Always good to go back to basics. The more advanced you become, the more basics you forget.
Adrian, just wanted to say you are hands down the best CZcams guitar teacher I’ve come across. Thanks for all the great content
I agree. He's so good yet self-effacing. Couldn't agree with him more in this lesson.
I agree. Between Adrian and some others I’ve got this guitar playing locked up. Jules Guitar and Rustys Guitar are also great. Add in Simon Candy’s “Acoustic Guitar Lessons”too. Simon teaches all that bizarre stuff like borrowed chords secondary dominants and modes so that it’s fully understood. And I mean FULLY understood so you can apply it.
Straight up
I agree as well
Yes definitely the best teacher I've seen yet, very easy to understand and follow with guitar in hand
I've played 1000+ sets of 400+ songs. This indeed covers what I've done for a good 90% of the time.
Rhythm lessons are so rare for something so fundamental. Thanks for all the grooves!
Great eye opener for what we thought we took for granted, even at 72 I will be going over these exercises as though I was, wishfully, 17. Thanks Adrian.
Never stop bro!🙏🏽
It sort of kind of makes you feel 17 for a moment 👍
You inspire me!
I’m an older songwriter ( 81) In my secret life I dream of being Rhythm Guitar in a band.. Thanks Adrian and fellow commenters 🎼🎶🎸
Lots of us older players love Adrian, right?
This is really great, and it's nice to hear somebody of your calibre acknowledge the value of feel in a more 'simple' approach to playing
Joe Walsh says: “watch a guitarists right hand that’s where all the special stuff comes from, Not the left, anyone can do that”! Cheers
totally agree with you, Adrian - fills bring the thrills but groove pays the bills!
Adrian - thank you so much! The 6/8 strum was something missing from my repertoire, and now I'm in love with it. There's nothing better than finding something new that just re-inspires your playing.
i honestly don’t know what i’d be doing without this guy
Hi Adrian, I have to say that I really love your lessons. Your song choice is fabulous and emphasis on getting the rhythm, feel and character of guitar parts right is so in tune with my approach to playing. Thank you!
You know, a little lesson like this is one of the greatest things that someone can give everyone via CZcams ! Thank you ☺️
I'm with you Adrian!!love it 👍👍
One simple 20 min video leads to months of practice. Thank you sir!!
Excellent material. Thank you so much Adrian ❤
Your appreciation for details always shows up in the way you teach. Your videos are very enjoyable to watch and learn from. Ive always appreciated you teaching the bit more alternative genres as well.
Great lesson Adrian, very very helpful ,thank you .look forward to your next tutorial.
Not only is this wonderful strumming, I love the recording quality
When you started the video the rhythm reminded me of CCR "Who'll stop the rain." Really appreciate your videos and sharing!
Great teacher ever..thank you🌟from srilanka
Love the lesson Adrian! You come up with some of the most interesting things to teach!
This is great Adrian. I always like to go back to the basics from time to time so thanks for this.
Amazingly helpful. Great foundations!!
Spot on !! Play just the right note.....not all the notes as fast as possible......love your show!
I am very enthused about this lesson. Thanks Adrian. I also appreciate the intelligent comments by others.
Great fundamentals. Lovely to revisit this from time to time!
Love this Adrian! Crazy… Rhythm is what carries a Song, yet far too few actually spend the time to practice Rhythm! Thank you! Love your lesssons, they are so fundamentally sound, coupled with beautiful feel!
Thank you for all your help.
Brilliant lesson as always Adrian, thanks
Excellent instruction. Thank you.
Best guitar video I've seen! This is the foundation that too many players never acquire.
This video may be dismissed by a lot of viewers, but these techniques (and understanding when to use each one) are a sure way of being a guitarist people want to listen to and play with
Your video is going to help me a lot, because my band and I have decided to drop the electric guitars and go completely electro-acoustic, including the bass guitar, and that fits in well with our Smiths/Belle and Sebastian-style indie pop. Thank you Adrian !
Thank you Adrian, Love all that you do and I appreciate your sharing your skills.
That D28 sounds beautiful! ❤
Awesome teaching my friend. Many thanks
Thanks so much for all the great teaching! Love your channel!
Thank you, this and the finger picking patterns lessons are key. Played the 6/8 strum on us against the world, Coldplay. Life is good with this simple perfect stuff
Really excellent, Thank You. This adds a lot of color and justification to what I have been playing as a Rhythm player. Mostly we provide a wash on the canvas, background color for others to shine in their leads and rifs, But I love rhythm playing, it is relaxing and there is really a lot of room to improvise subtly which surprises and inspires some of my friends who play lead. Thanks
Great great teaching again. Thanks and great video quality make easy watching😊
Very helpful video sir. Thank you.
