- *New rhythm tutorial video with world renowned master musician Kevin Nathaniel: • Learn Rhythm Basics wi...
Develop a stronger sense of rhythm and timing by practicing these basic clapping exercises with the metronome. I see a lot of musicians out there who are great at making good sounds and are funky and awesome sounding but their sense of rhythm is totally ungrounded. They speed up, they slow down and its almost beyond their control. I used to be like that but after years of practicing with the metronome very diligently I’ve finally come to a point where I can hold a rhythm and take the role of a drummer and ease into a consistent repetition and that’s what’s really makes music have a sense of grounding. So what I want to give to you is some very simple exercises that you can do without any instrument. We are just going to use a metronome and clapping to do all of this. If you don’t have a metronome, it’s totally fine, just use one of the free metronome sites or apps below.

I struggle immensely with these basic rhythms. Thanks you so much for putting in the time (no pun) in to making and posting these videos!
You're very welcome!
I swear if I get another Simply Piano ad
Me lmaooooo
It's the universe trying to tell you something. Unless you're not looking to learn the piano. Then it's just the universe being an a**hole

You guys are getting ads🙄
I am vanced user, never see any ads.
Here I am clapping in the middle of the night xD
How are you reading via notation?
my sense of rhythm is terrible, i appreciate you putting this up.
as with a lot of 'self-teaching' style videos, the exercises are really what makes it an effective teaching tool. the practices you chose were specific and deliberate. thanks so much and very well done.
Aubrey Scott thank you so much! Theres more coming so subscribe to our channel to be notified

We are never to old to up our skills in music. this is very basic but I totally get it. I wish our drummer did too!! Andy (57 anos, punk/blues guiarist)
This is my main problem. People say I can sing beautifully but I am always out of tempo. 😔
I'm having the same problem 😢

This is what I did after 40 years of people getting up and leaving while I played acoustic guitar. Went to jam session and someone sidelined me and said I needed to “meter”myself.
And told me this same information.
I bought a KLIQ , metropitch digital tuner
With earphone Jack,
Put it my ear every time I play.....
EVERY TIME..... have the tick tick tick going. That’s your drummer.
I Velcro’d it onto the neck of my guitar.
Remember, you’re listeners don’t care if you miss a word or a chord but if you change tempo and they’re gonzo.
Tempo=frequency=the beat=the rhythm
Don’t play any song for two years without that metronome ticking in your ear..
You’re welcome
Same ugh
Sameee

