Rock Rhythm
The following triplet rhythm is commonly used in rock songs. Apply it to the two string rock chords, thus:
Rhythm Pattern
Now try a blues in B using this rhythm. (Use blues pattern No. 2). For the E and F# chords (root 5 bar chords) the two string form involves playing the fourth and fifth strings thus:
E(2 string form)
E(2 string form)
The F# major and F#6 chords use the same shapes at the 9th fret.
This new triplet rhythm should also be applied to the chord progression outlined in the last lesson (example 115)
Rhythm Pattern
* Although the 6th string is not played, for ease of changing from root 6 to root 5 rock chords, the first finger remains barring both the 5th and 6th strings.
