Hey guys I have decided to create a Rhythm Corner once a week every Tuesday I will be posting new exercises that will help you develop timing and be in the pocket!
All Lessons will be Tabs and GP 5 files!
There is only one rule:
ALWAYS PRACTICE THOSE EXERCISES USING A METRONOME AT A VERY SLOW TEMPO
If you not ignore ignore this rule you will harm the whole process of developing your timing!

Here are three exercises to start with!

I have a new challenge for you guys! It will be a series of 3 exercises posted once a week every other exercise will be a little more complicated! To practice this exercises you can use any song you want or any chord progression!
Ex. 1
1) find the tempo of a song you want to practice.
2)slow down the tempo to half of what it is normally (half time). For example, if your tempo is at 120 BPM (beats per minute), slow it down to 60 BPM. But while doing this, keep your “internal clock” beating at 120 BPM, but then make the clicks of the metronome at 60 BPM be beats 1 & 3 of the measure.
What you are essentially doing is removing beats 2 & 4 from the count of 120 BPM. So it’ll be up to you and your internal clock to keep in time with the beats you don’t hear.
This is a very simple and helpful exercise! It is also beginners friendly!!!
