    Holy moly. Great exercises! If anyone else is here 7 years later, I made some notes and an overview for myself.
    Exercise 1: Swing 2 & 4 -- 0:40
    -- Set metronome to half speed, and use clicks as 2nd & 4th beat.
    -- Also use on pracicing new tunes.
    Exercise 2: Slow Jam (Torture) -- 2:55
    -- Set metronome to 20 bpm. One note in a scale per click.
    Exercise 3: 4 On 4 Off -- 4:35
    -- Set Time Guru to play 4 beats, then pause for 4 beats.
    Exercise 4: One, One and Done -- [Next video]
    -- Set up to hear first beat of the first bar, the first beat of the second, and silence for 2 bars.
    Exercise 5: Syncopation Nation [Next video]
    -- Set Time Guru to play the (2e&)a and the (4e)&. (see the video)
    Exercise 6: The disorienter -- [Next video]
    -- Variation of exercise 1. Set Time Guru to click beat 2, and try to keep time with this.
    Exercise 7: Song form exercise -- [Next video]
    -- Just the downbeats in a 12 bar blues. Set to click first beat in bar 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 9.

      I get the metronome exercice at a slower pace, but when you practised on your tune at 2.30 i don't see how you / can t hear if beats 2 and 4 fall in the right notes. My ear cannot process both sounds at that speed.

    These are all great exercises. Thanks for the post. I'm always looking for & trying to come up with my own "metronome games." To add a twist to metronome on 2 & 4: try to put (hear) the clicks on the "& of 1" and the "& of 3." This is an extremely difficult exercise I got from a drummer. It's hard enough to just hear it, it's a whole other difficulty level to actually play something along to the click like this. You can also do something similar in time feel 3/4. I learned this from a guitarist: place click on 1 and the "& of 2" (you should be feeling the dotted quarter note pulse). And another twist on that exercise, place the click on the offbeat of anyone of those 3 beats--I'm currently working on "& of 1." Metronome needs to be set at a slow pulse. It's extremely difficult, but it will definitely improve your time-feel & groove.

    • @SeanDriscollSoMuchSound
      @SeanDriscollSoMuchSound  10 лет назад +1

      Thanks Ellis. I don't have a straight answer as it's kind of yes and no. I'm not constantly subdividing, I think mostly my attention is on the specific tempo or maybe the beat pattern of a song. If it's a very slow tempo, maybe something under 60bpm, then I'd say yes I'm probably feeling at least 8th note subdivisions.
