Welcome to the "Rock Boogie Rhythm" lesson. Here we look at a take on the quintessential rock-n-roll riff. We explore the left hand with introductory music theory and concepts and right hand techniques like dynamics and palm muting. Tone-wise I am using the bridge pickup on my tele to help the sound cut. I am using a simulated Fender amp with a Marshall Guv'Nor style pedal and a little spring reverb from the amp.