Loved that. Thanks.
Great, practical lesson!
Puts the rubber to the road. Thanks Adrian!
Good tips and well explained. Thank you
Excellent, thank you.
Thank you this is awesome. Extremely helpful to play clean and beautiful
You are such an accomplished player and an awesome teacher. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. You’ve made me a better player!
such a great video, thank you!
I Loved this video, very useful, and explaining clearly simple but effective strumming patters, with subtle variations, not just plain and boring strumming patterns.
Would love to see a lot more of this.
Thanks for your good work and passion
Been feeling unaccomplished in my rhythm skills recently. This is perfect. You always seem to post just the right video at just the right time. Thank you Adrian!!!
Cheers, hope you find the video helpful!
Excellent work as usual Adrian, you're an outstandingly good teacher - if you'd been around when I was a teenager, I'd be a hell of a lot better than I am now! But you have absolutely been an important part of my progress since I've known you. Thankyou.
Tip top stuff, as usual.
I've been looking to concentrate on this stuff more excellent lesson. Thankyou for posting 👍
Thanks for lessons
All about the music. Love your lessons and tune selection too.
That’s why this guy is one of the best! 💯
T wanna say I love your channel and decided to support you on patreon to keep this going. You saved me hundreds in lessons
i really love your videos always super informative
great useful video, thanks
I always learn something new from your videos Adrian. You're an awesome teacher and an inspiration. Thanks for all you do 👍👍👍 appreciate it so much
WoW cool! Congratulations man! 👍
Jumping in to say I completely agree, very good teacher
great lesson. thank you
Thankful I found this channel. A real guitarist (not a shred artist) on YT giving out quality tips that will meaningfully help me improve.. who would've thunk it.
Shocking but I have been playing for 50 years and I neglected to learn some of this. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips.😍
Good stuff! Thx
A most enjoyable video thank you lots to learn and practice.
Thank you for the great lesson, God bless you, love from India
Great teaching 👏
This is wonderful. This could be 30% of a songwriting course...Thanks so much.
Great content ! Love it !
Superb teaching technique- 👍
Good playing.
I haven't played in years and want to get back into it...I appreciate your video and t technique so much...playing 3 or 4 chords and making some fun music is what I was looking for help in...thank you
Excellent! Thank you. (Australia)
W😳W! You sound better than a lot of famous artist 💯
Good instructive video!
Excellent.
I absolutely feel the same way. We have similar tastes and it's great!👍
Excellent. Thanks.
brilliant video Adrian. I watch all of your videos but the majority are well above my level.
Im a big fan of your early beginner course videos and was always hopefull you was going to do an updated beginner come improver list of videos.
these are going to be a big help to me. Im a big fan of neil young and would love some lessons that were not to difficult.
Thank you so much
Good video. Thank you!
I am a never ending beginner & this is very helpful! I subscribed to your channel!!
Thanks for this (and I'm only about a minute into it). After years of exploring jazz, blues, trying to learn improvisation, etc., I'm going back to basics. I want to revisit fingerstyle playing (acoustic and electric), arpeggiating chords, the use of triads for rhythm playing, and things like that. And adding some solid strumming technique into the mix sounds like a great idea.
Great video
Loving a bit of Ride's Vapour Trail for groove No. 4 👍
Very Good!!
Thank you.
I agree 100%. I’m the exact same way. The Man of Mystery song has a great rhythm chord progression. Sounds great on acoustic. Fun to play.
Wow, perfect lesson.Exactly what I need. Thank you very much. You have a new subcriber
You're awesome! 🤘
This video helped me a lot with my strumming! Thank you! Subbed 🫵ROCK!!!
Adrian thanks as ever for your insightful teaching. Pretty much every lesson you have ever uploaded is a gem. I was an early adopter, I think I have seen most of them but keep coming back. Basic rhythm is underemphasized on CZcams and in general. I made the mistake of not prioritizing basic rhythm when I started out. Would have ultimately helped me progress more quickly. As it turned out...
Thanks!
All this is V valuable info. It would be great to see examples of songs that mix the strumming patterns from verse to chorus etc. for dynamic effect in the song.
Totally agree, it's about timing most of the time 👍
Love the Neil Young riff. I was singing along with you putting a Neil-like melody to it. You wrote out the chords perfectly. I could hear Neil on his black Les Paul with Crazy Horse kicking this one out.
Great lesson for us beginners that want to be great strummers thanks
You are the best my British friend (from Straya mate)
This makes me want to pick it up again....Band broke up during covid and havnt played since. Thanks !
