Gabriel Leopardi presents a rhythm lesson in the style of Poison, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Buckcherry and many other hard/glam rock bands. This lesson is suited for beginner/intermediate players.

When we refer to open chords, we usually thinks to the basic positions played by beginners on the first three frets, to start learning guitars. They are a mixture of fretted notes and open notes, that's way open chords. The same concept can be applied to any chords creatively, building beautiful sounding new shapes.

In response to a gmc user request - Gabriel wrote a solo over his previous "Open Chords Rock Lesson". It includes licks in the style of Angus Young and Richie Kotzen.

Sound great with simple but fresh open chords!
