourself a new subscriber in the UK. ❤👍🏾
Never too late to Rock! Thanks for the sub!
How’s the learning going? I’m 45 and started 2 years ago.
@@rashadmoss3991 Hey dude. Not too bad. I’ve been working on the A shaped barre chord for the last six weeks or so. Feels like it’s taking ages, but it’s getting there.
Cool, How are you doing with chords and rhythm?
@@rashadmoss3991D-shaped major and minor are more or less in the fingers, now so I just need to keep practising them. The A-shaped major's going to take a long time, so I've literally just added the C-shape to make sure I don't get bored and burned out. Rhythm's actually not a problem. I think I spend more time practising strumming by itself than anything else. I go one string from lowest to highest, two strings the other way, then three strings back up again, starting with up strokes then adding the down strokes for full 16th notes. (I hope that makes sense.) I'm using Fender Play as a metronome because it has some awesome drum beats in it. If the beat is standard rock, then I'm changing chords on the beat. If there's even a hint of syncopation, I'll start strumming on the off beats. It's hilarious. The tempo's nothing to write home about - just 90bpm, but I'm having a great time.
Brett, one of the many things I love about you is that you do not take yourself too seriously, but you're seriously great. And you are lighthearted and fun. This is a super valuable lesson. If we play guitar for someone (1 person or 1000), it's not burning lead chops that will make them tap their foot or dance, but laying down a tight infectious rhythm groove (especially great tone, like you are getting here). Many guitarists do not realize this or how fun playing rhythm can be.
Thanks Alfred! Rhythm is a good time for sure!
Brett, your rhythm instruction greatly changed my guitar playing literally overnight. I watched this last night and now I am a much better guitar player today, thanks to you. I was bound by practicing the same songs/sounds over and over with no awareness of how to create music creatively and independently. But, overnight after watching this instruction you have given me the tools (I didn't even know I needed) to transform my guitar playing experience.
That is amazing! Congrats!
If you look up "Brett Papa" in a dictionary, you will find Amazing, Badass, and smart. (and goofy) This guy deserves way more subs.
Haha thanks!
That Nash Telly is my favorite of all of his guitars. Man that thing just sounds killer.
I love that thing!
I was just telling my instructor last week that I need to improve on my rhythm v learning licks or lead all the time. I'll be using this video for a while. Thanks!
Awesome!
I need you to know that the energy, encouragement, and practical reasoning in this video has exponentially changed the course of my learning process. I am a young singer/composer, who is hopelessly in love with becoming a guitarist to gain experience in live performances. But I've never thought of focusing on playing rhythm nor have I known HOW to learn. Your use of a single progression to teach so many different techniques was brilliant, because now I'm grooving AND learning. Thank you.
That’s amazing to hear! Thanks for the kind words!
This is why I like the digitech trio. It's a great tool for developing rhythm.
Absolutely! That thing is great
This is so perfect , and it is so true that the better the rhythm is , the better the lead guitar , or phrasing will be
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
More rhythm lessons. Please! specific to songs maybe? Definitely my biggest weakness- rhythm. Thank you Brett.
Yeah I plan on doing more of that soon.
Brett, you are always an encouragement to me! God bless you brother.
Great to hear Brian! Thanks for tuning in!
Just another outstanding lesson Brett! Thank you.
Sure thing Steve! Glad you liked it.
Great lesson Brett!! Good direction for future courses too.

Glad you liked the vid. Thanks for tuning in!
Thats such a nice tone man 😎
Thanks!
Pollendina Maxima..... playing with a nice drum loop is almost like meditation. Fantastic.
Agreed! So much fun that can actually get you a lot better!
I have always enjoyed playing this way live, it's like your driving an engine and you have the pedal on the accelerator.
Excellent instruction!!! Thank you. 🎼
Sure thing! Glad you liked it!
You are the man Brett! I had the year membership and have also purchased British blues masters and best of all the mixing major and minor pentatonics. You have definitely improved my lead guitar playing a lot! Very clear presentation and explanation and some sweet licks. I really enjoy and appreciate your content.
That is awesome to hear! Glad the courses helped! Thanks for the support!
Brett you are simply the best! Love your ideas, lessons, wisdom, tone, etc rock on brotha!
Thanks! Glad you liked the video!
Absolutely awesome! Really appreciate your wisdom and time!🙏🎸
Sure thing! Glad you liked it!
Incredibly helpful. Thank you very much.

Thanks Brett.. perfect for a -2°winter day.. warms the soul.. Awesome explanation and execution.. thanks so much ! 🎸👍
Glad you liked it!
Really solid course! I've been enjoying it!
That’s great! Glad to hear it! Thanks so much for the support!
