As this is perhaps the 10th or 11th video I have found helpful I have unclasped my virtual wallet and become a Patreon. Adrian's contributions to mankind deserve much more than the small recompense I am able to kick in but I feel better having done what little I can.
Massive aha moments on this one. Not just a bunch of random licks, but makes it clear which chord/triad and which scale the fills are from. Also such clear use of 6ths and 3rds across I/ii/iii's. Brilliant! The cats have nothing on Adrian.
Adrian you just played what guitar is supposed to sound like and the reason I watch. I am older and just 5 yrs into learning I hope anyone can learn this, like me. awesome, thanks. 60+
WARNING: These tutorials are highly addictive. Don´t start. Seriously, keep up all the good work and give me all you´ve got. Great tutorial. I´ve been faffing about with doublestop riffs for years but haven´t put them together well. This tutorial really helps!!
Mr Adrian my respect for you Sir you are one of the best guitar instructors you make all of your videos so easy to learn once you explain in detail how to follow your leads.Thank You Sir
Thanks so much Adrian! You did the perfect amount of talking...filling in the blanks of theory and thought process which would otherwise be lost on a lot of us. You are much appreciated!
This is perfect. Thanks! I walked into a guitar shop today and played something simple that didn’t make me feel foolish, but it’s so easy to play in a shop and think everyone is judging your skills. basic chord progressions with proper rhythm goes a long way. You’re instruction has made me 100% more comfortable noodling in front of other people.
Thank you Sir being so patient in teaching us your style,I played Mexican music for years but now I play nothing but blues they are so addicted and what makes a difference is the way you explain,you are one of the GREATEST guitar players,one again thanks and keep making blues videos I'm proud to say that I have learned most of your lessons cause you make them so easy to learn.Congrats
Man, that telecaster sounds like the essence of electric guitar distilled down to the purest form. And your playing and instruction and ideas and generosity and *wit* are exemplary. Thanks again! PS - I do enjoy the odd funny cat video :-)
Excellent tutorial! Finally someone knows how to explained things in detail when so many other instructors assume you already know everything. For example showing where the lead lines/fills come from and what chord shapes and or scales are associated with them. Also what you're thinking as you're putting it all together. All important details that so many instructors leave out. You definitely got my attention and I'll definitely be checking out more of your lessons for sure! Thanks so much for this outstanding lesson where no stone was left unturned! :-)
This is fantastic. Really good for unaccompanied playing. All about seeing those shapes in the progression across your neck (and ideally within the context of the full scale).
This video is great! I've been playing the same old basic numbers for ages, banging out open chords and yelling over a few banjos, but this video inspired me to go out and get myself an electric and learn some new techniques. I really appreciate the pacing and detail in your videos. Keep 'em coming, thank you Adrian!
Thanks Adrian. This is exactly what I needed. I have all the pieces of the puzzle I just need some help to put it together. This is a great arrangement and will help me a lot. It's really appreciated. All the best to you. 👍👍🇨🇦🎶🎸
Great lesson. This is what I need step by step being about 10 month onto my guitar journey. My fingers are not that agile or fast. I'm trying it's slow process.
Great lessons Adrian. I've learned more from your videos than from the ones I paid for. If my ex-wife hadn't gotten all my money in the divorce I'd be a patreon. Thx for all your hard work. It is very much appreciated.
Adrian, this lesson was incredibly helpful to me, thank you so much! Can you also make a lesson dedicated to "seeing" the rest of the scale degrees within the CAGED shapes, like you discuss at 20:22?
This lesson just reveals lick after lick after lick. It's like the layers of an onion, some sweeter than others, but all resonant in their own fashion.
So I learned this one dead on, or nearly so, several months ago. Of course after I learned it, it became muscle memory, and I'd memorized the licks, not really thinking that much about the chords / theory behind them. I've found it useful to come back and rewatch, knowing the piece, and listening to the theory explanation again to help it penetrate my thick noggin. Love this one.
Beautiful, Adrian! As a follow-up song lesson, you should consider doing the often forgotten Hendrix song, “Remember,” which these beautiful rhythm ideas sound similar to.
Very nice video. It sounds like Yellow Ledbetter from Pearl Jam, inspired by Jimi Hendrix style. Thanks for this kind of videos teaching how to improve, mixing rythm and lead guitar in one, and speak so good that a non english languaje expert as me can understand all your videos with no problem. Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks for this lesson. There isn't a great deal of rhythm stuff on the web. Most people teach this lick or that but leave out whats going underneath with the rhythm, especially the tasty jazzy blues chords. I can find the key and progression but its beyond my skill level to suss out the tasty chord shapes. Any help that way would be helpful for loads of players. Thanks again Adrian.
I so love those quiet melancholic "Hendrix" phrases. "Little Wing" is full of them. Biggest "duh" moment for me was learning where the notes on the fretboard are instinctively. It all flows from there. Give me your tired key of C chord progression and yes sir I will play my tired licks all over that shit!
Nice ideas, although standard licks between chords. Hendrix was a master playing this style of connecting chords with little licks and chord inversions.
This is the first vid I've done with that title, though I've done many rhythm guitar-based videos. I might do a follow up this one though. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to search posts. You can filter them based on the tags used in the posts. I'll contact them and ask about a more comprehensive search function. Thanks for signing up by the way - much appreciated. Any problems finding Patreon content just email me directly and I'll try and sort it out.
Hey I really the tone and the sound of the Telecaster. Can you please tell what kind of Telecaster is that, an American, or a Mexican? There are many different variations of the Telecaster. Is that an American Standard? I know the guitar is really half your sound, also what amp are using. Sorry for the many questions. Thank you, mate....
@@pme77713 that is mostly true, but a skillful player can really coax the natural character out of any guitar, and Telecasters definitely have a character. Ask any professional player and they'll tell you. He's playing an American Vintage '52 Reissue, FYI. A 90s model I believe.
@@AngelMartinez-qs3cf You should ask Adrian what he's using, specifically for this video. I know he usually uses an early 80s Champ, Rivera era. But he likes to switch things up for certain demos. Honestly though, you should pay more attention to what he's actually playing. The gear contributes about 10% of your sound. If you can play these licks through a shitty $50 solid state amp, then you'll know they sound good through a more expensive tube amp. Focus on the technique, not the gear! Just go out and buy a cheap ass Fender and a cheap ass amp and practice, practice, practice!

