Q: Really feeling lost and frustrated with my rhythm. I can't seem to develop it to where I am playing in time. This badness flips over to my soloing. As I said, I have this trouble with relating to anything rhythmic. I'm starting to feel rhythmically debilitated. Any tips from you would simply rule! Kenny -- New York, USA A: I'd like to state up-front that rhythmic ability is one of the most neglected practices by guitar players. Keep in mind, without being able to play in time, it won't matter how good you are at things like; note-choice, scales, dynamics, technique, or harmony. Playing in time is an integral part of the framework that's necessary to help both you & your band-mates stay on-top of the beat. That internal "click-track" in your mind isn't just about being able to tap your foot. It's more like a musical compass for -- Not Becoming Lost in the Land of the Beat! In the video lesson I run through something I call a, "Duration Workout Exercise." If you can perfect this fairly straight-forward exercise, it will help a lot to improve the foundational building blocks of, "Playing Rhythm in Perfect Time."
