Rockabilly Rhythm Essentials
Rockabilly Rhythm Made Easy | Guitar Lesson
That blend of rock n roll, country and jazz known as rockabilly is one of the most fun guitar styles

to make it. A key component of this genre is the travis- picked rhythm guitar technique you can hear
in the playing of Scotty Moore and many others.

T I =

Part 2: a more complex bass part, and some fancier chord voicings
Now were going to introduce a bit more movement to the bass part. The part on the higher strings
stays exactly the same. Here's how the new pattern looks applied to an open A7 chord
