Disco — Electric guitar

On the electric guitar a chord progression tends to sound best when you keep the shapes compact and let the amplified sustain hold them, trusting the band to cover the low notes. Few styles scream 'party' like disco: a pulse hitting every beat of the bar — that is, the four-on-the-floor drive that gets bodies moving all on their own. Here you'll find the genre's strumming patterns to recreate that bright, danceable bounce.
