wow, dude came in on a motorcycle pointing at the camera. Probably the sickest intro to a technique video i've ever seen O.o

Hi Paul. I don’t know if you still update this channel but you’re a true hero to me. You’ve played on so many classic records and you’re the reason I picked up a guitar many years ago. Thank you for all your hard work.

Hello. "Thank you" can't reflect the gratitude for sharing this piece of history for guitar players. Make a new one, with up to date quality, and all this years crafting your art, we'll all buy it. Rhythm is everything. God bless you Paul Jackson Jr.

This has to be the single best rhythm guitar video I've ever seen on KZfaq. I've watched MANY different tutorials from many prominent KZfaqrs and many obscure ones, and this one singlehandedly tops them all. It's straight to the point w/ no BS, and is practical while being fun at the same time. I thank you sir.

Simple technique being taught here can't be overlooked. Paul is simply THE BEST at all he does. Totally awesome.

this lesson is gold! I loved the skit in the beginning. Would actually watch a full episode as a snapshot of that era! cheers, Paul !

Fantastic beggining with the two cues of soloists and rythm guitarrists. I adore Paul's technic. A real SOLID support for the rest of the band. Not just random notes disconected.

I have loved and followed Paul Jackson Jr. As a guitarist for decades. He is capable of playing basically any genre and making it sound so simple.

I have a hard rock background and studied some jazz, and I'm really looking forward to this course. Thanks Paul, for uploading!

Oh my GOD ! I watched that other short clip on KZfaq so many times. Can't wait for the rest. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for this Paul, i'm a young guitar player who's hungry of you're knowledge

Excellent stuff right here! Thank you, Paul for sharing your years of experience.

I've always said how important it is to be a good, solid rhythm guitarist. Everyone wants to be the star of the show. "Lead Guitarist" Many players can not do rhythm for several reasons. -Thank you for posting this video.

Always love hearing you explain things. What a great musician / mentor!!

Thank you for posting this because it wasn't here before, never take that for granted

I'm so glad I found your page. This material is all that I'll be watching for the next few months. Thanks for your teaching and sharing.

Thank you Mr. Jackson for sharing this useful and important tutorial with all guitarists, I really appreciate it. Regards from New York City.

Thank you for sharing this with us Paul

Thanks for sharing this Paul!!! Cheers from Brazil

Mr. Jackson very nicely done. I've always preferred to play rhythm. Through the many years I've gotten a lot of compliments on my playing, especially when the lead player feels free to play only lead. When I was young I thought that people were mistaking me for the lead player. But now I know people really do appreciate a solid foundation with the bass drums and guitar. I love your guitar in this video. I have a 78 wine Standard Les Paul. And my wife just bought me a brand new American Telecaster Special! Can't put it down man! Lotsa love from one old guy to another.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom! Witnessed Paul's greatness firsthand at Jazz Alley in Seattle last week. Amazing show with Jazz Funk Soul! Sweetest rhythm playing and solo lines! What a groove!!

Thanks for posting The Science of Rhythm Guitar series. I was told to get and watch this video years ago when I was studying music. The private instructor I had, who was a studio player himself, recommended this video highly. For reasons too dumb to go into, I was unable to get my hands on it. I was reminded years later, and by then, guitar DVDs were fading and being replaced by KZfaq, TrueFire and such. So I figured I'd blown it and my chance to ever see this was passed. This came up as a suggested video by the KZfaq algorithms, and I immediately jumped on it. I've subscribed and saved these. Looking forward to working my way through these. Thank you very much PJJr!

Thank you so much Paul. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Greetings from England and may God bless your life.

This is gold! Thankyou for sharing!

Thank you so much, you make it fun to play rhythm and I love the vibe of the video

My god, I've been wanting to watch this for so long! Thank you so much!

Thank you for this goldmine of information!

I LOVE this.

Gracias por compartir Paul.

What a blessed video... Invaluable stuff from a master.

I am so glad to find this Paul, definitely subscribed. Your catalog of recorded rhythm work is legendary sir. Thank you so much for sharing this time capsule. It's never old information, it's ALWAY key to know how to hold down a rhythm part. Peace

Awesome exercises and tips, thank you Paul!!

Sometimes, just sometimes YT algorithm gets it right. Absolute gold! Wish there were Tabs or something to look at, for the rest of us beginners

Excellent instruction! I will be visiting your series of videos for more of this teaching!

I really really love this series of videos !! Thank you so mucho from Argentina Paul!!

The way you have control and space.. love it.

Probably why Paul Jackson is a GREAT as he is cause he UNDERSTANDS how to be a rhythm guitarist and he nails it perfectly. He has a sound that is AMAZING

ahahah George Duke at the beginning. What a legend

So glad you posted these. I still have my DVD! :-)

Paul, your contribution to the Collaboration album was spectacular

Thanks for sharing awesome.

Thank you for sharing this, Paul. As an instructor myself I’m always looking for different ways of looking at the guitar, hearing the guitar, playing the guitar etc.

Wow very cool ... thank you

If it weren't for some obvious visual qualities, I'd say that this is a 2021 course. The way the lessons are approached feels so fresh.

thank you for all this amazing lessons... you did drawing a new way for guitar playing ... thank you for all legend ! :)

thanks for uploading. I really appreciate for it.

