Rhythm Guitar Again

Brian Neal (xarxas) - 31 May 2004 21:50:54

Hi. I've asked questions like this before, but here goes again.
How on earth do you go about figuring out those rhythm guitar parts for
those Shadows/Atlantics style songs that feature super-fast strumming? Is it
just practice?
It doesn't help that the fidelity of those recordings are sometimes so-so,
plus the rhythm guitar often gets buried in the mix.
And once you figure out the chords, how do you go about learning to play
them up to speed? Are there some good general DVD's or videos on different
rhythm styles?
Do you guys use lighter gauge strings for these parts?
Any suggestions would be welcome, but I realize "practice" is probably the
answer.
Thanks,
BN
