Hi everyone,

This seems a stupid question or at least the reason I am asking it seems stupid, I know about 4/4 time and 3/4 time, but when I am asked to count 123,123, 123 or 1 & 2 & 3 & I get cofused and lose my place in the tab.

Also in strumming there is a great lesson here which says Keep time, say it, Play it,

this lesson is brilliant, but as soon as I try on my own with out his ingeniuos method I lose it.

Did others go through this and will I get it in the end????????


Thanks

Yes you will. You will get to the point where you will internalize it by tapping your foot and feeling it in your body. You will reach the point where you only need to count long enough for you to get the feel of the rythmn and then forget about the counting.

I agree with Allthumbs, and when you get your music on the inside, the joy of playing the guitar is fully realized. Improvizations usually follow. Finally, you will be able to play the guitar without even having one in your hands; in your mind.
