Is it coincidence that a lesson on using 8th notes is the 8th lesson in this series of videos? This was a really thoughtful lesson, hadn't ever thought about 8th notes as structure that stabilizes rhythm but you know what, I'm pretty excited about putting this into practice. As usual, looking forward to your next lesson in this series!
Great lesson, Adam. I've had many students over the years whose rhythm playing had the exact problem of not carefully defining the length of their quarter notes. As I'm sure you know, that leads to dragging the tempo, accenting certain beats inappropriately or inconsistently, etc. The eighth notes are the key. Thanks...oj
I have been studying rhythm more lately - this post is SO good. I like how leaving gaps in straight 8ths can come up with so many interesting patterns. Add in swung eighths, or eight note triplets and it gets crazier. The vamp you did at 7:18 is awesome - I put that into my looper and amazing what a bed it created for some fun improv! Subscribed!
The Telecaster - I'm not sure. It's on long-term loan from a friend. My best guess is it's a late-’60s body with an early-’70s neck. Neck pickup is a Gibson T-top from the same era.
Hey Adam...I enjoy your videos and playing so much... it seems to me that what defines your playing is what you don't play... can you do something about your relationship to silence stillness and restraint at some stage...
@AdamLevyGuitar thanks again...I think dwelling in the silence allows the music to occur... that's the feeling I get from your music... also bill frisell...and most notably Miles
You have to play to the rythem and cords always resolve your runs guitar players cant stay on time its not their purpose appreciate feedback on my original guitar compositions
Underrated channel! No nonsense just helpful tips

Not a coincidence!

This has been a game changer for me… thanks Adam! 🍻

I don't have anything quite like that planned for this 10-part series, but I can do an à la carte talk about that. Thanks for asking.

Reminds me of a huge part of aural skills in college. I could defiantly work on this more.
Great lesson! Fantastic examples on improving timing and feel.
Is lesson 7 going to be about 7ths? 😂
Maybe ...
It's so difficult to be on time! I was thinking to swallow a metronome 😅 Thank you, master.
No it isn’t. “Practise,practise, practise.” Is the secret.
Ha! Well, I wouldn't recommend that.
