I like to learn a guitar 🎸 ...I am a beginner

Thanks Tom, that really means a lot! Love your channel.

You both are transforming my playing! I’m making some big strides after playing for 11 years. Awesome stuff!!!

How nice gesture to give a good comment for your fellow jazz instructor!

@@6strings5904 if it is good then it is good 🙂

Man my soul dropped when he said next level of difficulty

@@Nichi-Ji And tempi over 200bpm xD. I have to practice a lot to get there, thats a lot of time. this is excercising for pros like benson, i knew all this stuff now i see it again and feel small. I admire his skills, ❤

Thanks!

Agreed. His channel is relatively new. Thankfully, hes one of a handful of players that will easily get to 100k subs on talent alone. Timing, feel, and ridiculous chops.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your comment and support towards the channel!

Thanks for the nice words and for checking out the video. The purpose of this one was to show the different placements which I like to put the click of the metronome on in order to practise the responsibility of keeping the time. These exercises are definitely extremely difficult however there is no easy way to start out feeling this stuff other then gradually taking it through the different levels of difficulty (4 clicks per bar, 2 clicks per, 1 click per bar etc). I certainly do count in my head as I lock into the tempo before playing but there is only one way to count, so I didn't have anything to add there (it's just tough and takes a lot of practice, repetition and dedication). To begin with, I recommend playing something which you can play effortlessly so that you can put all your focus on locking in with the tempo. The clicks of the metronome (whatever placement you choose it to be on) is purely a reference and not something to rely on. This is what forces us to have the responsibility of the time and practises our sense of the rhythmic grid. The examples/improvisations which I played are exactly that to me. But it doesn't really matter what I play because if we put the click on beat 2, it will fall on beat 2 regardless of what is played. Some of the examples definitely had fast tempos but with this kind of metronome practice, it's actually much easier to do at a faster tempo than a slower tempo. For example, playing at 300bpm with the click falling on beat 2 every 2 bars is much easier then playing at 60bpm with the click falling on beat 2 every 2 bars.. Not easier in regards to the technique/speed execution, but easier because there is less empty space which we need to be responsible for within the rhythmic grid.. and as this is our focus when practising this specific concept, the real challenge would be doing this stuff at a much slower tempo. I should say that my videos are there to share the things I've worked on as well as the concepts I've been exposed to which I've then spent time developing for myself, plus, sharing this stuff also gives me a reason to improve on them further. It's up to you to find a way to take these concepts, work them out, and use them to improve your own skills. It's definitely advanced stuff which requires certain prerequisite material to get a grasp of and therefore, it's hard to cater to every viewer as everyone has a different level of experience. I just try to do my best to create a detailed overview and I just hope it inspires someone to want to work on these fun musical ideas. If you do need some extra guidance then feel free to drop me an email. I truly get so much joy from sharing these ideas to other likeminded musicians who have an interest in this stuff and I love to help in any way I can. I'm also in the process of transcribing everything I played in the video with the click placements written alongside the notation/tab. It may help to feel where the beats are if you see the examples written out (especially for some of the polyrhythmic metric modulation examples I attempt to do later in the video). The pdf's will be available on my Patreon page. I hope this expresses the fact that I just want to share some cool stuff which I love to practise. I really appreciate you following the channel and I look forward to making many more videos!
