Sorry if this has been requested before. I know Kris touched on it in the metronome lesson, and that there is a timing exercise by Muris, but I think I'm in need of a series of lessons that cover timing in depth, from basics to stuff like odd times.
I think timing is extremely important, because if you cut music down into the most basic of explanations, it's notes played is a certain timing, so it's like half of music. I would love to see more lessons dedicated to timing. Like the theory of timing along with it''s application in band situations. Maybe a collab with Kyle on drums and a guitar instructor.
Personally, I have a pretty ok natural sense of timing, but when I play with someone else, I'm going along with the feel of the timing, I don't actually know the machine that drives timing like I know the theory behind note selection, like scales, modes, chords, and formulas. I feel that this is a big hole in my playing. I'm absolutely obsessed with knowing how things work, and considering I'm trying to become a musician I know very little about timing. I'm currently checking out Andrew's 101 Time lessons, but I think I'm in need of something more applied? I'm not sure. I'm not trying to discredit your lessons Andrew, I think I'm just the kind of person that learns by hearing and doing.
I think more video timing lessons will benefit players of all skill levels on this site, if one of the instructors is kind enough to indulge me, I'll be forever grateful!
