One of my favorite lessons of yours! KZbin guitar teachers preach the importance of timing but for the most part dont give you much besides telling you to use a metronome. Im a self taught player who has primarily learned from KZbinrs. I started with basic open chords, to all 5 pentatonic positions, then major scale. But quickly felt limited even though my technical skills were quickly improving. So I went on a theory bender for a month or 2. Just focused on the basics like intervals, and contruction of chords and scales. Few months ago I a friend who plays drums wanted to jam after seering me play some BS at home for 2 minutes. When we got together and played I was imediatly humbled as I often am with guitar and realized my timing was horrific. That day I learned no matter how good your technique and how much thoery you know you will sound like shit in a real musical context unless you can keep time. Moral of my rant, work on timing from the start! I know its boring and can seem not important very early when you barely know any scales or chords but just do it! Youll thank me latter

Thank you now !

At first, I thought you were gonna mention a metronone right away as far as timing goes. But I actually really dig the exercise on geting the up strokes clean and on time. I still need to work on that so this was solid advice.

[@Darrell-xj2gp]

A metronome to a guitar player is the same as a Wave is to a Surfer...... The metronome and the wave are in charge.

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

A metronome is mechanical. Human's don't **play** like that. Play over records.

[@tigerauna]

Can you do a video on pinch harmonics picking technique?

[@Broomstick_Handle]

I've been needing help with timing. Some of those elements I hadn't heard of. Thank you, my warm up will be longer but It is much appreciated 👍

[@progrob27]

This is great, thanks

[@a1ru958]

Ive naturally done most of these things but these exercises really help cement these skills and explain what I am doing right and where I may need some work. Thanks for the video!

[@DRDINOMEOW]

I sleep to a metronome some nights letting it click all night and have gotten to a point where I can now figure out alot of song counts just from listening to a metronome at night. Edit: it’s not just a 4/4 patter. I do a 7/4, polyrhythm 4/4 5/4….

[@realBullrock]

Amazing right on spot again. Truly a gift 🙏🏻 Edit : I tried it right after I have seen it but it's so weird. I got to stick to very slow tempo (40bpm or so) to do it very clan. Which is a great general improvement following Guthrie Govans suggestion to leave the "comfort zone" from time to time.

Thanku for the lesson sir

Why am I hearing Superman from THPS1 on one of the exercises,

[@charlesclawson3445]

Good video, I had a friend who could shred, sweep pick, but he had no timing or could play chords

[@thomaskrahl2502]

Hi bernth. Ça you make a vidéo about dissonant chords used in band like Vildhjarta Hypno5e. It would be great to have a better understanding.

[@reinheitsgebot490]

How early in learning guitar should I begin practicing this? I am very new to guitar - I am still doing spiders and not consistently hitting the proper fretting, that level of new. Should I also be trying upstroke/timing exercises? Or is that jumping the gun?

[@starchild4627]

I suggest go and try it and if it goes well then thats great, bcuz you cant ever learn to much from practice routines and trainings

I will join the community but need to finish off a class I'm taking at the moment. Once done, the crazy German will have my company, all thanks to Paul Davids btw.

The Boss is not a crazy German. He is a Germaniac. Get it right, or pay the price

[@christo2690]

Hes got reallt nice exercises etc. Little short on theory type stuff very practically focussed. But its good

[@sirtogii5216]

@@christo2690 From the exercises I've followed on this platform I can totally understand that. I have enjoyed them and technique is something I am focussing on at the moment.

Hello you there Dion Tillman here, even though I'm on a budget I have so many hobbies I don't live in a home ,no not,,HOMELESS,, It is a senior living facility so I'm not concerned about being in a band or someone telling me what to, do, I enjoy all sorts of things and music I'm old, not a excuse but a fact
