It’s really easy to find guitar exercises that are meant to build strength in your fretting hand, which is very important when it comes to playing solos. But you won’t find nearly as many rhythm guitar exercises out there, especially rhythm guitar lessons for beginners.

A sense of rhythm is arguably the most important skill a guitar player should develop first. (Yes, more important than learning scales and how to solo!) Having a strong sense of rhythm is part of the foundation that makes up great guitar players. So consider this guitar rhythm lesson an essential part in your development towards being a great guitar player!

In this guitar rhythm lesson I give you 3 introductory rhythm guitar exercises that cover the most common techniques found in rhythm guitar. Even though this is one of the rhythm guitar lessons for beginners, regardless of what level you are at, the rhythm guitar exercises will be helpful to you!

Like I mentioned before, just because these are rhythm guitar lessons for beginners doesn’t mean you shouldn’t test your ability with them even if you’re not a beginner. Sometimes we focus on everything EXCEPT rhythm guitar exercises and by the time we’ve made it to the intermediate level, we managed to miss that important part in our guitar skill development!

So don’t let the term “rhythm guitar lessons for beginners” fool you, there could be something you’ve missed in building that strong hand for rhythm guitar!
