introduction
Most guitarists want to become great improvisers. The image of the wailing guitar player, lost in the
moment, searching for the means te express him or herself is weil known - almost stereotypical. The
truth of the matter is that without great rhythmic backup the soloist has nothing to work with. To
a large extent, the success of a solo has a lot to do with how the rhythm section and the lead player interact.
Originally, the guitar (in non-c1assical circles) was strictly a rhythm instrument. The pulse provided
by the guitarist was the glue that held the rhythm section together. It was, and is, used to provide a
harmonie and rhythmic background for vocals as weil. With the advent of pickups and amplifiers,guitar
players were able te step out front and solo just like the other members of the band. This provided a
more balanced role for guitarists. Somehow, through the years, "rhythm playing" has taken a backseat
te soloing. As a result, many guitarists today are not hip to the benefits of becoming a great rhythm
player. This book is designed help remedy this.
This is a multipurpose book. There are several ways it can be helpful:
• First, it can be used as a reference source. You come home from the gig, embarrassed because
you didn 't know how to play an authemic Bossa Nova pattern, and look it up. Maybe
you had to play some Reggae or a Viennese Waltz. Perhaps you are a jazz player who has
limited rock rhythm chops, or a rocker who needs more funk ideas. Do you freelance, play
in a wide variety of styles? Inside you will find everything from Afro-Cuban rhythms to the
Bunny Hop!
• Second, if you are a songwriter, you should find plemy of material here to inspire new ideas
and help you break out of your old rhythmic habits.
• Third, working your way through each page is a great way to practice reading rhythmic notation.
If you are comfortable reading most of the rhythms here, you are probably ready to
handle anything you find in the professional world.
• Fourth, arrangers will find these ideas helpful for coming up with new ways te treat old,
worn-out material.
Becoming a knowledgeable rhythm guitarist will help you become a better improviser as weil. You will
become more musical in your approach and more in control of your ideas from a rhythmic perspective.
No book can say it ail or Iist every example of every style. This book surveys many styles, but be assured
that you could spend your life studying any one in depth. However you use this book, it is my
hope that you will create good music and find self-expression.
Thanks to my family,julie,josh, Shauna andTom,jennifer, Mom, Dad,jack and Yvonne Abels, Noah,
Maggie,jasper and ail of my teachers and friends for having supported my musical endeavors through
the years. Thanks to David Smolover and Nat Gunod for their friendship and for providing so many
opportunities te further my career - l've learned a lot.
