Open Chords: Rhythm and Embellishments

Description

Here's an open chord progression in the Key of G that is a great way to make your open chords rock. You'll find these chords used quite a bit in the music of AC/DC and Lynard Skynard and many, many more artists.

We're going to try a trickier rhythm with 16th notes. Practice counting aloud when you play to master the concept. This will allow you not only to play this example well, but will also let you figure out other players parts with more ease and create more interesting parts when you write your own riffs.
