Syncopated Melody and Rhythm Guitar

DONATE: http://www.andrewwasson.com/donations... http://www.andrewwasson.com/ Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers questions from off of his Guitar Blog website... Q). I was recently reading about how rhythm guitar and melody parts can get a smoother /hipper feel if they are syncopated. I really like Lee Ritenour and the smooth jazz sound. I was wondering if you could do a video where you demonstrate some simple syncopation ideas. Something pretty basic that might show up in a smooth jazz song's rhythm or melody. Thanks!

The study of syncopated melodies and rhythm guitar parts is not only an interesting guitar idea to work on, but it's an idea that really helps players get introduced to all kinds of new rhythmic meters. Plus, above all else, learning different feels like the kinds that we end up finding when syncopated (off-beat) rhythms are used, will help immensely with counting the beat while playing. And, since rhythm is such an important part of being a musician, we can never really get enough work applied to this subject!
