I was inspired to start this thread after watching a video of Scott Henderson over in the whammy bar thread

Around 3:50 the subject moves on to rhythm displacement, which is cycling a small motif so that the beginning note falls in different places of the beat until the cycle eventually repeats itself, giving a syncopated sound.



In my opinion this is a very simple yet valuable approach in playing solos. How many of you guys do this already ? How many of you think you'll give it a go ?

Here is an older GMC lesson by Joe Katoldo that also incorporates this idea

Thank you Ben for sharing this video. I like Scott Henderson a lot and the rhythmic idea is really sensible.

Correct, he is known for odd note groups like 7 and 5 etc.. Rusty Cooley too.

I know a lot of those tricks biggrin.gif Learned them from Guthrie's book a few years ago, when he compares playing odd rhythmic subdivisions in such a way that they will fit in a bar - i.e. 5 notes per beat and then playing groups of 5 16th notes for instance over 4/4 bars, until you reach beat one. - Maybe a video example would be nice - so I'll come up with one smile.gif

Thanks for sharing, great vid smile.gif

I actually use a similar approach on the rhythm guitar sometimes, shakes things up a bit smile.gif
Not sure if it's the same method, but I play something faster or slower than the current rhythm and it takes a few times before it comes back into the rhythm (horribly explained, I know..) smile.gif

One of many tools that make simple things sound cool. One of many proves how rhythm variations are underrated by students searching for soloing improvements smile.gif

Very true. People would be surprised how often their favourite guitarists use it too.

It can also give an illusion of higher speeds !
