[@NepaliSociety24]

People (me) usually rush into the solos and technical stuff instead shaping the foundation. Thanks for great lesson

OMG! I've been teaching music for almost 20 years and taught thousands of students and gigs in LA and I always the phrase "pocket groove" and no ever used that phrase until finally this video says it. Awesome! BTW: tempo is Italian for timing. They both mean the same thing.

Was playing this morning…. Did a few Songs and did OK… but watching this lesson/ listening to what you are saying about timing and pocket… this is EXACTLY what I am missing! My timing is on, then I speed up just a bit. Then I slow back down, and probably go to slow. Being honest with myself, you are covering what I am missing, TIMING AND POCKET!

[@syaoranoni54326]

This is what im realising now! I can only play in time if i dedicate all of my conscious mind to LISTENING to the metronome and give all the PLAYING over to my unconscious mind. Ive practised a lot to a metronome but ive always been listening to *me* and going out of time. Its actually quite easy to train yourself to ignore the metronome and play out of time if you do this. Thanks for the lesson.

[@dougsmith8430]

‘Play in the pocket’… The importance of keeping time. The Fundamentals of good Rhythm, so overlooked, yet the Key to playing is all based off a timely connection withe the Drummer and Bass player. THANK YOU FOR THIS MUCH NEEDED REMINDER!

I thought a rest note was when I play the rest of the notes? Serious though, my guitar playing never sounded musical for decades until I focused on rhythm and tempo, timing, metronome and the value of rest notes.

[@diekampioen1358]

excellent

[@BrandonJohnsonGuitar]

Thanks! :)

[@danialexquande7813]

I ve been play guitar for a long time, and learnt about theory and all of that stuff till l consider my self as a intermediate player. But i never thought about the tempo, and i realised that l im still weak at tempo,i dont know how to describe this feeling n , lm feeling down

[@fararmedia2189]

You can do it bro. Just use a metronome or backing drumming track!

[@jordan2mill]

Like how does it correlate to my strumming and picking?

[@namanjain7067]

Good

[@sheenajohnson5241]

Is metronome a app? How to use it

[@PhillipNeal]

Sad others don't get it

[@BrandonJohnsonGuitar]

Right!? :D

[@jordan2mill]

I wish I could understand timing

[@knowit555]

Attacked!!!

[@Forwardoperationbase]

To us newbies, what the heck is a "Lick"?

[@BrandonJohnsonGuitar]

A lick is a short series of notes that can be used to build solos or as an intro or outro. :)

[@Михаил-т1ж8л]

1/8?

[@jordan2mill]

Or is that not how I should be looking at it?

[@jordan2mill]

How do you practice to a metronome if you don’t understand timing?

[@BrandonJohnsonGuitar]

Good question... you use the metronome as a reference so you know whether you are in time. You put it on and then play a tune as if you are playing with a drummer.
