TOTW #8 | Improving your timing made fun and easy! | Rhythm and Timing |

[@serph2951]

I recently started to record myself and after 6 years of playing I didn't know my timing was awful haha, this helped me a lot!!

[@reinhardtpienaar1316]

Best thing I did for my playing and timing is to record myself. Can highly recommend it to anyone.

[@bhargavkalita2207]

Me too i have been playing for 5 years now but just realised my timing sucks

[@ChristianVazquez12]

@@bhargavkalita2207 I'm in the same boat. I've been trying to record music but my rhythm is atrocious. I gotta work on that shit

Same. I have been playing for a while, but got into recording recently. I realized I gotta have a better relationship with the metronome hahaha

[@ChristianVazquez12]

​@ Right? It's not until you're trying to record that you realize your eighth notes sound like you're trying to play in swing tempo at all times. It's awful lol

[@datdaokid]

Went to the studio to record my debut EP.... yeah... I face planted. Was really shook up for a couple days because I had been practicing performing for WEEKS but not to a click... Real tough industry lesson, costly too lol

that's true. practice your own music is a real thing, but metronome makes things a lot different if you are not used, by experience

[@Whalegodman]

You're such an inspirational guitarist!! Your small tips here and there and beautiful guitar playing really make your videos shine out of the huge world of KZbin.

[@fabionieves27]

Congratulations Paul, you are a Genie! This is an old video now but another great one in your long long list… No doubt this is and will always be a key concept to be improved that you have well explained with your simple great teaching and tips. Also I have been using Loopz for some years since i discovered it as an App and it is fantastic, i`ve just heard today you are the developer, my reverence to you.... surely there are many good ones but to me this is the best i´ve used, not only as a great substitute of a metronome but to use as a drum basement in making compositions.... Thanks again for your incredible, charming, unique and efficient way to teaching guitar playing and please carry on for all your unconditional and thankful millions of pupils... To me you have well earned a place among the Real Masters…

[@MuhammadAbdullah-bd9td]

just downloaded this and I'm not over exaggerating when I say it's literally been one of the most helpful things ever

[@peters.6909]

Hallo Paul, I really love your Videos. I‘m 65 now and learned playing Guitar without Teacher listening my LPs. My Progress over the Last 12 months, when I started playing in a new band, is mainly due to you👍 Loopz is a cool app and the lick at 1:30 is another great exercise. Thank you very much

[@DebaJyotiKhawas]

I just bought my first guitar only a couple of weeks back and found this channel. Thank you so much Paul, for making it easier for me to know things. Can you please make a video about the very basics of notes, rhythm (I don't know what a 6/8 time signature means), scales and chords? It will be super-useful to me. Thank you again!

[@proculusjulius7035]

Hey there, how's your guitar playing now? 😀

[@peterwurzel1703]

You probably know about polyrythms already. But I thought it wouldn't harm to leave this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWLTlp2KnLGonqM

[@akshatsaxena1431]

@@peterwurzel1703 thanks man

[@kinnectthedots66]

Oh my god! Thank youuuuuu! This made practising scales so much more fun and now I can work on my timing too. I played a drone over the percussion and it's the most fun I've had while practicing.

[@MorningMoonDown]

Thanks for this. Earned a sub. I've been playing for about 5 years and sadly never payed much attention to timing due to being self taught and not playing with others much. Now that I'm meeting other musicians I realize I'm missing a key element in my ability to play with others and well pretty much I have to get on the ball and get back to basics

[@viktorogrin4665]

Hello Paul, thank you very much for your generosity. Anyone can understand with the ease each of your lesson, and you have a lot of them. Your channel is probably the best for learning theory and playing guitar. Congratulation.

[@arkapravadutta8319]

Ok i have to say this is an absolutely phenomenol way of practising scales and other rhythm related stuff. This is genius. Thank you man

[@austynkozak4073]

I have been playing guitar for a few years, but have drastically stunted my growth because i completely skipped over learning scales and theory... i recently just started to try to learn this stuff and have basically started the learning process all over again. This app is helping with this dramatically.

[@sasmitha8446]

I LOVE this app. Never thought you were the one who made it! Thank you! And if you can, please give me a drum loop that works well with I Don't Trust Myself?

[@AndorRosenberg]

Hi Paul. Im a mature beginner. Just getting my first guitar setup and will then be buying your course. Would a small pedal based drum machine be useful? I would rather this than an app on my phone. What and which one would you suggest?

[@nicholasscott9672]

That performance of "nothing else matters" at 69bpm was... nice

[@skaasjager5356]

You’re so right it makes a difference! Can’t find the app you’re using in Appstore, though… Anyone advise?!

