Can you count loud the beat (for instance 1 - 2 - 3 - 4) when playing (intricate) guitar parts?

I've been told it's a good exercise to develop rhythm, which makes sense. What do you think?

Yeh, any way of counting that helps you with rhythm placement is good imo. Just don't do it when you play a gig. tongue.gif

Actually, sometimes Bruce Dickinson (singer of iron maiden) does it. He shouts "one two three four"!

Could be they were playing in 3/4 wink.gif

That said, we used to count into everything 1, 2, 3, 4 in my band. We thought it became a bit messy to count into 9/8, 15/16 or something weird.
