Guitar Free Lessons / Rhythm
It speed things up a lot if you learn to count basic rhythm notation - there's not many to cover.
Basically be familiar with counting whole notes, half, quarter, eighths, sixteenths 32's, and 64's, (the ones you use), and that will serve you well for the moment.
Here are the basic counts used in music -
- Beginners Rhythm Counting Tip Try clapping your hands on the underlined notes below, while keeping your foot tapping a constant 1 2 3 4. The foot goes on the (-)'s as well as the underlined numbers and comes up on the + signs... best slowly at first if your new to it.
Basic rhythm counting like this is a fundamental used in playing rhythm AND lead guitar. The same counting principles apply. It really can speed the whole process up if you understand how the counting system works. Plus you can communicate with other members of the band in a clear fashion.

- Count = 1 (-) (-) (-) 2...
- Count = 1 e a 2 e a 3... (or 1 trip-let 2...)
- Count = 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 ...

Guitar Free Lessons / Rhythm Tip: Practice these rhythm counts slowly at first until you feel comfortable with them and then speed them up.
Guitar Free Lessons / Rhythm Tip: The use of a metronome is strongly recommended here
Guitar Free Lessons / Rhythm Tip: Say the counts out loud as you play the rhythm
This vital and basic counting skill/tool can improve anyone's (genius' aside ;) musical ability. A thorough grounding in the counting basics to the uninitiated can shave years off the learning process. I do recommend investing in a good music primer to speed up an instrument's learning process. On the subject of tutors, here's an excellent Rhythm Guitar course I found worth looking at and considering.
