Breaking rhythm down into an arrangement of 1 beat figures helps hone rhythm and develop solid sight reading skills. The concept can also be easily expanded to simplify syncopation and all the tuplets (3, 5, 6, 7, etc.).
If you want to perfect rhythm accuracy, sight read rhythm fluently, learn new guitar strum patterns easily and feel complex rhythms quickly, memorizing these building blocks of rhythm is one of the most important things you can do.

[@philburpalooza8]

Your tutorial shoud be a MUST WATCH especially for musicians like myself who grew up and learned witnout formal sight reading training. I am in 100% agreement with your approach for getting non readers to finally tear down the mental block that makes sight reading SO difficult for the ear self taught and non formally taught musicians! Reading the rhythm correctly will knock down 75% of the learning block because playing in rhythm makes the sight reading process 100000 times more natural feeling. The rest is patient practice... Kudos

this is the first of your vids i've ever seen - thanks for demystifying basic rhythm patterns so beautifully. it's usually such dry subject matter, but by demonstrating, as well as getting viewers involved in creating the rhythms themselves, you've given me a better chance of remembering it all!! truthfully, i'll have to watch it a few more times, just to be sure, but it was such an entertaining vid that i don't mind at all 😁

Great video. Although I do like vocally making a sound, sometimes I feel like counting helps me keep track of what part of the beat I'm actually on, to help emphasis certain notes on strong beats.
