Rhythm Section

Tip 1.

Volume down.

A good idea for playing rhythm section is to set you guitar volume down, why? because rhythm only for accompanist, so if you set your volume too high, the audience will be disturb by your volume, also the lead isn't sound, so it's really important to keep your volume down.

Tip 2.

Dynamic.

Develop your dynamic range by using a heavy gauge guitar pick for thick sound, using mid gauge guitar pick for middle sound, using low gauge guitar pick for thin sound. The dynamic range is created by holding the pick lightly for your soft tones, and gripping your pick firmly for the loud tones. A good exercise is to tremolo pick while counting as follows, you should reach your loudest dynamic at the number 9 Example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

softest=>loudest=>softest.

the difficult part is as you bring the dynamic back down to soft after you playing loud, this is why you need a control from your finger.

Tip 3.

Ground Beat.

Always make sure your foot is tapping, to counting the tempo, this will make you aware of the groove. you can do amazing things rhythmicallyif you tap your foot. This one of the more basic, yet often overlooked aspects of guitar playing. Bya developing and exploring your guitar skills, you can playing a more groove on your rhythm, feel the groove to, the important point to be a good rhythmist is, how deep you can feel the groove, as deep as you can, as good as you can play. So i explain this for you, keep exercise!

Good Luck!!!
