Participants will be introduced to a variety of rhythm guitar styles and how to apply them through modes as well as through various cultural frameworks. The presenter will also discuss clinical applications to use in group and 1:1 experiences. Audio clinical examples will be played throughout. The session will conclude with a review, questions and answers, and demonstration of playing ability. Participants will receive a course packet with all examples listed over 50 pages of resources!
