This shred guitar etude is inspired by Paul Gilbert sixes. Basically, you go up six notes across two strings, then start the next six notes on the same string you ended the first group of six notes. Do this until you reach the top two strings, then go down in the same fashion.
This is played in the key of G/Em, and begins with the 3 notes per string F# Locrian mode/scale shape. It climbs up a full octave and then resolves to a G note. Here are the tab files for this etude:

This guitar rhythm strumming pattern constantly goes between a dotted 8th note and 16th note.
I always teach students to do ghost strokes in between the chords you play for this rhythm in order to maintain the best rhythm possible. In other words, you strum down and hit the chord at the start of the beat, then move your hand back up and miss the strings, then move back down and miss the strings again, then, finally, hit the strings on an up stroke.

This was given to a guitar student to introduce them to the rhythm of a dotted 8th note followed by a 16th note. This pattern is played on beats two and four. The beats with all 16th notes are to help you lock on to how the beats are divided into four equal parts.

This guitar rhythm strumming pattern is basically playing three 16th notes, then an 8th note, then another 16th and another 8th note. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Yes, there is definitely a 16th note tied to another 16th note, but this is the equivalent of an 8th note. The count for this is 1ena_en_3ena_en_