tele neck is sooooo skinny.

Dear Damian; Enjoyed every bit of this pearl of a lesson.
& here I am still taking it very seriously 3 years later !
Thanks so much Adrian! You did the perfect amount of talking...filling in the blanks of theory and thought process which would otherwise be lost on a lot of us. You are much appreciated!

Adrian, Your style of teaching is getting awesome, keep it up. Even starting to appreciate your style of humor.
This tuturial is perfect. This is the kind of rythm tutorial I've been looking for. You filled in the blanks. Thanks a lot.🤝
Man, that telecaster sounds like the essence of electric guitar distilled down to the purest form. And your playing and instruction and ideas and generosity and *wit* are exemplary. Thanks again!
PS - I do enjoy the odd funny cat video :-)
Thanks Willi! Of course I've been known to laugh at the odd funny cat video myself from time to time!

Adrian your a fucking legend dude. This kind of content is much appreciated. Keep it up.

My new favorite place for guitar ideas. Didn't expect to laugh out loud, too!
Great demo, full of information .. love it !
not boring at all, this is just what i needed, thank you

What a pleasure you are to learn from… Thank you

One of the best teaching online.
Very nice-love the break down. You are a very good instructor. Fun to watch too!
This is the good stuff! Thank you Adrian.
Bloody brilliant!!! Thankyou Adrian. Ive learnt so much from this one lesson. Big fan, keep up the very excellent content.
beautiful playing. curtis mayfield/jimi hendrix vibes, thanks adz
Adrian you are a phenomenal guitar player ! Seriously
I was scratching my head earlier wondering how to branch into soul guitar , this is a perfect introduction!
Great lesson. This is what I need step by step being about 10 month onto my guitar journey. My fingers are not that agile or fast. I'm trying it's slow process.
Brilliant video lesson. Just what I need to try and break out from playing barre chords all the time. Thank you Adrian.
Another winner, Adrian. Many thanks for the always great content!
Definitely beats watching videos of cats being funny, doing their funny cats things. Nice playing.
Top lesson. Really enjoy playing this. Many thanks, Adrian.
Very much enjoying learning this lesson. Love your tasteful licks and pleasant progression. More like this, per piacere.
My vote for the greatest single guitar lesson on UA-cam
Agree. I learn it, forget it, come back, learn it, forget it...
Great sound thanks Sir for not hiding any notes,well done .
Now your talking Adrian - really cool soul guitar!!
Great lessons Adrian. I've learned more from your videos than from the ones I paid for. If my ex-wife hadn't gotten all my money in the divorce I'd be a patreon. Thx for all your hard work. It is very much appreciated.
Excellent..reminds me of Yellow Ledbetter.
Nice to doodle a bit. You can come up with some nice little riffs. Well done.
Adrian that was awesome mate. Great lesson
Excellent lesson. What I been looking for something to spice up my rytham playing.
Adrian I love your lessons
Great teaching, great stuff, great guy!
Cool stuff... love your approach to things
Adrian, this lesson was incredibly helpful to me, thank you so much! Can you also make a lesson dedicated to "seeing" the rest of the scale degrees within the CAGED shapes, like you discuss at 20:22?
