Legendary Earth, Wind & Fire guitarist Al McKay is easily one of the best rhythm players ever (also a great lead player!). If you have seen the video of his amazing jam at Norman's Rare Guitars you know exactly what I'm talking about. In this lesson I will break down some of the amazing things he played in that jam on "Serpentine Fire". To get the correct feel, almost all of this is played with downstrum rhythm.
