Many musicians often experience a sense of surprise and even horror when they hear themselves on a recording, primarily due to their timing. (“Am I really rushing that badly?”) Learning to play with good time is critical to so many aspects of being a musician. Firstly, if you’re a “rushin’ draggin'” musician, it can be challenging to secure regular gigs. But even if you work alone and record music by yourself, you’ll save a lot of time and editing headaches if you’re able to record a solid track to begin with. In this musical lesson video course, Larry Holcombe breaks down the subject in a clear, focused way that’s sure to improve your rhythmic feel by leaps and bounds! By the end of this musical video course, you’ll be well on your way to playing in the pocket and grooving hard. Larry begins by discussing some of the terminology (syncopation, swing, groove, etc.) used throughout the course so that everyone will be on the same page. Then you’ll start by working on the main pulse, where you’ll learn to count and play quarter, eighth, and 16th notes in various combinations while playing to a metronome. Larry also thoroughly covers beat division, which will lay the groundwork for our basic rhythmic theory.
