Metal Guitar Academy/Rhythm Guitar: Beginner Bootcamp

Rhythm Guitar: Beginner Bootcamp

Build the physical skills every Rhythm Guitarist needs.

Every great band has that one Guitarist—the backbone who holds everything together.

Think Malcolm Young (AC/DC), James Hetfield (Metallica), or Brad Whitford (Aerosmith). Rhythm Guitar: Beginner Bootcamp is built for players who want to become that guy: solid, reliable, and powerful.

This course is 100% focused on the physical techniques that define true Rhythm Guitar playing—clean chord changes, tight riffs, precise strumming, and powerful picking. No lead playing, no filler—just the core skills that make you the foundation of any band.

You’ll build strength, control, and confidence through targeted exercises and real-world routines—at your own pace, with all materials available from day one.

What You’ll Learn (Week by Week):

  • Week 1: Chord Changes
    Master finger independence, smooth transitions, thumb positioning, and full note clarity—no more buzz or dead strings.

  • Week 2: Arpeggio Picking
    Nail downstrokes, upstrokes, alternate picking, and efficient movement—plus, combine left and right hand accuracy for rock-solid rhythm.

  • Week 3: Strumming
    Develop Strum-Flo™ techniques, ghost strokes, muting, aggressive power chord strumming, and left/right hand coordination.

  • Week 4: Power Chord Riffing
    Eliminate noise and master palm muting, note definition, and efficient motion for true Metal rhythm.
