One thing to say to you Michael is that youtube should be honored to be part of its community. You are a real diamond and I really learnt a lot of things from you. Please, don't stop, people need like these videos . You are spreading 'musicality' traits to all of us. Keep up the good work.
Finally something that actually helped me with this. Been playing for over a year and can play some pretty complicated stuff but this has been something Ive always struggled with despite it seeming really simple on the surface
This is actually something that most players pick up at some point if they've spent enough time with metronome. It becomes like a second nature. I hear the first few beeps and then the sound simply disappears. Start out with something simple, like get an 8th note groove going on playing muted strings and let the metronome do the rest.
Most metronome lessons just teach playing along with a scale or a simple strum pattern. This lesson teaches improvising. What I really need to see is playing a full song with intro., verse, chorus, licks, and ending along with a metronome.
Totally agree! I’ve watched tons of metronome videos and never seen an actual use of it with an actual song to show us the reality of how it works. This is where I am struggling! I’m tired of hearing simples 1, 2 , 3 ,4…. It’s theory, it’s the beginning but not daily reality.
this is a really helpful approach. my timing has suffered from relying on backing tracks for practice. yet, practice with a metronome has been elusive and painful for me. i think that this will help. thanks!
Congratulations on your new family member may GOD BLESS him and protect him in this crazy world that will soon return to normality Great lesson btw I wish you were around when I stared off or explain it the way you do here Bravo Peace
I am glad I landed on your channel. I completely connect with just about everything you are saying and doing. I'm going to be embarking on a last chance guitar immersion program when I retire in a bit. I'm looking around sampling stuff now with an eye toward real immersion in a year or so. You are very high on my list at the moment. Good luck with the new baby.
huge thanks for all the content you keep putting out there my dude, it's always a steady supply of inspiration, and BIG GRATS on the on the baby, wishing you and your family well
Congratulations on new addition 👏... gotta have time! obviously have your own sound but I hear some schoefield a go go sound ,which is one of my favorites, and little mark knopfler at the end🎶very cool
I would suspect that if you’re truly ‘Listening’ to & along with the metronome IT also teaches you to pay attention to the SPACE Between the notes~~ the timing specifically 🧐 (I am an insane music lover~know a few guitar chords & played drums in 7th&8th grades) I am so impressed with note spacing, how it allows me essentially to become my own/or simply an instrument while dancing 💃🏼; I was once told by a band warming up backstage that I was dancing 💃🏼 a flutists part that they once used to incorporate 😳😊)
Hey man! , i crashed into your channel a few days ago, i love your Grateful Dead/ Dead and Co videos (really useful!) . Can you do more tutorials on how to impro like John Mayer with Dead and Co?? btw congrats! best wishes.
Love the channel! Please do Dead and Co “Terrapin Station!!” I’ve worked out a lot but wanna dive more into the solo and ending sections. Love how many sections the song has....so good
great content, thanks. BTW I am thinking of buying a prs mccarty 594 like the one you are playing. Is it better than a gibson les paul? Your advice is highly appreciated. Thanks.
I wish you would have had the metronome louder so we could better hear how the licks linked up with the one. Not saying they did go off. But I do it myself. I mean sometimes. Just once in a while. But congratulations!
Another thing that i believe is important is to internalize that beat, meaning you get your body moving/grooving to that beat. Notice your body, head, hand, arm, foot moving to that beat and keeping timing. You do it naturally in this and all your videos. If you are not doing that naturally, you need to work on that IMO
Actually, I'm an intermediate player who has struggled with timing since I picked up a guitar in 1988 in college so I actually really appreciate this lesson quite a bit. Thanks @guitargate. Congrats on another little dude!
This reminded me of this old video by drummer Peter Erskine who also talked about visualizing different divisions of the metronome: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W6zyie8PuI0.html
While your in the hospital or now back at home congratulations on the new baby. That's a beautiful thing. Here's an interview with Jake Cinninger of UM. Enjoy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OC3TkWQHpX8.html
