A perfect example is Gabriels lesson RHCP meet Zakk Wylde. The fast part where he plays 7 notes per beat is impossible for me to grasp. Not in a sense that I can't play it even at slow speeds but in the sense that even when slowing it down REAL slow I can't seem to play 7 notes per beat!!! I dunno what it is but I can't get into my thick skull to think in different terms than always even amount of notes. Triplets are fine, but the transition to 5 notes, 7 notes etc. won't work for me. It's a whole other thing with 2, 4, 6 and 8 notes per beat; 'cuz that's an even number and that works just fine. Anyone else having this problem? And how do I learn to play odd amounts of notes?

Well, yeah. It's kinda retarded really. I have a real good sense of rhythm (or do I xD) but to play parts with uneven amounts of notes really melts down my brain. Sure I can count to 7 and tap my foot at 1, but I can't seem to do it in an even manner. If you've seen Kristofers video of basic metronome use you have the perfect example there when he tells you how to NOT play triplets. That's exactly what I'm doing only I'm playing 7 notes per beat.
