When I'm playing at home I never lose track. I'm always right on track. With my weekly jam every time I'm playing the rhythm, I lose count of where I'm at. Your immediate response, most likely, is, "You're nervous". But I really don't think I am. We're not on stage. Just three guys with guitars jamming. It is always on the first four bars. I will switch to the IV chord either one bar early (on the 4th bar) which is what happens most of the time, or I will play 5 bars of I chord and switch, obviously on the 6th bar. As I said it just 3 guys jamming. Last Wednesday I started the rhythm, just an easy shuffle, and I don't know how many times the guy playing lead to my rhythm would go, "You're early ( or late)" So is there any secret to trying to keep in time AND play the rhythm clean AND count bars? ?? Or just experience? -
Those of us working session 13, "Playing the Blues", or anyone interested in Blues Rhythm or comping might find this article in this month's Premier Guitar interesting. It is titled "Rhythm Rules: 8 Ways to Navigate a 12-Bar Blues". No hot soloing licks here. "In this lesson, we’ll look at eight different 12-bar rhythm styles that you can expand on or alter to fit nearly any situation. "
