Beat Basics

Hi GMC!

This lesson is all about the beat in music. I'll show you how to find the beat and also introduce you to simple counting and ways of keeping the time (beat). Material we'll cover is essential for understanding rhythm guitar and will be extra useful for those looking to play chord strumming songs and figure out the strumming rhythm patterns.

I'll show you how concepts covered in this lesson relate directly to guitar and strumming and this will be a good basis for further rhythm study of note values, rhythms, time signatures as well as metronome practice.

This is a simple yet crucial lesson I want you to focus on as it is possible to skip these fundamentals in the early beginning and then figure out years later what kind of mistake was done which also means lost practice time.