Another amazing video! It always amazes me how it’s so easy to over look the basics. This video probably just increased my skill 80%!! I find myself spinning my wheels by playing the same things over and over. This lesson really opened my eyes to always remember the fundamentals and build from there. Thanks for another great lesson!
Awesome to hear! Glad it helped!
Dude I'm super glad I watched this video, you make everything seem so simple, such a wonderful teaching style. I've been working on a few things along these lines lately, was even trying to come up with a tune using a similar progression. Very cool tips in this one Brett. I'm honestly so impressed I'm seriously considering purchasing your course.
Thank you sir 🙏
Awesome! Glad you liked it. The course is a mega deep dive into all of this.
Hey, many thanks. Very effective. Very well explained.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Really helps, thanks man!
Sure thing!
I like to think of rhythm vs lead as the saying you hear in golf: drive for show, putt for dough. Musicians and bands will always want a solid rhythm player over a flashy lead player any day of the weak. Not to mention, improving rhythm will naturally improve lead lines and playing as well. Awesome lesson, thanks!
Thanks for checking it out!
Great teaching Mr. Papa! Without a deep feeling for rhythm you will never will be a great guitarist👌🙏👏
Thanks!
One of best lessons out there,👍
Glad you liked it!
Excellent information, very true, the song is where it's at. Nice job Brett.
Thanks for checking it out!
Great lesson! Best thing I ever did was start paying attention to the kick and snare drums on my looper pedal drum tracks, Just like you did here, muting the strings at first with every kind of rhythm and tempo. That has helped my rhythm and sence of timing immensely. Thanks again
Sure thing!
Great lesson. Gives me some ideas to work on with my students.
Awesome! Glad i could help!
So simple but SOOO cool. That's a groove I could play all day long. Great one.
Thanks Bob!
thanks, i needed this to kick off my electric rhythm playing. Amazing Just purchased the course. thanks my man!!!
Awesome! Thanks so much for the support! Hope you like it!
Thank you Mr. Brett🙏🏾🎸
Sure thing!
Dude..I can't believe you made this video. About month ago I realized I sucked at rhythm guitar. I've been practicing my solos for a few years and totally neglected my rhythm. It's a blast playing rythm!!
Yep it is super fun! One of the best things you can do to get better on guitar!
Man this is good stuff - and that intro! Some simple, but hot rock and roll rhythm. Love it! Man that was nice.
Glad ya liked it!
I have wanted to play guitar since i was a kid and heard Queen, then AC/DC for the first time. I waited 50 years to finally start fullfilling my dream (it's never to late), and now after 4 years, i can start the drummachine and loop some decent jams! Yes, it is the best thing ever, thanks to people like you, without which i would never be as good, being self tought! Cheers Brett, greetings from Switzerland, Josh🎸🤘🎸
That is awesome!
Buying an electric guitar in less than two weeks for my 60th birthday. Total beginner and I'm super excited to get going. Playing (and learning) over a drum track looks like fun and what your pitch for the Foundations course made a ton of sense. Rythym excites me way more than lead.
Awesome! Yeah playing to a drum track is the best!
I love this! Sometimes I forget to come back to these basics and just jam out a bit on good rhythm. That Tele is just dripping with rock rhythm tone
Yep its a good time to just lay it down! Thanks I love that Tele!
Very useful lesson 👍 great simplistic progressive explanation, I'll be making this happen 👍 cheers man 😎
Glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in!
just got the course . Really looking forward to diving in .
Awesome! Thanks Jon! Hope ya dig it!
But there’s nothing like being in the groove!!
Nope it’s the best!
I really loved this video. Thank you Brett. It inspired me to buy your rhythm course - paid already.
When I was a teenager learning guitar, I was only interested in lead guitar. I had a hiatus for decades and picked up a guitar 15
Years ago and from that point, I have had a fascination with rhythm guitar. Solid rhythm guitar that sits right in the pocket is just so satisfying.
I recently enjoyed the Robert Baker course on rock riffs, which was rhythm riffing inspired and not about lead guitar.
I typically practice by putting a drum loop on from EZDrummer and play with ideas (mostly rhythm)… I often record my sessions and listen to them later. Some I develop into songs. This why your suggestion in this video struck a chord with me. Thank you.
You have a great tone with your Nash tele and amps!
Thanks! Thanks for grabbing the rhythm course as well! Robert has great stuff as well. Awesome guy to boot. EZ Drummer is amazing! Practicing with loops is the way to go and it totally inspires song creation. Thanks for checking out the videos!
Hey Stash,been a while since i’ve seen any of your vids.
Only got as far as 1:31 and have decided to watch the rest later once my guitar is to hand.
