  • In an effort to put my money where my mouth is, I decided to do a video you can use on the daily to improve your counting and timing and subdividing beats on your guitar.
    Obviously everyone is someplace different and for some folks this will seem obvious and easy, but I have a hunch that for most, it'll be a struggle...
    But please take the time and it will pay off in a big way down the line, I promise.

    Great lesson advice but as a 60+ perpetual beginner I've learned that multitasking whilst playing the guitar and having to talk with the wife doesn't get a favourable response🤣🤣

    Also I keep track of the down beats with a down stroke. Works with all subdivisions and if you have good picking fundamentals it falls in place.
    Love the video! People don't focus enough on these fundamentals.
    Thanks!

    Hey Griff, what are the changes you're playing over? sounds great

    @Griff Ive played for 45 years and triplets have always been described to me by some great educators as "evenly-evenly-evenly"
    That put the important aspect of triplets to the for front it must be an equal spacing of a beat that is a derivitive of even spacing of 3 notes into a four note space.
    Also, don't you feel the most difficult triplet is the 1/4 note. Very difficult spacing 3 notes evenly across a 4 beat bar?
    For me the faster the triplet the easier it is to perform (tempo dependant) of course.

      That "e -ven-ly" is a good way to think about it for sure, but I'd have a REALLY hard time counting quarter triplets that way.

      Do you mean whole note trips? Those are always a beast especially at less than 100bpm
      I love your counting out loud pratice! However you say it that works well. I always count in my head but out loud is great. Helps with my vocals too!
      Thanks for your work!

    I don’t use a pick, that makes it harder.. I’ll have to get used to using one I think.

      Only if u want to. All the same applies.

    Step 1: DON'T!
    Counting is for children. It's not a musical practice. It's not how music is performed.

    • @bluesguitarunleashed

      Maybe it's not how you perform music, but at some point it's how you learned it whether you were aware of it or not. Sure, there are some people who get this naturally, but they are few and far between. If that's you, leave the rest of us alone to do what works.
