Try the following rhythm variations and make up your own. Apply these rhythms to any chord progression you like. All these suggested variations are in * time but the same principle can be applied to ^ time. Also note that in all these rhythms your right hand moves up and down in a continuous motion. These rhythm patterns can sound "off the beat".
This is called syncopation.
This dramatic looking guitar was first released by Gibson in 1958. Like the Les Paul, it contains two humbucking pickups and is great for playing Rock, Blues and Metal. It was used extensively by Bluesmen Albert King and Lonnie Mack, as well as Jimi Hendrix. A later version released by Jackson was used by Randy Rhoads when he was Ozzy Osbourne's lead guitarist. Today there are many different Flying V style guitars available.
