The best thing in life are....provided by Jack Ruch! And yes..........free here but we must support and share his phenomenal lessons and buy his equally great courses! This lesson fits right in with Jack's most recent TrueFire Tasty Blues Rhythm course (must have!!) and then learn dynamite soloing concepts on his Shades of Blues course!! I have zero irons in this Jack Ruch fire except for keeping his mind-blowing lessons coming!! This is the way to learn advanced guitar concepts..........in great detail from Jack's experience and calmly taught and demonstrated to us! Jim C.
@@fallingsky1984 I believe what he meant was that it’s rare to find teaching of this quality on UA-cam. Sure, there are plenty of people showing how to play tunes or some techniques, but Jack has the relaxed and confident delivery of a true pro, which is.
He moves just fast enough but doesn't skip important details like "how do I find the 4th or 6th" when comping over the chords. So helpful. I started playing guitar in 1984 and it took me years to gather the information he just shared in 20 minutes. We are fortunate.
One of the best lessons I have seen, love the fact it encourages us to make our own melodies and be creative also your laid back style of explaining the theory along with the close up view of the fretboard makes it a top lesson, will subscribe.
Rhythm guitar is overlooked but in my opinion the best way to develop and improve as a guitar player! Soloing helps with some technical skill but rhythm helps you improve on quick chord changes, following the chords to put in small licks, be more dynamical, and many more things. Great video!
A wealth of knowledge, given away for free to anyone lucky enough to have found this channel. Your generosity is much appreciated as is your sweet as a nut tasty playing. Thanks, cheers.
I am an amature self teaching guitar player and i came across your video by chance and got hooked to it. I can not afford to pay for any of your programs coz where i am financially able but thank you so much i will be helping my self to the crumbs i find on UA-cam and practice .
This lesson is fantastic. Thank you so much! I studied classical mainly as a kid, but I am learning jazz, rock, blues, and r and b now that I am through college and this really helped me improve. After a shoulder injury that I had, slim electrics work much better for me now. Thank you so much! (Also, your playing is fantastic)
This is one of the most important and valuable guitar lessons I have ever been fortunate enough to benefit from. I first got turned on to what a rich tapestry rhythm guitar playing could be when I studied and learned the beautiful guitar fills on Rainy Night in Georgia.
I wish I had this video when I was just starting it would have saved a lot of time and practice! Best rhythm guitar video I’ve ever seen. Keep up the great work!
I thought i only had time a few minutes tonight to listen, but was hooked on the opening lines and captivated for the entire 20+. Great lesson and playing. Inspiring! Thank you sir!
Great lesson as usual Jack. I love this style of rhythm playing. Hendrix Axis bold as love is a great album for this type of playing and the Stax stuff to of course. Your tone is amazing pleasure to listen to. Cheers
This is exactly what I have been looking for. Someone to demonstrate and explain some of these techniques. I've been playing for a long time, but I'm self taught, and there are things I want to learn, or already know, but can't explain. Awesome. I've always loved this style, Steve Cropper and Cornell Dupree. I just learned so much. Thanks Man!
This is exactly what I try to do in my band to keep out the way of the other guitarist who chugs away in typical fashion. Nicely put together Jack thanks.
Another great lesson. So nice to have intermediate lessons that assumes the player knows a decent amount of theory. And you're showing the stuff I've always wondered how to do but never spent the time learning by ear and analyzing the theory of. I frankly dont like listening to this kind of music enough to spend the time, but have always wanted to play it. I pretty much just listen to jazz rock and metal and blues. Your videos have helped me lately learning how to play in major keys, the missing link in my life. Thank you.
Your lessons are absolutely the greatest! It's all explained so clearly and easy to understand. Thank you so much for your work. And your voice works perfectly with these lessons.
Thank you bro!! I just learned how to move the minor pentatonic scale around the fretboard and I was wondering how to move forward from that and add fills and etc to my playing. Your channel is definitely appreciated!
Love this, really helpful demonstration! I've been listening to the new Paper Kites album recently which is just FULL of this kinda stuff, done very tastefully!
Strong Sam Cooke vibes in that progression! "Change Is Gonna Come" is the perfect song to practice these little fills. (Just a half step down) Thanks for the amazing lesson, as always! :) Greetings Carlo
I really love the excellent melodic and harmonic playing and the very good explanations, they are the key to good guitar playing. Thank you for that! It doesn't get any better! 🤩🖖
Watta great lesson man🙏god bless you bro,keep sharing more like this,it covers so many aspects but in a systematic format which is good for learning these ideas
Thanks Jack, I really enjoyed all of the different ways you can spice up rhythm playing. I've used most of these ways at active melody already but yours is a different style. I was introduced to you on Brett Papa's channel, good licks. Peace 🕊️.
This is soloing with chords which is a fundamental jazz technique. When I play rock rhythm I keep it simple solid and concise to allow the keys , sax , harmonica to have a solid constant timing and position in the scale for whatever duration . This allows the soloist to completely fill the remaining space instead competing with another group of notes from a rhythm section . The stuff your showing is very cool , but I wouldn’t use as a rhythm backing a rock solo

