    What's funniest to me as a 30 year old, is that Tommy spends so much time talking about feeling the groove and how important it is to play well. I remember how when I was 17 I would have thought "Yeah yeah yeah blah blah, I can count 'til 4 and have great sense of rythmn, spare me the tips for total neophytes" and couldn't play anything in good time.
    Now at my age I know just how different it is to hear in your head time, and be actually able to feel it and play it. You might think you've got it because your brain is able to count and know when you should be playing, but actually being able to get your body to do what's in your head or ears takes a lot of practice, and now, I make keeping the groove going my number 1 priority in my playing.

      Yeah, I never practised with a metronome because I thought pretty much the same thing - I have a good in-built clock, and four isn't that hard to count to. I wish I could go back in time and rectify that. So many players (myself included) have an overconfident assessment of their own sense of time.

    Tommy, you are the John Entwistle, Les Claypool and Michael Jordan of rhythm guitar strumming. Your rhythm guitar playing alone could steel the show from the best shredding lead guitarists because the amount of chords you can knock out back to back! I LOVE IT!

  • @ewanmcfadyen

    "May I suggest" you buy ALL Tommy's records and listen to them often!!! That will improve your playing no end. There is a reason why he is a Certified Guitar Player.

    The diagrams of Guitar Boogie really helped give insight on how Tommy pulls off his bass + melody technique.
    I mean I've always been able to see how in theory he does it, but this time it made it very clear down to the frets being played.

      I get it. I first heard boom chick when I stumbled on a video of Tommy in Issoudun, France. It was 2018 when he finally woke up out of my musical rut. 10yrs with zero inspiration to pick up my guitar. Fingerstyle is a lifestyle and commitment most guitarists never achieve or even attempt.

    Thank you very much for this lesson Tommy! You covered rhythm playing for country and blues songs. What about the modern pop songs? As a young musician who is starting out, i find myself often in the situation where i need to play a "4 chords" pop songs. Any tips on how to approach that kind of genre? And how to make the arrangements interesting?
