If you're new to guitar, you're probably ready to expand your rhythm skills beyond strumming simple open chords. First 50 Riffs & Patterns You Should Play on Rhythm Guitar will help you do just that, with dozens of commonly used rhythm guitar examples in blues, rock, jazz, and country styles. Each riff or pattern is shown in standard notation and tab, with helpful notes on technique, theory, and listening recommendations so you can hear how these ideas are used in real songs. You'll cover triads, seventh and ninth chords, chord inversions, boogie woogie and bass line patterns, power chord riffs, open-position blues riffs, jazz progressions, and more. Includes online access to audio demonstrations of every example in the book!
