Here's another video in my "Sensei Series", today we're going to talk about one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of musicality, rhythm. If you subscribed to watch whacky music videos, FEAR NOT! These videos will not be replacing those but are something I can put out while I work on the next big thing.

    Hey dude, Here's another tip to exercise rythm that I like to use. It's vey easy, just try jamming on a groove by only using 1 or 2 notes, that way you're not distracted by the melody and you can really focus on the rythm you're using with these two notes :) Love your video's man, keep it up!

  • @AnkothOfficial

    I'm pretty sure that's what dancing and head banging is used for. Keeping time to the music, and being in sync. When you do a dance, such as head banging, you are in sync with the piece in question. I head bang to the beat when I play keyboard, and it works better for me than tapping my foot, which gives me twitches and pins and needles. If you want to see headbanging work, check out Slayer's Repentless video. Kerry King (the lead guitarist) is literally grooving, and banging his head with the song (very fast since it's a fast song). With headbanging, your essentially acknowledges the beat with the swing of your head, and it can also help count off beats as well (1 and 2 and etc.) If you headbang faster.

    A really nice exercise is to set the metronome to 40BPM when playing a 120BPM 4/4 song, so that only the first beat matches. It is quite difficult at the beginning but really gets you out of your comfort zone.

    Tip for metronomes. Instead of trying to divide or subdivide in your head, multiply the BPM by the ratio of that note compared to a quarter note. (So eight to quarter would be 2:1) I feel it makes it easier to feel it.

    Love this series! You're a good teacher, because you use practical advice. As for next techniques, I'd vote for a typical styles of playing the guitar. Such as using both hands to make shapes, tapping, inverting hands, crazy things like that. As for the groovy song, I have to go with "Mas" by Black Guayaba. Really nice rock track. With a lot of feeling.

    I really need to use a metronome more often, and really work on my foot tapping and ghost strumming. I love your analogy of referring to the strumming hand as a rhythm pendulum that never stops moving, therefore we're not concerned about up and down strums but whether or not we're hitting the strings or not on those movements.

    Great topic. When I use to teach I urged my students to get a cheap drum machine. I'm sure not all will agree, but I think even a cheap drum machine is more inspiring than the tick of a metronome. It makes a new student "feel" like they making music quicker. IMHO.
