Dante’s Guitar Series – Rhythm Guitar Basics

I consider it a privilege to welcome you to the rhythmic, fascinating and “stringy” world of guitars irrespective of your age musical background and taste your find the guitar is a very stimulation instrument that conforms to almost any musical style your familiar with be it African (Juju, highlife, makossa) or foreign (country, pop, soul, R and B, jazz, funk, hip hop, salsa).  To the average person who believes musicians are sent from heaven (or hell), and specially gifted by God (or the devil) to play instruments, it may come as a surprise that many musicians practically stumbled on the gift and learned to use the instrument as effectively as a baby learning to walk (in short clumsily) and I am one of them. But over time and consistent practice, they show off such skill and exterity that ordinary people are given the impression that there were born with such skill. But that is not the case for we are all born with a degree of flair and love for music and the ability to learn to play any instrument, including the guitar is as mechanical as learning to drive a car.  Now the book I have authored & published #DantesGuitarSeries1 which is the basis of these videos, will teach you the basics of chord progressions, rhythm and fingering techniques that will get you playing the guitar as an accompanying or backup instrument to your singing or another instrument playing the melody, for example, a saxophone. So there will be plenty of songs in this course.  Now I need you to relax and follow these videos and exercises that I’ve given you. I have been teaching the guitar since 2001. These exercises are the same ones that I used to teach ASA aside over 340 other clients all these years. These exercises are good for either Acoustic or Electric Guitar and if you practice them for 30-60mins daily, you will become a guitarist you have dreamed of and you will reveal the melody within.