[@breadboy2712]

Thank you sir. I'm a drummer and I gotta say, Loopz is the best! It has several different shaker rhythms that all sound great. I use it more often than my metronome nowadays:)

[@VintageWoodWorkshop]

great app! really enjoying your videos Paul! thanks for all the positive energy and excellent lessons. the variety of songs you play has really inspired me to expand my listening and work on various styles. I've been wanting to put up more guitar videos and you have really kicked me in the butt with your playing, knowledge, and video production. take care my friend! -Kyle

[@michmichelcernev1332]

Thank you Paul. What could i say it 's awesome material for practicing

[@hectorheath]

You didn't explain HOW to play with the Beat....

[@goncalolourenco6989]

Really nice channel, I really think you deserve way more Subs and views. Keep up with the good job!

[@PaulDavids]

Thank you so much! :-))

Thanks for LoopZ Paul. It's awesome

[@Darian-mk1bw]

I play acoustic guitar and don't even know what a time signature is lol. This helps quite a bit

[@marcussmith9444]

Hi Paul , am jazz guitar crazy , practicing insane hours over weekends .Ive done the rock guitar thing . I bought the Loops Pro version - all it did was allow me to tap the tempo . Can you talk to the developers about providing more jazz loops .otherwise the drum sounds and grooves are great !

[@MICKLEPICKLE1750]

Hey Paul, Great Quality user friendly app. I have bought the Pro version. Is there going to be a vst version to load it into my daw? also are there any more funk, soul and reggae loop packs on the horizon? willing to pay for the privilege. I use this app with Sonobus when we don't have a drummer available through a chord plugged into my interface. We have a lot of fun but some groups are dedicated to a straight style. Love Your Work! Michael

[@JoepvanOs]

Please make an Iphone version of Looperz. :-)

[@locobabylocke]

I'm always struggling with timing on stage, I mean everyone of us never had guitar, bass or drum lessons so we underrestimated timing in the first place but still I feel like it's not getting better even though I'm practicing with a metronome a lot...

[@bhargavkalita2207]

Im struggling with the same problem

[@jjs333]

Group timing is a lot harder than just individual not sure if you’re still working on it but it might help to start as simple as humanly possible in terms of tempo and harmony then slowly work ur way up

[@Gramasz]

I've been faced the reality pretty early. After 5 months of playing guitar my friend needed me to record something Easy for his kinda pop trapt project. He gave up on me pretty fast and he made me SEE the transients on Abletone live how off I was. When and how much I was off lol. I play for 2 years and a half and my timing improved a lot but not to a level where I'm satisfied. And whenever I go to record for his songs I sometimes have to do 90 takes

[@L.Z.-]

Is there an iOS version available?

[@johnjones5645]

Paul-I've paid the small amount for Loopz pro but it is making no difference i.e I can't change the tempo of the beats etc. What am I doing wrong?

[@outcome476]

Oh my, I have just downloaded this app it is really just amazing. (I had downloaded it before watching the video.)

[@user77434]

[@jasper_north]

You are haring an awesome groove...

[@julessanchez9216]

Paul, you’re so good that you make it look easy, but for me I don’t no why that I am having such a problem with timing. Since I started about 2 1/2 years ago or so, I have learned probably over 20 chords, but timing seems like my stumbling block. I keep trying but it feels like I haven’t gotten it yet.

[@bathrobeman66]

then ur doing what u need to

[@ahmki52298]

So when composing how do you change tempo but not lose the feel of a slow song

Hey Paul, thanks for the great vids! I ran into this one because I recalled a video where you showed a metronome app that you use which wasn’t the one on this vid - could you let me know what app it is? I also might be recalling incorrectly, if that’s the case, no worries! Thanks

Paul, how do you record loopz together with guitar? I would like to practice on ableton

THANK YOU!! SO Excited about this app!!

[@food4u598]

bro how to put intervals its just a same tune till end ..

[@ericheine2414]

The fewer notes per measure the more important timing becomes. Jumping rope and working a speed bag, will help you with your timing. You can't cheat the rope and you can't cheat the speed bag. This will also help you with your breathing. Set a metronome for 116 beats per minute, set a kitchen timer for 15 minutes, now jump rope for 15 minutes. Working with the drummers great. If your drummers name is Tommy Igoe. If you understand how to order drums. I want four on the floor, with quarter notes on the kick, an emphasis on the one and the three. Tell me what you want on the hi-hat, the snare, and the ride cymbal? Do you want some sixteenths on the bell? If he is a beginning guitar player who hasn't studied drums. He can't find his ass with both hands and a flashlight. He is busy working on how he looks. Drummers have better things to do than pack up their kits and help guitar players with their rhythm. Swing batter, swing.

[@karolina9888]

If you're learning scales just start slow, then Paul starts off at a "slow" speed. God help me, am I supposed to be that quick as a beginner ??? 😂😂😂😂😂

tbh you probably have reached his speed by now :) this is how fast you get in a week if you practice regularly.
