Cool Subdivisions w/ Metronomes

For the free tuition article about this video, check out http://stevepigott.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/metronome-secrets-for-guitar-24/


In the video, I've taken a simple rhythm guitar part and played it with the click on quarter notes at 120 bpm. Then I slow it down to half notes at 60bpm. Then again to whole notes at 30bpm. Throughout, I still play the same notes at the same speed but each time I half the metronome I'm taking away external reinforcement of the time. I'm forced to rely more heavily on my own sense of the pulse.

You'll notice I also start feeling the click on different beats in the bar (all explained in the video) -- this can be quite tricky, so stick with it!

I've hidden some modern RnB and gospel licks in the vid, so keep an ear out if you're into that kind of thing
