This metal rhythm consists of some reverse gallops, a gallop, and a couple down picked 8th notes. The rhythm here is
1en_2_na3_n_4en_ 1en(a)2(e)na3(e)n(a)4en(a)

This was given to a guitar student to test his rhythm reading/playing skills. The rhythm is constantly changing throughout the entire chord progression. Good luck!

This is basically a 4:3 polyrhythm. You have four chords being evenly spaced across three beats. After every third beat the polyrhythm starts over again. The fourth bar is just something to break away from the polyrhythm pattern being repeated over and over.
Most people struggle a LOT when they learn how to play this, so take your time and break this thing down into as many small pieces as needed so you can better understand what is happening. Good luck!

This is something I like to give students after they've advanced through SEVERAL different 16th note based strumming patterns. It's basically a polyrhythm that starts each bar/measure. You have 4 chords evenly spaced across the first 3 beats. Beat 4 is just a quarter note to give the brain a break from playing the polyrhythm.

Most guitar players falter when it comes to playing only on the up beat. This exercise takes things further and has you playing nothing but up strokes in between the down and up beats.

For most people I teach, like 95%, this particular rhythm pattern comes off as very challenging. Making sure to tap your foot only the down beats, and really feeling and counting this rhythm as it's written can feel really weird for most people.
The pattern of 16th to 8th note is repeated over and over again, which lasts 3 full bars. The 4th bar is something different to break things up before the chord progression repeats, and the weirdness begins again. Here are two ways to look at the count for all 4 bars: 1e_a2_na_en_4e_a|1_na_en_3e_a4_na|_en_2e_a3_na_en_|1_na2en_3e_a4___ 1e(n)a2(e)na(3)en(a)4e(n)a|1(e)na(2)en(a)3e(n)a4(e)na|(1)en(a)2e(n)a3(e)na(4)en(a)|1(e)na2en(a)3e(n)a4(ena)

This rhythm pattern is something given to guitar students as an introduction to a more challenging rhythm. The basic idea is to keep strumming a 16th note, 8th note, and keep repeating that. This has you constantly changing your down and up strokes - down up ____ up down ____ down up ____ up down
To help make this concept easier to understand, you will be playing a quarter note on beat 4 for every bar. The count for each bar can be viewed in two ways: 1e_a2_na_en_4 1e(n)a2(e)na(3)en(a)4 
Here is the Guitar Pro 6 tab for this lesson:
The first beat in every bar consists of a 16th note, 8th note, and another 16th note. Beats two, three, and four consist of a dotted 8th note and 16th note. Two ways you can look at the count are:
1e_a2__a3__a4__a 1e(n)a2(en)a3(en)a4(en)a 
Here is the Guitar Pro 6 tab for this lesson:
Two different rhythm patterns happen in each bar/measure in this rhythm exercise. Beats 1 and 2 consist of 16th+8th+16th notes. Beats 3 and 4 consist of a dotted 8th+16th note. Lots of up strokes should be used here to help create fluid strumming. The count for each bar is 1e_a2e_a3__a4__a
You could also view the count like 1e(n)a2e(n)a3(en)a4(en)a 
Here is the Guitar Pro 6 tab for this lesson:
Nothing but a dotted 8th note + 16th note for this guitar rhythm exercise. The count for this is 1__a2__a3__a4__a
You could also view the count like this - 1(en)a2(en)a3(en)a4(en)a
