“It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing” You can take what you already know, tighten up the timing, clear out some space here and there to create tension, hit accents like you mean it, and BOOM! you catch on fire, your friends won’t know what got into you, but they will show up to watch you burn…. This is what you can do with a metronome.

Yes it is frustating to play slow, tried with scales got p*&$@d off and stopped. Will try again, thanks as always for the insight. Eric S.

Thanks for this. I remember that conversation with you. I had no idea that you actually adopted the technique. Keep doing it and at some point when you hear a metronome clicking away, it will automatically be on the 2 and 4….then you know that you have pretty much internalized life’s ‘swing’….and you can groove to it and make it sound like its speeding up and slowing down,,,,but it is you controlling the pace…not the machine controlling you…all groovy..
Later….Harry

September 27, 2013 - 8:10 pmGood day! This is kind of off topic but I need
some guidance from an established blog. Is it very
difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I
can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making
my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions?
Thanks
