Great lesson. Metronome is difficult for beginners but your explanation will help us. Btw I have seen Samantha last year here in UK and going to see her again this year. Thanks for great lesson

Great video man. One of those i didn’t know I needed until I started it. Thanks as always brotha

Great lesson, not what I have usually seen on YouTube.
I’m 3 years into learning guitar and can find the pulse easy but maybe not the down beat.
Even more confusing is when a song comes in on say the third beat and some even overlap into other bars.
I think Breadfan by Budgie does this and its very fast as well.

I can fingerpick Smokestack Lightning at 90 bpm with metronome, it feels right.
I believe it should be played quicker as fast as 110 bpm.
I’m away from home for a couple more weeks.
I think doing some Zoom or Skype lessons with you would really be the best thing to do when I’m back home with fast wifi.
Thanks again.

This lesson looks like good timing!

I was just going over my timing today, metronome etc to try a figure out how to improve.
I can play a lot of songs but my timing is a bit lame or even worse.

merci.super intéressant.on peut même travailler son anglais en travaillant la musique;cool.carpe diem

[darrylbrooks]

What a great video. I've been trying to learn fingerstyle on my own for a couple of years and use a metronome a lot, but this gave me a lot of great ideas. How does the style of this video compare to your fingerstyle course? Would it be okay for a semi-late beginner?

Thanks and keep up the great work.

This was a great lesson! Thanks man. Maybe one with a 12 / 8 slow blues would be great.

Is practising to a drum track better because it's more like playing with another musician?

[johnpistotnik]

I got it no problem. And when I play rhythm I can count. it's when I break off into lead It goes to hell.