Thank you Jim! I sure do appreciate it
Totally agree. Jack's TrueFire course are simply brilliant and packed with so much valuable guitar playing wisdom!
Hear, hear!
Comprehensive and wonderfully useful, Jack-thanks, as always!
Are these specific concepts taught in the Truefire blues course or is this a stand-alone lesson?
Jack has a nicely calmed and relaxed way of teaching, very rare on youtube 👌👏
😅😂 by "rare" you mean like every other yt guitar teacher right 😅

No marriage ring. That is why he can be relaxed. He does not have a wife-o-low stressing him out.
Yes. His voice is so calm and soothing.

Thank you Mr Ruch! I am a 62 year old guitar player and thanks to you I learn something new every day! 😊🎸
Awesome! Thank you
This is awesome! Thanks for being very thorough and for using a not I IV V progression to demonstrate it. Triads are king.
What a totally enjoyable lesson. I can't believe how much my playing is improving by learning all your stuff. Cheers.

Where have you been all my life? How simply and elegantly taught. Truly on of the best lessons I've ever had. Thanks man....
Man o man but everything you’re showering us with is so smooth!

Easy Jack, those opening licks were more like hijacking the brain than captivating! 😀😀. Awesome playing! 👍
Thank you!
Dont say Hi Jack on an airplane
A great lesson...
Seriously this approach you have is supporting and defined.
Thank you for not playing ALL THE TIME what you are doing is perfect.

Awesome! Thanks Robert
That was an amazing lesson. Thank you so much Jack 🙏❤️
Thanks! Love the sound of these gospel and r&b music fills!
That was beautiful, thanks for sharing! I'm going to learn all this stuff in the coming days/weeks and then move onto one of your courses.
Thanks, your lessons are always easy to understand and full of concepts that can be developed over time

Thanks Greg!

Nice lesson, Jack. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, this is the exact style I wanted help with. Perfect! About 85% of my entire guitar goals are covered in this one video!! Thanks a lot for this.
I am so completely sold on Jack's playing. TASTY doesn't do it justice.
This material is so useful and taught in a very gentle way that helps you learn it.
Superb lesson Jack, I have not seen all these ideas explained in one straightforward video. Thank you! Months of inspiration and work for me now.
Thank you bro!! I just learned how to move the minor pentatonic scale around the fretboard and I was wondering how to move forward from that and add fills and etc to my playing. Your channel is definitely appreciated!
Love this, really helpful demonstration! I've been listening to the new Paper Kites album recently which is just FULL of this kinda stuff, done very tastefully!
Just like the old classic Motown stuff. Amazing. Stellar lesson yet again. Thankyou
Tnxs Jack, back beat ,snare and voicing....awesome supporting melodic accompanyment ...Nailed it...!
Strong Sam Cooke vibes in that progression! "Change Is Gonna Come" is the perfect song to practice these little fills. (Just a half step down)
Thanks for the amazing lesson, as always! :)
Greetings

Your lessons are the best. It sounds and feels so good I just wanna grab my guitar and practice. 😊😊

Beautiful playing a great lesson. Colonel Cropper, Cornell Dupree, and Teeny Hodges are all smiling right now. 👊🏾
Great Jack. Making fill licks look easy👍👏
Jim
Best guitar lesson I have seen in a very long time 😮
My old teacher who had a big ego never taught how to string these together- And combine them- I just had a light bulb moment because of Jack!!!!!
I totally dig it. It's going to take a little while but I think I can pull it off. Thank you
Beautifully played ,bundle of ,,,thnx for teaching such an easy way,,
@9:27 sounds like that Monk blues "Misterioso". The whole melody is in 6ths and it's a great way to practice them, while learning a cool blues head.
I give this 1 million likes and 1 billion views. this is such a good lesson. thank you.
Amazing lesson. Extremely practical! Thank you 🙏
Man this is top notch right here brother. Awesome video
Such a great lesson! I really appreciate you making this video!
It's been a long time coming for a lesson like this
Thank you very much for sharing, Jack.🤗
Beautiful. Just about to order your triad course. Looks like a goldmine.
🙏
This is beautiful usable stuff. Fantastic
Very nicely done.
Vital and imperative points.

Sweet!
This is awesome. Thanks, Jack
