The Rhythm Trainer for guitarists is from my publication “Guitar Victoria – Studio Series Vol. 2″.
EXERCISE #4
The upper system gives the rhythm on open-strings. The lower system is intended for use after the upper system has been confidently mastered. Do not play the two staves as a duet.
As in Exercise #3: The below example contains eighth note rests, make sure to observe the rest accurately. In order to become comfortable with the dotted quarter notes, really feel the quarter pulse and react to the pulse when playing the eighths.
Be sure to let tied notes sustain for their full value. When in doubt: the only time silence occurs is during rests.
Exercise 4 melody with metronome
Make sure to practise the upper line with the metronome until you’re comfortable with the rhythm.
