RHYTHM GUITAR: Double-Stops & Single Note Melody

In this rhythm guitar series video lesson I explain the use of two-note chords, (known as Double-Stops & also sometimes called Dyads), and I discuss how to combine them with single note melody lines to create interesting supplemental guitar parts.

This approach is great if you are a second or third guitarist in a band or if you are doing recording and want to loayer additional guitar parts on top of pre-existing tracks.

Handout materials, as well as, jam track MP3's (2 MP3's) are available from off of my website, just follow the link below:

Beginner Level: Rhythm Guitar Basics - Part 1

Part One of this video lesson covers the basics of quarter-note and eighth-note rhythms. The focus is simple strum patterns. Part two of this Rhythm Guitar Series (available off of the Creative Guitar Studio website), examines syncopation and anticipation in rhythmic feel. If these terms are unfamiliar to you; Syncopation is the accenting of weaker up-beats. And Anticipation, is the act of placing a chord just before where you would expect to hear it.

Kanye West x Bape Spring 2010

Alright we all know there's no one or nothing better than a collaboration between Kanye and Bape. The clothing are usually a must-see and a must-have. So once again Bape decided to work with Kanye West and its bigger, better and more international this time. The Spring 2010 Look Book was photographed by Keiichi Nitta. The mixture of Bape and URSUS and Bape with a mixture of Japanese and American aesthetics made it only appropriate for the line to work with Mr. West. The collection includes new styles of belts and as wells shirts, work trousers, tees, varsity jackets and more. Surely to be a strong divider amongst fans, the most immediately striking piece is the Baby Milo hoody, which is complete in a vibrant multi-colourway featuring a selection of characters seen throughout Milo’s history.









I know you see him Kanye'in
