Summary

The creator explains that rhythm guitar is difficult, showcasing how a complex riff can be played with straight 8th notes. They then demonstrate how the 'Strum App' simplifies finding chords, implying it's a valuable tool for guitarists.

Product placement

Strum App: ACTS - its interface is operated to find guitar chords. Removing it would change how the chords are found. Strum App: APPEARS - a corner watermark/logo. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
