It's already been said, but practicing with a metronome (always) will help you a TON!! You'll get to know your timing issue a bit better, as well. For example, I've found that my timing isn't as accurate until I warm up for at least 10 mins. Great to know!! Also,timing issues can be different for each "lesson". Sometimes you may subconsciously be playing AHEAD of the beat, to give you a bit of breathing room on an upcoming difficult part of that run/riff/lesson. Understanding the cause of your "mistakes" can always help you to better correct them!!
Also, to help with REC vid timing.... as Dinaga had previously mentioned in another thread (which earned him a GMC funny!!), is to leave the video running while taking runs at REC takes. That way, you'll be more relaxed and it gives you a chance to improve your timing on several successive runs, as opposed to hitting "record" right before EVERY run!! Also, loop the backing! If you're not doing that currently for your REC takes, I guarantee that you will see a HUGE difference!! Of course, then just edit off the whole beginning of the video, to isolate your (last) KILLER rec-take!!! Also....you've discovered the #1 way to improve your timing already!!! Watching yourself on video!! For example..... My last EMULATOR show (above) was last-minute, and none of us were REALLY into it. Unfortunately, I let my timing and vibrato slip just a bit because I didn't care 100% (live, and learn!!). The BubbleMan Stage (starts about 3:36) has a riff where I just don't seem to groove it with the drums/band 100% precisely (shown at 3:46). I've put a lot of effort into perfecting my timing, riffs, and vibrato as much as possible with this band....so it's great to learn and see my mistakes, so I can find out both... -why did I make that mistake? In this case, timing. -how can I help to improve on that mistake in the future, based on the info I have. (this timing issue was really just an "attitude"/consistency issue) -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |
