As you have now progressed onto week 3, this means you have mastered the intro for the rhythm guitar and are now ready to learn the verses, the chorus, how the chords fit into the structure and how to deploy different rhythm patterns.

Following the teaching segment, there will be a play through with one of our backing tracks, plus, when you have completed this, the opportunity, in your own time, to start to experiment with your own patterns as a variation of the basic strumming. You will find “playing out of the box” more and more rewarding as you progress and be able to look forward to learning the lead guitar played in the intro.

Quick Tips

Re-familiarise yourself with the structure and learn the basic pattern and Andy’s alternatives before becoming too ambitious when adding in your own embellishments.
