Rodrigo y Gabriela on rhythm playing

In this video lesson acoustic maestro Gabriela Quintero shows you how she uses her trademark rhythms in the context of a chord progression.

You'd be well advised to make sure you are well acquainted with the patterns Gabriella covers in this lesson on right hand technique, especially if you are new to this kind of playing.

These progressions will take a fair amount of time to master, so make sure you break them down into small, manageable chunks as there are a lot of techniques to cover. You can learn the examples by following our free tab.
