What you NEED to know about drums (as a guitar player)
Drums, on a guitar channel?! Please bear with me...I think it's so important for guitar players to have a basic understanding of how drums work. In this video I cover drum basics, take a look at how common drum patterns are built, and discuss how I create drum parts for my songs and backing tracks.

    First, that Trent guitar looks really nice. Very nice instructional video. I learned some basics on triads then built an instrumental song around it having a world-class guitarist improvise over the triad progression. It was a very pleasant and critically acclaimed song. Thanks.

    Very nice playing and very nice sound. There's a guy named Ten Codaka does the bass lines for most Stooges songs a bunch of like music, and he's ridiculously accurate. So if you're a switch-hitter like me, you can check the bass part for this too (it's a really unusual line).

    Billy Zoom is a underrated guitar master - one of my favorite guitarists. Please consider doing a guitar lesson for X's Devil Doll. That's fairly considerably more advanced bit of guitaring, but it's one of their best songs and Billy's playing on it is iconic.

    Brilliant video, so well done sir. As a huge fan love how you approached this. One thing you missed to say was the stated influence of Django Reinhardt. On reverb MK often really played with the effect referring to its 'green eye' as something he incorporated into playing

    Frank Zappa based his guitar phrasing on drum rudiments, which is definitely an approach worth investigating - not that I've ever done it seriously myself.

    Great tutorial! Very useful stuff for a guitarist/songwriter putting tracks together. As a retired Austin studio owner/engineer, I've got to compliment you on the tuning of your studio kit. On that train of thought and as a fan of your backing tracks, do you ever do much with the tuning of individual drums in the virtual drumkits?

    Another great video that helps build the 'bigger picture'. I'm mainly a drummer but learning guitar, which is why I watch your videos. My wife is learning drums and this has been very useful to her too, showing how it all 'comes together' and the tip about focussed listening is great - because I've been banging on about it to her for ages! I use Superior Drummer a lot for my recordings too, but via a Yamaha electronic kit and it works brilliantly. So, many thanks for something a little different, put together and delivered in your usual clear and interesting way.
