Tips for Rhythm Guitarists?

[jepbueno]

^About pala sa sinabi kong "feel the other guitarist's music", medyo may mali, may mga parts akong naalala na magkaibang magkaiba ang ginagawa ng bawat isa at mahirap gawin kapag pinakinggan mo yung isang gitarista. I think ang ibig sabihin ko eh yung groove lang.

Try to be consistent as possible, I mean, try to emulate the sound from the recording of your choice as close as you possibly can.

Setting your effects  ''Compression'' to acceptable levels should do the trick and could help you a lot

`Suggest ko sa pag ReRhythm. gagaling ka if papraktisin mo sa Acoustic guitar ang mga song ng kamikazee at Greenday totoo yan! sila kasi ang mga almost no solo's and leads. Rhythm guitarist din kasi ako now. and still consistent parin sa role na yun, and ang practice ko ay sa acoustic muna, tama lang na dun ang 1st bago sa electric kasi sa acoustic dun mo talaga masasanay ang strumming mo if malinaw at pure talaga. and pag nag electric kana masmalinaw at pure na ang mga notes and strum mo dahil may power kana sa acoustic guitar . Sa electric kasi mas hayahay na ang strumming and lalo mo pang mafefeel ang kanta kailangan mo lang ng proper control .

`sa Jam or Gig need mo din makipag sync sa LAHAT, base on my experience kasi sa drummer may times na need mo sya sundan or sabayan sa mga palo nya. sa Lead guitarist naman may times na pag nag lelead sya be consistent lang sa pag reRhythm kasi sya na ang susunod at tatiming sayo pag hindi ka effective na Rhythm mawawala ang Lead kaya kailangan mong linawan. Then lastly sa Vocals may mga LYRICS sa kanta na dapat mong bagsakan ng magandang timing sa pagpapalit mo ng chords in every end or middle of one stanza kasi may mga chords yan diba so kailangan timing and accurate. ,siguro naman alam muna yun almost 1yr kana hehe. And keep practicing daily and if you find some good songs na sa tingin mo masarap tugtugin kahit mag isa kalang , go! get the chords/tabs and practice, anyway Goodluck sa Role and Career! \m/

I do mostly rock and metal but open naman ako sa iba't ibang styles ng ibang genre

Learn more chords. Mastering the rhythmic element is, perhaps, the most important part of being a great rhythm guitarist, but don’t give the harmonic element an overlook. As you mentioned you're into rock and metal, don't get me wrong but your chord vocabulary is likely to be somewhat limited. Expanding it can do wonders to enhance the sense of tension and release, in your music. A good way to build your harmonic vocabulary is to learn some of the common jazz chord progressions that the standards are based on. If barre chords are all you know, learning what 7ths and 9ths and augmented/diminished chords sound like will open up a whole new world.
