The Rhythm Approaches curriculum is comprised of select acoustic guitar lessons from the educators' existing TrueFire course libraries. Guitarists spend 90% of their time on the bandstand playing rhythm guitar behind vocals and other musician's solos, which is why it's the most important aspect of your playing. Having command of a wide range of chord voicings and rhythm approaches is what distinguishes great players from the mediocre, and it's also the number one reason that other musicians will want you in their band or invite you back to the jam.
