Funky Blues Tip

Lovin’ the journey of life and the blues
I was really struggling getting the Funky Blues rhythm and counting down. I stood up to practice more and the reflection of my hand in the mirror caught my eye, so I started counting while watching my hand. After that the rhythm started really coming along. I’ve always known I’m a very visual learner so for any other visual people out there that may be a tip to help out when it comes to this rhythm.

It's all blues
I'll have to try this. I can play the second part of this lesson full speed by cheating, right hand strums at half speed. Strumming full speed and I still get kinda crazy. This is the one part of the rythmn portion I haven't mastered. I use the term mastered to mean up to my garage rock standards. Very loosely.

This lesson is tricky and a real good workout for the strumming hand. The counting and muting together make it difficult but when I get this down I'm sure it will pay off.
