Amazing. Exactly what I have been looking for. Playing over 20 years and have had some pretty frustrating times switching from rhythm to lead simultaneously just on feel alone. I'm hoping counting is the missing link for me. Thanks Griff.
Wow Griff!!! I'm really impressed, I've been looking to improve the rhythm since I started playing in 2017, many videos watched so far, but never found something so effective practical, I noticed how improved immediately and I really like your proposal and how you have organized it, I decided to buy your rhythm course just now! Thank you so much for helping us improve, best wishes!!!!
Bout time someone does a rhythm lesson. Seeing that it makes up half of music it's shocking at gets less attention than anything else! Can only beat the CAGED horse so much.
Simply because, for a beginner, they won't know the middle count is missing. I want someone who is playing in a swing feel to know that they are really playing in triplets, but skipping the middle count. Then, later, when it comes time to actually play triplets, the counting is not an issue.
yesterday I learned (while reading "Eruption"), that Eddie Van Halen couldn't/didn't count. of course, while my name is Ed, it's not "Edward", let alone Edward Van Halen, so I am going to keep working on this fundamental. 😀
EVH started music at a young age playing classical piano, then played drums, then guitar. His innate inner clock was impressive, to say the least! Most folks just don't have that, I'm sorry to say.
@@bluesguitarunleashed I can't think of the example, but he talked about how much he relied on Alex to keep time for him and told a story where he played a solo for Al and his brother told him "it's not finished" and he said "no, that's the whole thing" and Alex said "it's only 8 bars"
Man we need more stuff like this one, please keep it coming, make it a series.
Thank you for your time & effort.
Wow... Absolutely necessary and great lesson... Thank you!
You did a great Subject Rhythm and Counting is Core for music.
This is exactly what I've been missing and searching for 🙏
Just what I’ve been looking for and exactly what I need! Thanks😊
Good to see you are back!
You are the only TH-camr that talks about timing.
Very helpful. Thankyou ever so much Griff.

A harder thing for me personally has been landing chord tones on beat one of IV and V of the changes ....timing is everything...great lesson
I wish I had you as a teacher. And tough this way.
Great to see that Griff isn’t dead!
Yeah, thanks a lot, I always need to improve the groove!
Awesome
Great video man!!!!
Easy blues beginner lesson that makes total sense
geesh this is so-so helpful
Finally someone who teaches how to count, thank you Griff!. Quick question: why do you end playing on the U and not land on the number?
For ending, it's not vital either way. I do what feels good to me, but you may prefer something else.

what are those 16 notes
Why not 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & in a swing feel rather than the 1 + a 2 + a 3 + a 4 + a and never play the +?
