In this lesson, we’ll tackle the rhythm guitar parts for the first two choruses on “Brain Stew.” These sections use the exact same chord progression as the intro and verses, but we’ll add in some percussive strumming. We’ll show you how to achieve this new sound using this technique.

You’ll be playing:

  • A5, G5, F#5, F5 and E5 chords
  • Alternate strumming
  • Natural harmonics
  • Percussive strumming
  • 16th note strumming
