she inspired me soo soo soo much with her first album and the way she sings. She is the greatest musician of her generation. She deserves more credit to be honest
She’s absolutely right. I grew up in the 70s, started playing in 1987 (during the height of shred guitar), and learned to shred with no rhythm. 32nd note runs devoid of ant personality or feeling. And, I couldn’t play rhythm aside from a straight forward 4/4 power chord “chug”.
I actually had to go back and re-learn to play guitar.
When I started to listen to great players rather than great shredders, my whole musical world opened up.
WOW, I have been saying a lot of what KT says, for ages not knowing her thoughts. She is giving me soo much inspiration, to keep playing.
Saw KT in Bexhill last night, she is absolutely amazing live, what a voice 😍
So pleased to have found these KT classes. Love the sound from that Gibson too.
Thought your settings looked very radical compared to everything else I’ve tried.. I’ve really struggled with feel on ACC but these settings have helped massively! Can feel the cars slide’s much clearer giving more control and confidence.. Knocked 8’s off my record at the Nords on my first lap 8.20 .. Happy day! Thank you 🙏
KT, Really appreciate you sharing this stuff. Just saw you at the Arts Fest in Pittsburgh and you were awesome!! I’m amazed how well you layer so many tastful loops… and keep everything in time. Amazing.
I love that advice! I use to think I just sucked at playing with other people or my rhythm was just horribly off.
I too, was that percussive guitar player, going crazy on the kick snare and either I was really hard to follow and or, I was bored trying to tame my inner vamp-strum beast. Eventually, I also found some unorthodox drummers and percussionists, who helped me lock in and didn't try to make me strum like Johnny Cash all the time.
It's crazy to hear that a highly successful musician like KT. had a similar experience, in her musical journey, all the way up to stardom!
That right arm motion is something i learned watching KT play. Now I'm learning to overcome it in my electric melody playing 😂
So much to digest. Thanks!
She is the music 🤩
I love the application and phrase, trying to play drums on your guitar, you feel the groove, the heartbeat of the song. When you did first mention rhythm, it made me think of “ Black Horse And The Cherry Tree “ I heard you play it at a outdoor concert and the reverb with the open air environment made it sound so cool. I also thought Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine song, “ Rhythm Is Gonna Get You “. That Latin beat will breathe life into dead bones and cause them to get up and dance. LOL 😂 Like you say, practice along with your favorite songs and it will improve a person’s rhythm. Thanks. 🎸👍🙏😎✌️
My goodness, I’ve only heard her sing.
I think I’m in love….
I appreciate you so much! Ty for being REAL, and sharing these tips with us, and for free. 💗
Cheers KT, I've been struggling to play Suddenly I See for ages now especially the rhythm part at the very start Love that song so much
So precious suggestions... Hugs fron Italy
It takes boldness to play rhythm like you do. That is a sub lesson unto itself perhaps & I now will try to use my " boddy" as you pronounce it a little MORE. After all music helps to set you free & make you feel free. Why shouldn't our boddy be involved? Great to listen to you indeed
Thank you KT!
I am a rhythm freak and have been playing music (bass, guitar, vocals) more than fifty years. When I met my now husband, I was thrilled when he told me he also played guitar. I asked him if he had rhythm., and he said sure!
But he doesn't.
Nada.
We tried playing together and it almost ruined our marriage. In the first 10 years he didn't believe he had a problem. But my poor husband was simply unable to keep the up-down going on his guitar because as soon as he tried to change chords, he would either take a weird breath to hold a rest, or he would hit the down, no matter where he was in the pattern. BUT - it's been 10 more years, and he finally realized that if he really wants to fix this, he has to
FIRST get "humble, (admitting you can't do something doesn't need to be humiliating. It just means you're starting your journey.
SECOND get "open," (Let go of what you know and what comes easy. It is wrong. Allow yourself to suck at this new thing. That is learning.
THIRD get reeeeeeeal slow. Slower than slow, with a metronome.
And after 6 months of serious work he is finally beginning to relax and feel the elusive groove.
Thank God!
This is great! Always been a big fan of KT!
Awesome advice!!!
This is such awesome advice yet so basic like fine tuning sound advice Great!!
🙏👍
Very helpful, thank you!
I just love this advice. Having shattered my right wrist. I had to learn guitar again. Would you believe I think Iam now a better guitaist.
To the best of knowledge, Mike Daisey, was the master guitar sound of Elvis. No worries, study the songs. Thanks for the lesson!
Great video...
thank you.
Hi KT , so kool to see that guitar again from joules holland. Thanks for the advice.. I'll see you in Galway again next month!
without the rhythm you ain't got nothing!
I'd love to play Suddenly I See for you.
I've got some troubles to do that rhythm with right hand
All my tabs look like stringed cheerios
Sound advice from a sound lady, who produces sound sounds :)
It's the same video of anither of you
She'd be perfect for me. We could go back to her gome town where she can teach me better guitar and I can teach her how to golf at the greatest course in the world.
. . . “Golf” - ?.. ‘150 acres of God’s green earth - to ‘play a game’. Nah, I do believe Miss Tunstall is way above … ‘ g o l f ‘ . Google ‘George Carlin on Golf’. It’s all in there .
