Eric starts the course out in open position and takes some commonly used chord voicings and tweaks them a bit to make them feel a little bit more unique. As the course goes along he'll unpack moveable chord shapes which is a powerful tool for unlocking the fretboard! He will also touch on how to use a capo, open strings within rhythm guitar, sparse voicings, right-hand picking technique, fingerstyle technique, and at the end of the course he'll show you how he would arrange some guitar parts over four different backing tracks!
Eric Ruscinski introduces us to his course "Crafting Parts For Modern Guitar - Rhythm".
