  • Keeping time is essential, for ANY musician. Then why is it that guitarists have such an aversion to the metronome? Well, it's actually cause we're a bit lazy, and a little bit fraidy cats too.
    This simple tool helps us to build core strength in recognizing and internalizing meter and subdivision. Here are a few metronome drills, some easy, some hard that will help you fix your relationship with the metronome today.

    Great explanation! There is a sign in my office that says, Counting is to music as breathing is to life! That makes the metronome water.

      Perfect! I do these types of drills a couple times per week just for a few minutes, to keep the rust from forming :)

    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.

    • @curiousguitarist
      @curiousguitarist  3 месяца назад +1

      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!

    Probably the best and most effective lesson yet, but, I expect most will try to do it way too fast instead of accurate and clean. Thanks Chris 👍

    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.

    • @curiousguitarist
      @curiousguitarist  3 месяца назад +1

      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

    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 🤷‍♂️

    • @curiousguitarist
      @curiousguitarist  3 месяца назад

      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!
