In this section we’re going to take some of the strumming, picking and hybrid picking techniques that we’ve been learning in previous sections, and roll them together to create some more interesting rhythmic combinations.
Useful Resources:
In this section we’re going to have a look at half bar riffs, and work on slipping those into the second half of each bar of the progression. In the fourth bar of the progression, you get a chance to play whatever you want for the full bar, plus the last two beats of the 3rd bar, for a total of a six-beat riff. Go nuts! The Rubber Room sessions are found at the very end of the video.

In this section we’re going to apply some of the theory we’ve learned to chord progressions and look at a few examples of 12 bar progressions and how they can be modified.

In response to Paul’s question (below), here’s some tab for the strum pattern used at 33:25.
In this section we’re going to focus on adding a one-bar riff in at the end of a simple 4-bar chord progression. The “Rubber Rooms” have been included at the end of this video, as well as the drum tracks. The same drum tracks are also below, if that is easier to work with. Useful Resources:
In this section we’re going to look at how we can apply guitar theory to find scale patterns to use all over the fretboard. This section will set you up with a really solid understanding of the fretboard, a strong foundation that will take you beyond the point where this course stops. You can apply these scales to soloing and everything else you can imagine.

Previously we looked at flat picking, now we’re going to apply similar patterns to a new picking technique: hybrid picking. Hybrid picking uses both your pick as well as your other fingers, and it opens up new options that simply aren’t available if you only use a pick.

In this section we’re going to work look at a lot of different chord modifications. This theory becomes hugely helpful later on when you want to look for simple yet beautiful ways to spice up the chords you’re playing, or to add more dynamics.

In this section we’re going to work on your picking skills, specifically, flat picking (ie using a pick).