This is great, thanks for upload

Really great lesson!

GHS Mohicans in THE HOUSE! Sat near you in Mr. Edwards’ music theory class. I never had a clue how good you were. You were just a humble and polite guy. I wish I could have taken lessons from you back then. A few years after graduation, I saw your name on the credits for just about every major record. Went to see your band at Hop Sing’s in Marina Del Rey and backstage, Rit and other jazz greats were hanging out. So happy for you my brother.

It's too interesting lesson learned some beneficial techniques..!! Thks

Very cool, excellent work, I really enjoyed this, thankyou

You riding that bike rolling in with a guitar made me smile hahaha, great! Thank you for uploading and sharing your knowledge! :)

Thanks a lot for the upload!

wonderful sir, thank you

Paul Jackson Jr in three words: Paul Jackson Junior

Ha!😂 I been looking for the rest of this for decades! I tried to order this from your website years ago. Thanks for the for the post. I been a big admirer of all of your work on classic albums. I could tell within seconds…🤔 That’s Paul Jackson Jr. I had a chance to meet you through Chris Payton at NAMM about 5 years ago I believe. Couldn’t make I was with a group bass players and drummers. 😂GOD SPEED.

3 AHA! moments watching Paul Jackson here. 🥁Long time Drummer learning guitar on my own until I get my drums back. Lotta good teachers on KZfaq but.. I wish I'd seen Paul Jacksons videos a long time ago. ( George Duke endorsement? I'm in.) Mr. Jacksons lesson is the key to me getting to the next level. Thank you🥇

If there was ever a lesson that I need . It’s this one from this dude .

A true treasure to music.

awesome!

Thanks Mr Jackson

Good practice session and great tips Paul. You remind me that I have to put some time in the woodshed too.

Thank you very much Sir!

Brilliant and imperative

Thank you so much!!!

well this is GOLD

I am happy that I found these lessons in KZfaq. These are basics for every artist on the guitar. Thank you very much , Paul Jackson Jr.

Thanks, Paul ❤🎸👍

“Can’t get no love!” 😂 Thank you for sharing these Paul Jackson, Jr.! Kind regards, Daniel

Great. Thanks

Thank you Paul!! I've been looking for this video for ages. I'd never expect I'd find it from your own channel. Amen!! You are an AWESOME player.

thank you for this💯💯💯💯

My favorite guitar 🎸 player

That's cool, I found this channel by chance and it's great, congratulations for the videos! Hugs from Brazil!

Thank you Mr Jackson. Very practical & useful information. Tried it and realized results quickly. Love your playing. Compared to me (yep I was wearing members only jackets, balloon pants and hi top fades ... had more hair then) ... your style seems more sophisticated kinda like your playing ... funky and always in good taste

Really appreciate for this tutorial especially on the aspect of muted guitar. Finally u showed me how to do it properly…..🙏🏾

Holy... G. Duke on intro, how good to learn groovy techniques😂

Thank you for the video

Awesome❤

I would love to see you play ‘Personal Touch’ live! It’s just an amazingly influencing tune for me. Use to listen to it during my time in Doha Qatar looking at the sea and the desert 🐪

Thank you so much for this! :)

Awesome! As a bass musician, technique is critical for all string instruments .

that was great. 👍🏼

Thanks for the upload dude!

Your guitar playing is very beautiful, your playing style is very engaging, it seems very easy, but not everyone else might be able to do it.

Never heard of the hand-buster exercise, should be very helpful for my left pinky which is the weakest of my fretting fingers. Also, for those looking for the right pick, I've discovered that mandolin picks (and to some extent the round edge of a teardrop pick) give me a much rounder sound on the acoustic guitar (I have a very bright & shiny attack) and allow me to tremolo-pick more easily on both electric and acoustic strings. Lord bless you real good too, Mr. Jackson.

you're a G for this !

Hey Paul, So Glad I Saw you on KZfaq. I Meet you years ago at a Clinic at Guitar Center. You were very nice and gave me Great advice. I Played with Rodney Frankin Back in the Day on his Albums. The Groove was the big hit at the time. I Push that Subscribe Button. Thanks for Sharing Your Gift:)

Paul IS the man.

0:14 love it!

Dear Paul I’d love to learn from you basics of rhythm guitar if you ever happen to be in CA truly a blessing

mil gracias Paul...! sos un referente para mi que estoy aprendiendo a componer mis primeros temas de hard rock y metal con una banda de amigos en argentina, buenos aires hicimos un cover de beat it y me maraville con tus geniales riffs acompañando a van halem ;)

Great--some of it reminded me of Lennon's work on rhythm guitar. Thanks!

oula whan i was young i listen to him every time and everywhere ! a giant !

I've never heard of that man before? and he has a Les Paul hallow body with P90 pickups!? excellent rhythm! that's why you have that guitar. Bravo!

His guitar solo on Don Moen's God is the strength of my heart introduced me to him when I was about 8 years old. The solo was very tasteful.

Thanks! I feel as the first grade student.

The trick to playing guitar well is to buy your guitars tuned and buy a lot of them. Remember the strings go on the outside. Start with a yellow one then work your way up to blue and red and maybe a sunburst.

thx ! thx ! thx !

I dont play but this was just a very compelling individual with how serious he was but also warm.
