Lesson transcript:
Example 2: Strong Beats in the Bar
In this section, we're going to look at Example 2, focusing on the strong beats of the bar. Remember:
- The strong beat is always beat one.
Counting the Beats
As we've been doing, let's count:
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, four.
To help differentiate, we're going to play our G note now on beat one.
Playing the G Note
- The G note is located on the top E string (big E string), which corresponds to fret number three.
- Use your third finger for this.
We will play the same rhythms as in Example 1:
- All quarter notes
- All even
- All the same
Repeating the Phrase
We have the same example of the first bar repeated three more times, giving us a four-bar phrase.
Strong Beats Breakdown
In the first bar:
-
On beat one, which is our G, pluck slightly harder.
-
Follow this with three open E strings.
-
Pluck the open strings as normal, but a little softer than the G.
Listening for the Downbeat
As you practice, you'll notice:
"You can really feel that downbeat coming down on bar one, which is what the heavy rock sound is all about."
Practice Routine
Let's give that second example a go:
- As always, I'll play the first time, you play the second time.
- We'll alternate back and forth twice, with a four-beat count in between every take.
Take a few minutes to practice this slowly before we go over the backing track.
Remember: Focus on getting that strong downbeat a little harder, followed by the open E strings afterwards.
