Brian is awesome. His course's got really cool rhythm practice to work on.

Great tip I learned in martial arts regarding tip #4 - "An Amateur practices until they get it right. A Professional practices until they never get it wrong" - There is a WORLD of difference between those two!!

Great list - I struggle with the counting aspect of rhythm so I'd love to see additional videos re: how to approach that.

Ha, I like the intro.😀 I’ll be staying tuned in for these sessions as well!

A big rhythm challenge for me was learning how to move in time physically after getting trained to stay completely still at school as a kid and then later at work. Now when I struggle with a rhythm I march in place for as long it takes to count and clap and understand it. So I think another mistake guitar players make is thinking the hands are the only thing.

These are all excellent points. One I had to learn the hard way and I know it seems strange is that not everything is played perfectly in time even on records and live performances even though we do our best to achieve that even the pro's don't get it right on every beat on every song and section especially on older recordings like in the 60's 70's and some of the 80's. It's okay if you are not perfectly on time aswell as long as it sounds good then its absolutely legal. A song that taught me this lesson is Brighton Rock by Queen the album version. There are parts where Brian May is slightly ahead of the beat and i'm not sure if it was intentional or just how it was recorded and he couldn't hear the drums or didn't have time or money to re-record but either way its part of the songs identity and give the frantic and driving atmosphere to the song.
