Rhythm is not just played notes, of course, but also rests, which we'll see in this lesson.

Rest means silence, not muted.

As usual we'll consider every combibation of notes and rests inside every rhythm group. You can use a single note, open string or a power chord.

1) Eighth notes (2 notes per click)

2) Triplets (3 notes per click)

3) Sixteenth notes (4 notes per click): on the first staff one sixteenth note is omitted, two on the second staff.

Here's an example repeating a rhythm group containing a rest:

Sounds familiar?

4) Combinations.
