Truefire Chris Buono’s Spotlight on Creative Chord Progressions TUTORIAL
Chords, Progressions and Creative Rhythm Approaches for Rock Guitar
It’s not unusual for rock guitarists to focus most of their attention and time in the shed developing their soloing and lead guitar techniques. But two things are true; we spend most of our time at the gig playing rhythm guitar, and nothing informs your soloing skills more than having solid rhythm chops.
Ready to work on your own rhythm chops? Plug in and buckle up for a powerful rhythm booster from Chris Buono In this Creative Chord Progressions edition of Spotlight.
”My earliest exposure to the sound of the rock guitar was listening to the rhythm approaches of rock legends like Jimmy Page, Steve Howe, Pete Townsend and Alex Lifeson. As I grew more serious with my studies, I realized that a diverse chord vocabulary and solid rhythm chops was the foundation for everything I wanted to learn and master.
In this course, we’ll work through six studies that highlight some of my favorite rhythm guitar approaches and chord arranging techniques – many of which are inspired by rock classics I lovingly play LOUDLY.
Each study begins with a deep dive into a new creative chord progression concept, which we’ll put it to work in a performance study over a jam track. I’ll breakdown each performance in detail emphasizing the key concepts, chord voicings and techniques to focus on.
Along the way, we’ll incorporate a ton of forward-thinking rhythmic enhancements that you’ll be able to put to use immediately in your own songs and arrangements. We’ll discuss extended harmony, voice leading, and developing fresh grooves that’ll challenge your chord changing chops and stoke your creativity.“
For each of the rock rhythm guitar approaches, Chris will explain and demonstrate the key principles and techniques for the approach. You’ll then apply those key learnings by playing a performance study over a jam track. A breakdown follows every performance where Chris will step you through the performance in detail.
You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the jam tracks are also included to wok with on your own.
