Great stuff. I didn’t know using the metronome could get this deep. I had to laugh out loud when he said “next level of difficulty” 🤣 after explaining what I thought was extremely difficult.
@@Nichi-Ji And tempi over 200bpm xD. I have to practice a lot to get there, thats a lot of time. this is excercising for pros like benson, i knew all this stuff now i see it again and feel small. I admire his skills, ❤
I've played guitar for 60 + years ..l will be studying every thing You've showed us. l found it all very exciting and inspiring you are absolutely brilliant.
As a self taught drummer I found it bizarre how you can take the exact same beat or rythm start it on a different beat and suddenly have to slow it down and retrain your brain to accept it. When I started working triplets I would always start on beat one until one day I started the triplet on 4 and a half, what a difference. There is much simplicity in what sounds complex once you get your brain wrapped around it. Your videos are outstanding and Im gonna donate to you because you’re not holding vital information hostage. Now my only problem is not trying to take on 5 videos at one time.
I've been out of my playing for about 7 years now but DAMN if 4:25 didn't bring back PTSD from music school, nothing could! Giant Steps will always be a staple no matter how long you go without it. Incredible playing.
Agreed. His channel is relatively new. Thankfully, hes one of a handful of players that will easily get to 100k subs on talent alone. Timing, feel, and ridiculous chops.
This is exactly what I need to learn and practice. There are amazing technical players out there with great chops and speed but this lesson is where its at if you want feel and articulation. Its all in the timing. Thanks so much for these lessons; you've changed my approach to practice and your a beast on guitar.
Finally another high value content tutorial video from Robbie Barnby. Always a pleasure to watch and listen to. A special gift of today. Thanks a lot for sharing. Okay, gotta go, need to practise, practise, practise again. Cheers DimiZ!
I need a masters degree to catch the flow of your teaching!! Daaamnn !!! I mean how can a person play like this and memorize all the complex theories!!! All just happening within a blink of my eyes. Watching all of your videos and wondering how much effort you gave on all of these!! I wish I had a Sensei like you.
Hopefully you can find time to upload more often, your content is amazing and the delivery's top notch Robbie, keep going, love it here, cheers from France!
Your time is coming. Keep creating such great content and everything else will take care of itself. Next year at this time.... Some compliation videos would really be neat. Jens or Rotam..
Really nicely done. Talking about the 2nd eight note of the triplet, listen to maloya wich is the music of reunion Island. Their music is entirely based on that. Although traditional it's been "fusionned" With jazz and one of the great pianist to check out is Meddy Gerville. I should mention Danyel Waro too for traditional stuff. One of the greatest there is.... Unbelievable music and who puts challenges in your rhythmic feel so to speak
Very good video editing and very beautiful images. The technique and knowledge are perfectly mastered. The "next level" use of the metronome reminds me of the work of a drummer. Despite everything, I continue to think that the best learning of the tempo and the development of its quality can be learned through contact with a great musician, the metronome will remain a tool that cannot teach us by impregnation. The impregnation, the physical sensation of the tempo, is learned by playing with experienced musicians. Thks for posting, nice work !
Great video, great advice thx. However, have to tell you a story: I sat in on a master class with the late great Oscar Peterson and someone asked him if he practiced with a metronome. He apparently got this question a lot, and he had a great deadpan answer, "No, and that's why I can't swing"
Incredible playing, production value and content. I do wish there was a little more insight into how to do some of these difficult exercises -- ie "start slow, count in your head, like this ..." and then show us that, rather than just stating what the exercise is, and then posting a perfect example at a blistering tempo that few mortals that are trying to learn this stuff can achieve. I LOVE Robbies videos, but I'm finding that they do more to impress me about his skills than to elevate my own. Like the chess Grandmaster calling out " .... and obviously, that's mate in 7..." We (sorry- I) need a little more handholding along the way.
Thanks for the nice words and for checking out the video. The purpose of this one was to show the different placements which I like to put the click of the metronome on in order to practise the responsibility of keeping the time. These exercises are definitely extremely difficult however there is no easy way to start out feeling this stuff other then gradually taking it through the different levels of difficulty (4 clicks per bar, 2 clicks per, 1 click per bar etc). I certainly do count in my head as I lock into the tempo before playing but there is only one way to count, so I didn't have anything to add there (it's just tough and takes a lot of practice, repetition and dedication). To begin with, I recommend playing something which you can play effortlessly so that you can put all your focus on locking in with the tempo. The clicks of the metronome (whatever placement you choose it to be on) is purely a reference and not something to rely on. This is what forces us to have the responsibility of the time and practises our sense of the rhythmic grid. The examples/improvisations which I played are exactly that to me. But it doesn't really matter what I play because if we put the click on beat 2, it will fall on beat 2 regardless of what is played. Some of the examples definitely had fast tempos but with this kind of metronome practice, it's actually much easier to do at a faster tempo than a slower tempo. For example, playing at 300bpm with the click falling on beat 2 every 2 bars is much easier then playing at 60bpm with the click falling on beat 2 every 2 bars.. Not easier in regards to the technique/speed execution, but easier because there is less empty space which we need to be responsible for within the rhythmic grid.. and as this is our focus when practising this specific concept, the real challenge would be doing this stuff at a much slower tempo. I should say that my videos are there to share the things I've worked on as well as the concepts I've been exposed to which I've then spent time developing for myself, plus, sharing this stuff also gives me a reason to improve on them further. It's up to you to find a way to take these concepts, work them out, and use them to improve your own skills. It's definitely advanced stuff which requires certain prerequisite material to get a grasp of and therefore, it's hard to cater to every viewer as everyone has a different level of experience. I just try to do my best to create a detailed overview and I just hope it inspires someone to want to work on these fun musical ideas. If you do need some extra guidance then feel free to drop me an email. I truly get so much joy from sharing these ideas to other likeminded musicians who have an interest in this stuff and I love to help in any way I can. I'm also in the process of transcribing everything I played in the video with the click placements written alongside the notation/tab. It may help to feel where the beats are if you see the examples written out (especially for some of the polyrhythmic metric modulation examples I attempt to do later in the video). The pdf's will be available on my Patreon page. I hope this expresses the fact that I just want to share some cool stuff which I love to practise. I really appreciate you following the channel and I look forward to making many more videos!
Thanks for watching guys! A full worksheet for all these (& more) metronome placements are available on my Patreon ► www.patreon.com/robbiebarnby
I like to learn a guitar 🎸 ...I am a beginner
Wow, Robbie! Just discovered your channel and playing. Incredible stuff!
Thanks Tom, that really means a lot! Love your channel.
You both are transforming my playing!
I’m making some big strides after playing for 11 years.
Awesome stuff!!!
Great video on an essential subject!
How nice gesture to give a good comment for your fellow jazz instructor!

If you started a music school or class you’d be completely sold out by the quality of your teaching. Great work, keep it up !
