For me, tapping my foot to quarter notes, is always a strong internal metronome that rarely let me down during times of need and it also gave me a good flow when jamming with my guitar alone. Does it help you? Can you do it and if not, why? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Rhythm in your head, and a rhythm that you give with your foot, are two entirely different things! If you exercise in the room, without backing tapes or metronome, and you think that is enough to repeat in your head- 1,2,3,4,.....it's a big mistake! This will confirm the first drummer with whom you are gonna play ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Works best for me with 16th notes at speed. The alternative picking 4 notes per count seems to come cleaner and easier to keep in time. The "eh an ah" still keeps the time without so much effort counting. I found out what Sinisa mentioned when starting off the hard way thou.

If you figure out why, and how to work on it, it will be my breakthrough point to remember.. Hey mate a good start would be to tap your foot over all the recordings you listen to - it'll get into your blood! Then, start with the easiest stuff you can play, tap your foot or nod your head while playing. You'll feel a very good sustain in the rhythmic part when doing so, try it with the easy stuff for starters and see what happens - if you encounter trouble let me know and we'll try to sort out a solution You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
