Got too much hair to be Adam; Adam'll still have that close trim all over while we're all going bald...

Prince Westerburg adam is in a band and his job is playing music at weddings

Personally I don’t think Adam Neely will never be as cool as Rick Beato.

yes it is

It seems like hell if you can NOT read music but not understand rhythm.

Rhythm IS music. Music has 3 components: rhythm, melody and harmony (just those 3 parts). Maybe you mean that you understand what pitch is called for based on its location on the staff. If you can't read rhythms, then you absolutely cannot read music.

Prince Westerburg : Remember this: there is a BIG difference between being able to SLOWLY read/decipher music and being able to sight-read “Flight of The Bumblebee” or Frank Zappa’s famous “The Black Page”. Recognizing what pitch/note it is on the staff (both treble clef and bass clef) is pretty straightforward. Recognizing rhythms is the complicated part. If you want to make learning rhythm more fun then get a drum (played with sticks) or a hand drum. Get a book on rhythms, a metronome (or a metronome app.), and maybe an app. that teaches rhythms. I learned rhythms by working with a machine called “The TapMaster” (pre-computer days).

...and vice-versa if you're expected to read.. I *more* than understand rhythm, but reading? HAH!

Thanks!

Wow! For me too.

Me neither. Still don’t, and probably never will (because it really doesn’t), but that doesn’t matter. If it works for you, it works! I’m just happy to know that alternate conception is relatable to some people. Thank you for the comments!

@@NominalTopic I am totally confused. Thought that "a" is part of the upbeat. Why is Rick saying to think of it as being on the next beat? Makes no sense at all...

As a beginner, it makes no sense at all to me. Thinking that "a" is on the upbeat... Rick needs to explain this!!

@@ravimusic - I "think" he is talking about phrasing and how the "a" is usually a pick-up to the next beat. Also, maybe it helps to think this way so that you don't forget to carry on and go to the next beat?

Easy to understand? Are you really an alien? Because easy was not my first thought...

No kidding!

Same

True!

How did you get there? I’m struggling with this as I am learning to sight read standard notation on guitar. I can read the notes, but knowing how the music sounds, is hard.

@@nickfanzo say it. Like “1 e & a”. Or like Ironman Black Sabbath, 1 2 3 & 4/ 1e&a2e&3&4. Learn to sound out the rhythms.

I totally agree... I’m an upper intermediate piano player but from time to time I too struggle with rhythm but I’m determined to nail it. This video explains it perfectly, but I do keep watching it over and over again so that it sinks in (it’s impossible to grasp from one viewing because it covers complicated rhythms but it’s all there)

@@vivienwalker6578 lol that’s where most people quit 😂

@@jeanramirez6441 I quit when I got to the awkward age of 16 at grade 7 🤣😂🤣… back on it at 60 and for some reason progress is slower 🙄 and it feels like I’m starting from scratch 🙃
