I just did this excercise yesterday for the first time in months and i thought to myself "why don't i do that like every day?!" Great stuff and good timing
@curiousguitarist ive been playing now for nearly 2 years, you have been absolutely monumental in my learning chris, i cant even articulate how much of my learning has come from your teachings. Your a master of your craft were so lucky to have you
Chris, my guitar teacher drills into me the metronome exercises at various speeds and importance of accurate counting on sub division.Your video here has given great insight into the issues of timing.
Your guitar teacher is a wise sage! Remember, once you get it (which it sounds like you've got it already) then there's no need to toil over it, maybe a few times per week, for a few minutes. That'll keep it fresh enough! Thanks for the views and comments!
Thank you for presenting an accessible tutorial on this timing thing. I always seem to rush, and triplets feel so good - when they're IN TIME! So as you recommend, I'll use a metronome and push the envelope as my accuracy improves. Also kudos for making all these drills musically interesting. I'll be humming them all day.
i just took up drum lessons after decades of playing guitar. the drum practice of going through different subdivisions during one session was new to me. i have started practicing similarly with guitar. part of me is now critical of the conventional guitar teaching approach that emphasizes real scales and a static rhythm. maybe we would have been better off as guitar players by using symmetrical fretboard patterns and instead focusing on rhythm patterns just as you demonstrated here. the complexity of the scales can come after, just as in drums the complexity of moving around the kit can come after.
Truth! I think there's real validity in this idea. You could actually do all of these drills with a single note...maybe I should add that to the TAB...?
Heya Chris! Wanted to share an exercise I’ve been working on. Setting the metronome to like 50, then counting those as the 2nd and 4th beats. Then using that to improvise blues so you accent more around those beats. I can’t remember what channel I got it from but it’s really helping my blues phrasing. It’s groovy
@@curiousguitarist Exactly! Really gets the phrasing more around the swing/blues beats. That’s my favorite music. I may actually have gotten that off of Marty’s channel, now that I think about it 🤷♂️
@@curiousguitarist It’s tight, Bro. Music is the tightest of the arts. That’s what the Ancient Greeks believed. Socrates disdained reading because he believed it was bad for one’s memory. In other words, the way to learn is to listen
@@galacticfreds5339 yes, there are a few exclusive videos on my Patreon page that have more rhythm drills like these, and a bunch of studies in The Studio that feature subdivisions as well.
Chris zip received pay award from the courts yesterday an I would really like to sign up for a whole year in advance when the hits my bank. Where do I look for payment plans you offer? I am really excited to do this an have looked forward to my court date. Now that I am going to receive it, would like to prepare in advance. It could take up to 2 months before I get it, we shall see I just no for sure it's coming. Thanks, my friend I have been following tour lessons for a 3 yrs now, and it's time to dive real deep to get to my personal goals.
Here's the link to join The Studio, excited to get started! 7 day free trial too...and annual plan if you prefer. thestudio.curiousguitarist.com/checkout/studio-membership
Heya Chris! Hey, Rick Beato has a great new segment on Bach’s influence on rock music. I personally don’t believe that a majority of musicians know classical or jazz at all. Just generally speaking, but I’ve heard from guitarists who claim that the average rock guitar player is as good as the average jazz or classical player. I just think that’s absurd 🤷♂️
I haven’t seen it yet, looking forward to it. I think judging capability as an average is always dicey. I’ve seen some incredible rock players and some below wonderful jazz players. Go figure!
@@curiousguitarist which lesson of yours is the one where you do the Bach-inspired piece? I love the sound of classical on electric guitar when it’s done right
@@curiousguitarist and an apropos lesson for me since I’m just starting to get semi-comfortable with regular triads. The guitar can be a bitch, bro! 🤷♂️
