Hi I’m Jeff Scheetz, I’m the Director of Education here at TrueFire, and I’m also the founder of Smart Practice. In this Smart Practice TrueFire Guide for Rhythm Guitar, I’ll give you some great tips you can use to practice smarter and I’ll share some of my favorite resources here at TrueFire to improve... The first tip is you need to get clear on where you are with your rhythm playing. In my Smart Practice for Guitar system, I teach you how to do something called a "Skillbox Inventory." This shows you: What you know, What you are working on, and What you need to... So check that out. The first step is to write down everything you know related to rhythm guitar playing.

Write down any exercises you know - any chord progressions you like to play with specific timing - everything that you know and play where you focus specifically on rhythm when you play it. This is a great starting point for you to see what is working and what needs work! Once you have that where you can honestly look at it and assess - it helps you decide what you need to do next! Of course, the best advice I can give on improving your rhythm guitar playing is to make sure you are working with a metronome or jam tracks. Basically, you need to get good at syncing up to something outside of yourself. What do I mean by that?

As guitarists we spend a lot of time playing by ourselves, and in that case we are our own rhythm keepers. But the reality of playing with others is you are NOT going to be the one who sets the rhythm or tempo - that will be the drummer, or the metronome, or tracks, or... So it is super important to learn to “sync” to something outside yourself.