Thanks, this was so good. Would love to see more of this rhythm style with fills and licks as I am all out of cat videos ;)
It immediately made me think of The Rolling Stones song I’ve Got the Blues from Sticky Fingers - one of my favorite tracks on the album.
Great lesson, thanks.
This lesson just reveals lick after lick after lick. It's like the layers of an onion, some sweeter than others, but all resonant in their own fashion.

One of your best, and that's saying a lot. Thanks!!
Tasty licks! Nice work.
Why was that intro the nicest thing I’ve probably listened to
Thank you. I really needed that today.
Love this. Nice one Adrian!

Nice chord highlights mate
Great playing and lesson.
Great video! Thanks, Adrian!
Brilliant video. Loved it.
"go and watch some....cats..." hahaha. Great lesson. Again.
yes, Adrian summarized the choices available on UA-cam very succinctly.
Gonna see the movie! ;)
Very nice! Great job my Friend.
Congratulations from Brazil.
Adrian you're the best, dude!
Adrian….. Great lesson. Loved it.
Excellent lesson covering so much! Thanks for sharing.
Just found this even though I'm subscribed
This is "kick-ass"
Heh Adrian..... why get angry..... u r simply a super player n instructor..... god should always bless u..... u r super n simple !!
Thanks Adrian! Great video as always. Do you have any more of those great country solos like you did before?🎸
So, so beautiful 💙
Another great lesson.. 😊👍🏻🎸
Jazz cats? I love soul rhythm guitar. Thanks for the lesson!
I so love those quiet melancholic "Hendrix" phrases. "Little Wing" is full of them. Biggest "duh" moment for me was learning where the notes on the fretboard are instinctively. It all flows from there. Give me your tired key of C chord progression and yes sir I will play my tired licks all over that shit!
Can you do a guitar lesson on ‘Felt Like A Gringo’ by ‘Minutemen’ ? Please!
love it real inspiration
Again! Amazing good!
This is a really cool lesson.....a Hendrix version would be great too!
Nice ideas, although standard licks between chords. Hendrix was a master playing this style of connecting chords with little licks and chord inversions.
Great lesson, just found this site. Is there tab for this lesson?
You created a C sharp 4 in the end of that end phrase going to G. That natural 7....
An Armani suit in a sea of Top Shop t-shirts. Class.
Superb.
That tune was more interesting than cats being funny, honestly Adrian.
great lesson that will help my playing immensely. Your cat commentary broke me up
Meeeowwww. Great lesson. Love the guitar :-)
Is there a prior Creative Rhythm Guitar vid? Also, just signed on to your Patreon page. Is there a way to search posts in Patreon? I don’t see it.

Another underrated way to improve music with rhythm guitar - "Learn to sing"
It's graham coxon!

He's playing an American Vintage '52 Reissue, FYI. A 90s model I believe.
@@indieguy81 Hey thank you very much! For responding!!

Hey, I forgot to ask, what amplifier is he using? Thank you again.
Some kind of Fender Deluxe Reverb
I hear alot of Stones and The Band in these riffs
That hammer/dbl stop stuff Hendrix stole from Curtis Mayfield.
I was stalled and frustrated till I watched this.
Were you in A Flock Of Seagulls ?
Wonder how many wizard guitarists actually clicked of to watch videos of cats. That was hilarious, btw.
Cats playing pianos even?
