Rocks and Rolls

From: Corey Congilio’s Blues Rhythms, Vol. 2

We're starting to put much of the information we've learned into larger, more complex rhythms. From here onwards, we'll see how we can take all of the concepts we've learned and create not only cool rhythmic ideas, but melodic ones as well. Yes, we can have small melodies or even counter melodies in our rhythm playing! I hope these next examples illustrate this concept. Here, I’m taking you back to the beginning. I’m playing a rock 'n' roll rhythm with power chords, and also throwing in some of the early 7th chord inversions I explained. These examples are reminiscent of the ways I play blues rhythm guitar. Now we’re off and running!
