Unlearning the Fake Rhythm Trap

In my last blog, you learned that you may have been taught rhythm wrong, by starting with reading note values without the context of hearing it or feeling how it connects to the beat.

That’s why the metronome is so frustrating! It totally throws off your sense of note values by forcing you to be aware of the steady beat, without having ever learned how it fits in the context of the rhythm.

So, if you have always found the metronome to be more distracting than helpful, then today is the day that you are going to finally start to get rhythm!

Check out this YouTube video I made unpacking the Fake Rhythm Trap, and how to go from reading note values to actually understanding rhythm in context:

With that understanding you will be well on your way, but I have some of my favorite tips and exercises coming in the next emails. They will make a huge difference for actually applying this to your playing and starting to see the metronome as a helpful tool!

Happy True Rhythm Mastering,
