Hello folks
Sorry to spam, but just wanted to let everyone know, that I produced a series of rhythm guitar lessons for Nousche Rosenberg and they're now available at DC Music School.
In this lesson series, Nousche shows all the rhythm patterns that he uses. We use two different camera angles and slow motion so you can carefully watch what he does. Swing rhythm, Gypsy Bossa, Gypsy Rhumba, Funk, Csardas, Bolero, etc.
In volume 2, Nousche plays through almost 50 songs to show you his favorite chord voicings.
In volume 3, Nousche rerecorded the rhythm parts to 20 legendary Rosenberg Trio recordings (original recordings not included) so you can see all the concepts explored in vol 1 and 2 appled in a real musical setting.
Very little processing is done to the guitar so you get to hear the instrument as it should really sound with all the extra noise.
PS: If anyone wants to ask Christiaan van Hemert what he thinks of all this, he'll tell you that I told him that I wouldn't pursue this project if it made him feel uncomfortable (even though, I didn't have to). But Christiaan is a super good friend of mine, and he was cool about it, as I am cool about him doing the Rosenberg Academy (I was the first to produce lessons for Stochelo). I only bring this up because I know that people have been asking him about me doing this.

There are so few dedicated rhythm guitar methods. Danny Gattob's 'Strictly Rhythm Guitar' stands out, as does our esteemed host's 'Gypsy Rhythm', someone also mentioned Barry Galbraith's comping book recently which is incredibly dense and would take years of study to really get (I am not there yet...). I would love to see more of this kind of thing and most importantly with real tunes and the real world choices of top players.
I think that if I could commision one book it might be notation only and Cha Limberg taking several routes through a dozen standards,..... pretty please ?
