QUOTE (Sunny @ Apr 20 2012, 08:43 PM)  Gusts of wind are blowing snow through the open gates of the old Guitar Temple. Set of footsteps leading into the darkness inside are being slowly covered by the snow. In the shadows on the doorstep lies a lonely offering, an orb, glowing faintly. The orb feels warm to the touch and seems to transform surrounding silence into a merry tune. http://soundcloud.com/sc01sunny/phb01 My first recording, far from perfect but I suppose it's a start.  At last, we have some Sun (ny) at The Temple ! Very good, young warrior.. your picking is very even but watch out for timing. In many places you were rushing the changes a little so you can relax back a bit more there, ok ? Really good start to your journey.. you have taken the first, most difficult step.. now onwards !

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Nov 8 2012, 11:53 AM) Also, it would be interesting to hear from Christophe or any other guitarist who can read this thread.. what helped you guys build a stronger sense of timing ?  I don't know if it's very common, I guess it's specific to each of us, but to get a stronger sense of timing I just play hundreds and hundreds take of the lesson I want to learn, this way I can memorize perfectly (almost ^^) where the notes go, when it comes to hard section I slow it down around a half (with no metronome just to get the "feeling" of the whole thing) until my fingers get used to, then speed up gradually. I'd recommend to every begginer to practice Emir's lesson : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/neocla...o_for_beginners which is really a PAIN to play the notes in tempo. Thanks to vibrato you can "count" the length of each note easily. The bend on D note of the B string is really hard to get it right. -------------------- Gear : ESP LTD MH-401QM ; Zoom G2.1Nu ; Blackstar HT-5 Preamp ; Blackstar HT-112 Speaker;

Cool, thanks for the input C-Man I developed my timing mainly by just playing with other people. I only knew a few chords so I had no choice but to play and synch in with others. I count myself lucky to have had that experience. If you don't have the opportunity to play with other players who already have a developed sense of timing then it can be harder to develop. Being able to tap your foot along to the beat is perhaps the most universally acknowledged way to develop internal timing
