Rhythmic Note Reading

[V7#5b9]

It’s not exactly theory, but I couldn’t think of a better section to put it in. I’ve been posting Griff’s stuff quite a bit lately, but it’s all good and certainly worth watching. This video is different though because it deals with note reading and rhythmic note reading in particular. Even solid music readers may want to spend the 40+ minutes absorbing the information. After all, music reading for guitar has its intricacies. Griff covers 4/4 straight, 4/4 triplet, and 12/8 time signatures. The first half of the video may seem very basic, but the second half covers more tricky stuff. And as Steve says: “Learn all you can!”

Thanks Gerard. When you've worked through that, there is a fantastic and fun app you can find that helps you to develop your rhythmic note reading and sense of timing in real time. It generates rhythmic notation at various levels of complexity and you have to tap the rhythm on the screen in real time and it tells you if you were ahead, behind, spot on or missed each note. Its addictive and infuriating at the same time, but really does help. It's called ReadRhythm
