Time

Try to play this with a click track. Study the harmony (the tune is black Orfeus) and practice playing on the off beats.

Hi vibes friend today i'd like to talk about a topic that is particular important to me:
"Time feeling" and how to develop your inner metronome.

Thanks a lot for watching and remember to follow me on Facebook Instagram and Youtube!

I use a metronome a lot. You know some people are against using metronomes. And some of those people don't have good time. If a musician with great time is against metronomes, then ok, we disagree. But if you don't have great time and your against using a metronome then I don't get it. It would be a great tool for you in my opinion.

So here's an example of how I use it. I take a tune I'm working on and slow down the tempo. In this case the tune is in 3/4. I have the metronome hit on 1 and I play.

Here is an invaluable lesson. When you listen to someone play, vibes or any instrument, especially when they are playing solo. Listen once and then go back and snap your fingers. Listen to the time. Is it ok? Does it suck?

I record all the time at home and then go back listen and snap my fingers. Once in a while (ha ha, more than once in a while) I get done and snap and realize that that take SUCKS. Why? because my time sucks. We have to keep time, internal time.

So by keeping time with other recordings and video you are learning to keep internal time.