I used to practice to a metronome at 6 bpm. Took me awhile to get it.
Lol...
yeah, to play at 6bpm, you need to smoke lots of weed to get it right. Trust me.
You'd have to memorise how long a second is and then clap on every 1st bat out of 10.
where did you find a 6bpm metronome?
I don't know but i kinda doubt that.
This is basic stuff that’s so important to understand. I am finding it quite helpful. Thank you.
Thankyou so much! I am always watching my friends mouth to stay with the rhythm as we sing. This will be a big help. Much appreciated🤗
Anybody believe is this technique and apply it will see big improvement. Thank you for the tip
You are So right AJ! It's tough having to say to someone, "Thanks for coming, we'll call you if we need you." Everyone knows what that really means. There are so many people with technical ability to spare but they just can't get in the pocket. If you tell me who your favorite musician is, I will tell you what's probably sitting on their coffee table at home! Do not be afraid of the metronome. Seriously people, this kid is SO right on with this message. You just gotta' get the groove and you just can't do that without practicing rhythm.
thanks grady... your words mean a lot. keep it going!
I have been playing congas for 30 yrs. Middle Eastern percussion for 16 yrs, Drum for weekly belly dance class, congas/ percussion at church, E-drum kit at weekly jam, samba band for 11 yrs. I practice with a metronome or drum machine regularly. Do drills with metronome. It’s said I am not the most ‘creative’ percussionist around, but that I am solid rock steady!
@@revkelly58 For anyone truly interested in this, there is a book (The Bible of Rhythm!) for teaching or learning rhythm called "Rhythmic Training." Super helpful.
No one:
Literally no one:
Me:vibin to the beatings
Lmao
Clapping on the 4. Holding (maintainng) rhythm. Try 1 and 2 and 3 and FOUR and 1 and 2 and 3 and FOUR. Counting in such a way will help you greet the rhythm. You will establish a point of reference.
Let the rhythm come to you, instead of you going to it. Create GROOVE.
Thank you! I have a very bad rhythm when playing guitar, but your lesson gives me confidence that I can still improve
Ewout Lagendijk curious how you got guitar lessons without your instructor being VERY adamant on the metronome?
Great to hear from you Ewout. I hope that this class and others to come can help musicians who play any instrument. What have you found most helpful in improving your rhythm?
So, it's been 2 years. Have you improved? I have an awful sense of rhythm and I'm looking for ideas to correct this
@@pedrofunes1278 Yeah I want to know, I am a really good player but sometimes my rhythm sense fails and I fail as a consequence even tho I'm technically proficient
Just so you know, it helped me understand a bit more for a person who is considerably musical knowledge illiterate ❤
I thought it was impossible when we got to 1- - + - - 4 - it felt as if my head was going to explode and I’m relieved others felt the same. But after 3 days of practice with your video, I’m getting there. THANK YOU.
So happy to hear it!
80 bpm
1- Once every four beats for 3-4 mins. (Count in your head)
2- 1 _ 3 4
Rhythmic subdivisions-Syncopated rhythms
(1+2+3+4+)
3- Count the subdivisions/upbeats/"ands" and clap on them
4- 1 2 + (3) + 4
5- 1 + (2) + (3) + (4) + Eighth note subdivisions
6- 1 (2) + (3) 4 (Count 1+2+3+4+)
7- 1 + (2) + (3) + 4
Thanks for breaking this all down. It will be helpful for anyone who needs a quick guide to the exercises in this video!
Thanks a lot buddy
Thank you for the brilliant lesson!
EXCELLENT VIDEO, THANK YOU SO MUCH AJ.
i was in chamber orchestra in highschool and this video brought back so much!
The band directors like to have you count like this, right?
@@didgeproject yeah we would count out at piece before playing it
This video is of great help. Clear and straight to the point. You are the best.
Thank you for this valuable information. You did a great job explaining this. I am actually starting to understand and I love the simple exercises. Keep up the great work.
This video is absolutely amazing! Thank you!
I play flute. Rhythm is my weakest area. Your video helped me a lot, and I could see by the end, I was losing it. But the path is clear and I know what I have to do. I will say - this requires an act of faith. By practicing these exercises, which I know I clearly need to be able to do, I just can't visualize the benefit to my playing. Not yet. So like I say - I'm going on faith here, and I'll let you know how it works out. I'll save this video to my watch again practice list. You're a good teacher and it felt like you were looking at me clap and I felt the encouragement. Thanks again!
Did it work?
@@athiyum5920 Just tried it again. It is a great video, but I need to come back to it more often than every 2 years! Haha! I have a lot of enthusiasm, but not a lot of consistency. I'll try to be better about this. I have been using a metronome over these past 2 years though, and that has helped.
@@Mikeshawtodayhow'd it go?

Amazing amazing I loved it!!!
Awesome, thanks a lot
Thank you for your help
Thank u to giving me interest in this topic
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much. This has been very helpful to me, beyond words helpful. I'm a songwriter and have just come back to songwriting after many years. I was trying metronome exercises on my guitar but this is better, to make up my own rhythm with that simple chart and clap to it. Awesome.
Awesome tutorial 🔥👍
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
thank you. I'm exited to show this to my kids to practice.
Awesome video! I also like to do this to my favorite music. Really helpful.
thank you, really helpful!
Thank you so much for showing such a tactile method to approaching rhythm. I’m beginning to see how rhythm is the dots that connects everything in music, most importantly the spaces in between the beat and the spaces between the notes. I would like you to cover more advanced levels of this kind of lesson. Am categorically writing down the possibilities of rhythmic ideas possible in just one bar. And soon learn to mix and match the patterns that work best and also bring contrast. Thanks so much again dear soul 🖖🏽❤️☺️✌🏽
Clapping great! Another reason for metronome (i like mcadams) is proper ensemble score alignment. Luv it!
Ecellent work. I wish I had your sense of rhythm and time. It helped me a lot to grasp a bit of this beautiful world called music.
Brilliant video!!
A.J. Block, Many thanks for this lesson, I found it really helpful, you have really helped me. Many many thanks
Thank you so much dude.
