The fact of the matter is you could spend a ton of time learning all the open chords, all the barre chords, all the scales, arpeggios, theory, techniques and you name it but if you don\u2019t play them with good rhythm they will just sound bad. <br><br>That\u2019s why in this lesson today we\u2019ll be going over a great exercise that takes just a few minutes a day to drastically improve your sense of rhythm and timing. It also scales in difficulty so as you get better you can continue to challenge yourself. Not only will you sound better when you play, but you\u2019ll be able to relax and let go of the nagging voice in your head trying to keep track of just how many down strokes versus up strokes you\u2019re doing in your strumming pattern, or how long it will be before you change chords. <br><br>Truly if there\u2019s any one exercise you should make sure to hit in your daily practice, it\u2019s this one. So make sure you download the image files and be sure to enjoy the lesson! &#x1f447;<br><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image
