*New rhythm tutorial video with world renowned master musician Kevin Nathaniel: • Learn Rhythm Basics wi...
Develop a stronger sense of rhythm and timing by practicing these basic clapping exercises with the metronome. I see a lot of musicians out there who are great at making good sounds and are funky and awesome sounding but their sense of rhythm is totally ungrounded. They speed up, they slow down and its almost beyond their control. I used to be like that but after years of practicing with the metronome very diligently I’ve finally come to a point where I can hold a rhythm and take the role of a drummer and ease into a consistent repetition and that’s what’s really makes music have a sense of grounding. So what I want to give to you is some very simple exercises that you can do without any instrument. We are just going to use a metronome and clapping to do all of this. If you don’t have a metronome, it’s totally fine, just use one of the free metronome sites or apps below.

Charlmie Vera This is what I did after 40 years of people getting up and leaving while I played acoustic guitar. Went to jam session and someone sidelined me and said I needed to “meter”myself. And told me this same information. I bought a KLIQ , metropitch digital tuner With earphone Jack, Put it my ear every time I play..... EVERY TIME..... have the tick tick tick going. That’s your drummer. I Velcro’d it onto the neck of my guitar. Remember, you’re listeners don’t care if you miss a word or a chord but if you change tempo and they’re gonzo. Tempo=frequency=the beat=the rhythm Don’t play any song for two years without that metronome ticking in your ear.. You’re welcome

I need help to get my friend to use a metronome so we can play together. I even attempted to apply His unique style and professional and perfect timing that nobody else has ever been able to master his timing and he said that people are going to try to catch him perform out at a big club and they will try to join my band and embesell his timing so they can sell his timing and sell it possibly to another country do you think he might be on to something very important that he swears that God put this in his hands and only trusted him to keep it out of the devils hands so we are gonna move into a secure location and we. Will never be able to leave there so we just play together out of time and we are out of key and it sounds horrible but we are really geniuses who will probably never be able to play like the majority of the world who only play with a metronome and sound good and we are really geniuses and maybe word isn't ready for his timing and capabilities as the best musicains in the world and I believe him

Thank you so much for showing such a tactile method to approaching rhythm. I’m beginning to see how rhythm is the dots that connects everything in music, most importantly the spaces in between the beat and the spaces between the notes. I would like you to cover more advanced levels of this kind of lesson. Am categorically writing down the possibilities of rhythmic ideas possible in just one bar. And soon learn to mix and match the patterns that work best and also bring contrast. Thanks so much again dear soul 🖖🏽❤️☺️✌🏽

I'm working on the 3rd one determined to meet the challenge you gave! This video is well taught. You make working with rhythm easier. I play classical music and djembe drums. Rhythm has always been a challenge which drumming has helped and yet I can be so much better especially at breaking it down which you do superbly. Thank you!

Previously,I was getting the tablature memorized pretty well, & can now make the chords fairly quickly, but all songs i have tried playing,sounds so choppy and none melodical( is that a word?). This has helped me get 'a feel' for the rhythm. Barry

Clapping on the 4. Holding (maintainng) rhythm. Try 1 and 2 and 3 and FOUR and 1 and 2 and 3 and FOUR. Counting in such a way will help you greet the rhythm. You will establish a point of reference. Let the rhythm come to you, instead of you going to it. Create GROOVE.

Pat Metheny's First Circle really helped me with that. It forces you to subdivide in order to be on time with the accents during the clap intro. Once you can subdivide subconsciously you will have developed a good sense of time in general and thus time keeping become 2nd nature.
