music theory May 21, 2022

When it comes to playing guitar, it's not just about what you play, it's also about what you DON'T play. Using silence, or rests, is really important to making anything you play sound better. If all you have is a constant barrage of notes, adding in some silences will make things pop a lot more & will make things sound way more interesting. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson for you. In today's guitar lesson for beginners I'm going to share with you why you need to make sure to use rests when you're playing music & how that will make you a better guitar player so you can feel like a rockstar when you play for people.
