Thanks for this post! It's a great reminder how absolutely fundamental acquiring a good sense of rhythm is.

It also reminded me that I've seen a lot of beginners get frustrated at trying to make the leap from basic chord strumming to actual rock rhythm guitar playing. I did this series of tutorials aimed at solving that problem. I developed these exercises after seeing what really helped a lot of students get to the next level.