I’ve been a bedroom rocker for about 20 years but focused mainly on lead parts apart from when learning ACDC tunes…for obvious reasons😁
Recently i’ve been going back to basics and trying to focus on more rhythm style playing which is already having a huge impact on my playing and especially “unlocking” more of the neck for both rhythm and lead playing 🤘🎸
Awesome! Rhythm is king! Makes everything better!
Awesome! Thanks man!
Sure thing! Thanks for tuning in!
5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 1 - Guitar is a precusion instrument, ya gotta smack in sometimes! 2 - The secret is the right hand... not the left!
Words of wisdom right there!
Choppin’ wood, baby! Choppin’ wood.
That intro was fantastic. Gave me rocking AC/DC vibes 🔥
Sweet! Thanks for tuning in!
Good Video. Great way to ride out the rut.... and get back on the wagon... Rock on !
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Man that's the sound I've been chasing!! I'd love to hear your setup!!
Thanks! I am plugged straight into a Divided by 13 RSA23. Got a bit of verb in post. From there it goes into a UA OX Box with a 412 cab simulation. Finally I go into an Apollo into the computer. Heart of the tone though is just a Nash Tele into the Divided by 13.
This is EXACTLY the type of music I want to learn. Looking for the course.
Awesome! Just go to brettpapa.com.
Great lesson and I LOVED the tone. Nice to see your Tele age through the years too.
Thanks! Love that Tele!
Very VOOL lesson! You took it apart well !
Thanks!
Very cool lesson Brett 👍
Glad ya liked it! Thanks for watching!
thanks for this insight, I'm an older guy just learning to play the guitar and lead guitar is my passion but I'm struggling, your method makes it seem possible for me, definitely a Sub.
Awesome to hear! Thanks for checking it out!
Been looking for something exactly like this. Thanks for posting this lesson. Greetings from Down Under.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Hey Brett, you rock! That's got me hooked, I'm going to have to buy it now 😆
Awesome! Thanks so much for the support!
Great advise as always. My beat buddy is by far the most used pedal I have.
Those are fantastic!
Great lesson ✌
Thanks!
Youve been kickn ass on those Nash guitars for a long time .Love it Brett .Ive gone way deep into my rhythm playing lately glad to see this one.
Thank ya!
Ive been playing my acoustic for a couple weeks straight...picked up my strat tonight and holy shite!! 😆
Haha! Makes a difference.
Thank you!
Sure thing!
great tutorial Brett
Thanks!
I absolutely agree with you there should be way more talk of rhythm guitar. That's the bread and butter of guitarists but it is virtually ignored when compared with playing lead.
For sure! Plus its fun!
on spot thnx without good rhythm and groove there ain,t no song
Sure thing!
Enjoyed the lesson and groove, but lets also hear some love for that tone!
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
Papa Brett - YEAH MAN 👍👍👍 , GREAT INSTRUCTION , YOU ROCK MAN 🎸🎸🎸🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂✌️✌️✌️
Thanks for checking it out!
Way cool Brett!
Thanks Tom!
right on Neon less is better .. i practice in my basement, the guitar is a lot of fun, it can be very frustrating at times, but rhythm bass it's the backbone ... what i realy like is you smacked your finger nail and it dident stop you from putting out a lesson,, i here all the time my fingers to big they hurt lmao...thank you
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great tone
Thanks!
Sounds amazing
Thanks!
All about the RHYTHM man!!
Yes sir!
That tele sounds freaking epic.
Thanks! Nash guitars and Lollar pickups are tough to beat.
@Brett Papa yep, I have a Nash strat hss... freaking rips. Tele is probably next. I have a M.I.M. tele at the moment with Lambertones. Sounds pretty good, but the neck sucks.
Mint great vid
Awesome!
Thanks!
very easy and 100% Rockn`Rollnice
Thanks!
Awesome video.
Thanks for checking it out!
Malcolm Young ACDC and Tom Petty are great examples of playing Tight! And Malcolm Young could play excellent lead too. A Looper doesn't lie. If you can't play Rythom in time, you will not be able to play lead in time! It's that Easy!?! Cheers from Australia
All true!
You have given me several 'Aha' moments in the past year or so Brett. You're very relatable & generous with your knowledge. Thanks mate.
Thanks Craig! Glad I could help!
BRETT PAPA, it would be nice if you made a video lesson about showing the 1st inversion, 2nd inversion, 3rd inversion for open chords and barre chords. Most guitarist only know the common open chords and barre chords but they don't know which inversion the chords are in and how to do the other chord inversions across the guitar neck. This will make you a better rhythm guitarist.
I have done that and also that is covered in the course!
Excellent~
Thanks Warren!
This guy always has the tone
Well thanks!
I mean another great video Papa , great rhythm playing is still the key to the Kingdom of songwriting , nice to see that red tele too
For sure! Thanks for tuning in!
