  • Hey guys!

    In this lesson, we will play the rhythm section of a song that I wrote recently.

    This time it’s a groove in A minor. It's a nice exercise if you are willing to improve your timing and picking control.


    Remember to play it slow and to figure out the chord shape before practicing it at the normal speed.
