But i would also say it is very important to incorporate what you don't know into what you know, blend it in, so it feels natural. He does that in this lesson. Great player.

Timing. Something that sounds extremely easy but is far from it.

It's important to say this works for EVERY instrument, and I'm saying this as a drummer. Great exercises, thank you for this.

Great lesson from Charles PuyoL :p

Listening to my uncle Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson! His timing was unreal on countless hit records!!! RIP Wah Wah!!!!!!!!

Probably some of the best timing exercises for building a strong foundation in timing and rhythm I’ve seen on KZread

RIP to this great teacher..he passed away last week..🙏🏿

@@SeanDriscollSoMuchSound bruh what was theat toxic comment, man I have been dying toget someone to explain to me why the fuck guitarists call modes positions, and then positions #'s for the fret. its so fucking confusing, from a piano playter. Glad you're alive! this was a killer lesson. for scale sequencing.

Every so often you stumble on a video that's not part of a weekly "x things to do" that's part of a revenue driving youtube channel but a piece of advice that is meant to last.

That's super kind of you to say Dieter, I appreciate it!

This is fantastic! I am a pianist, but highly applicable to improvisation on the piano as well. Thanks for the ideas.

8 years tutorials, tips & tricks and so on videos on youtube were so much useful, meaningful.Like you could really learn to do things and think for yourself and develp.

Groove makes even the simpelest of melodies amazing, liking all the lessons.

This is fantastic! thank you

This lesson is gold. Thank you so much.

Love the 4 on/ 4 off..never thought of that one. Nice job.

Feeling the subdivisions is really key to sight reading tricky rhythms, too. Being an amateur drummer also helps time feel

This really helped me to stay on time and drop records on the one beat! Thank you so much!

Thanks Sonny. I'm a big fan of Sweden, I've been 4 times and love it there.

Wow great tricks! Thank you so much! I will practice these with my metronome.

Fabulous stuff.

metronomics is the greatest metronome app ever!! can sequence and layer the most improbable rhythms, kind of like a Jim Black in a box!

Awesome! Love it. Thank you.

Learning how to feel time. Best explanation so far.

This is awesome. I love the second example. I'll be using this soon.

Sean, deeply thxs !

Sean, thanks a lot for this. You are my hero for this!

Now the drum and bass players will love to play with me. Thanks dude!!!

excellent metronome exercises, thank you for posting

Thank you!

Wonderfull played and great exercises, thank you!

Ben Monder is such a great reference, seen him many times and he's just unreal!

Best lesson!

Thanks for tour tips, mate. They are really good. Thanks a lot !!!!

Both vids are solid. Simple ways to make metronome training more engaging, more challenging. Thanks.

Thanks for checking them out!

Thanks man. I do have an Adam Rogers transcription in the can. That will probably be out in a couple weeks after I figure out the best way to teach what it is he's doing.

Ooooh Moose the Mooche, I had to play that for a final in Jazz Improv... what a beast of a tune.

Great Lesson! Thank you!

Holy moly. Great exercises! If anyone else is here 7 years later, I made some notes and an overview for myself. Exercise 1: Swing 2 & 4 -- 0:40 -- Set metronome to half speed, and use clicks as 2nd & 4th beat. -- Also use on pracicing new tunes. Exercise 2: Slow Jam (Torture) -- 2:55 -- Set metronome to 20 bpm. One note in a scale per click. Exercise 3: 4 On 4 Off -- 4:35 -- Set Time Guru to play 4 beats, then pause for 4 beats. Exercise 4: One, One and Done -- [Next video] -- Set up to hear first beat of the first bar, the first beat of the second, and silence for 2 bars. Exercise 5: Syncopation Nation [Next video] -- Set Time Guru to play the (2e&)a and the (4e)&. (see the video) Exercise 6: The disorienter -- [Next video] -- Variation of exercise 1. Set Time Guru to click beat 2, and try to keep time with this. Exercise 7: Song form exercise -- [Next video] -- Just the downbeats in a 12 bar blues. Set to click first beat in bar 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 9.

I get the metronome exercice at a slower pace, but when you practised on your tune at 2.30 i don't see how you / can t hear if beats 2 and 4 fall in the right notes. My ear cannot process both sounds at that speed.

Fantastic course. Thanks

Thanks for the amazing, ingenious and insightful video Sean! Just ‘liked and subscribed’, now I have to get my guitar and practice!

Excellent lesson, great playing, plus you make all the cool faces a guitar player should make!

Awesome! Very helpful video. Thank you very much.

Guy has great left hand technique!

great lesson! very very useful! thanks...tasty playing too

Beautiful lp

Sean this is a great lesson to improve rhythm. Thanks

Excellent material!

great exercises, phenomenal playing mate

cool man, thanks

Thank you! I was just looking for something like this since rhythm an groove are one of my weak sides.

Really useful, thank you

Always enjoy your vids and follow your blog!

Fantastic yes, altough I wouldnt try to play scales, I would use the scale as the framework and play music inside it.

Absolutely great wise video - should be in every student consciousness! Many thanks

Great lesson!

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Nice, I'm gonna work on this today!

I've always considered myself to be a good rythm/groove player, but this will surely make me even better at it. Thanks Sean!

really amazing, thank you

Great advice, Thanks!

Great video thank you !

GREAT playing! (Even your scales sound so musical!) :)

Thanks so much!

Thanks!!!!!!!! Really appreciate this! And awesome playing btw!

NIce stuff. Your videos are always such a treat. I use some of the ideas alot when im teaching. Keep it up. Cheers from Sweden! / Sonny

as a serious student of percussion I must say he killed that 20 bpm exercise, every note was right on point! It's not that easy (especially to lock in right away without letting such a slow tempo sink in to the mind / body for a while)

Incredible.

Hey man! It's been so long. Sounding great as always, and great metronome exercises. -Peace

Thank you for sharing 🎶🎶🎷

Nice one Sean! and nice to see you again after 17 years :)

Great stuff Sean!

Lot's more coming!

Awesome Tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for this! Is great :)

These are all great exercises. Thanks for the post. I'm always looking for & trying to come up with my own "metronome games." To add a twist to metronome on 2 & 4: try to put (hear) the clicks on the "& of 1" and the "& of 3." This is an extremely difficult exercise I got from a drummer. It's hard enough to just hear it, it's a whole other difficulty level to actually play something along to the click like this. You can also do something similar in time feel 3/4. I learned this from a guitarist: place click on 1 and the "& of 2" (you should be feeling the dotted quarter note pulse). And another twist on that exercise, place the click on the offbeat of anyone of those 3 beats--I'm currently working on "& of 1." Metronome needs to be set at a slow pulse. It's extremely difficult, but it will definitely improve your time-feel & groove.
