I’ve just discovered Robert's lessons « Rhythm & Licks 1-4 » and I want to recommend them for everyone who is interested in learning how to play rhythm and licks in one song and learn how to mute strokes by releasing the fingers off the fretboard a little bit. That's a demanding technique at the beginning!
Robert explains it very well. I’m learning a lot. I've never done it before but I’ll dig into it.
AND: The practice sessions sound really, really cool and help keeping motivation high.
This will keep me busy for months!
Thanks a lot, Birgit

@bluesiline, "That's a demanding technique at the beginning!"
That is a hard earned technique- one I need to revisit. Love the R&L series lessons.

Clayton, taking into consideration your level of guitar playing, you mean: revisiting on a very high level!
I have to built it from the bottom up. But to have the best time possible with it, I have a recommendation for the lesson „Rhythm & Licks 1“:
Instead of using a metronome, I take the very good drum backing track (120 bpm) from „Rhythm & Licks 3“, converted to 90 bpm, and use it for practicing only the chords while muting the upstrokes.
The drum track really inspires and helps focusing on playing chords, chords chords….. 😊 👍.

@bluesiline, oh, believe me it remains challenging. Maybe it's the perspective that I want to sound better, smoother, and with that elusive groove.
Speaking of Groove, moving to drums for tempo is cool, all the more because of adjusting tempo to build your skills. Really nice step up.
Hmmm, I definitely need to revisit R&L. I think I recorded some efforts years ago from amp speaker into iPad microphone propped up by the amp.
