Do you need help hitting the right strings on your guitar, especially when playing rhythm? It's a problem EVERY guitar player faces, and the only way to get better is to isolate the problem and work on it. This is an exercise I invented when I was learning to play rhythm, and it does an incredible job helping you become a more clean and accurate guitar player!
