So I watched the video. And then I tried grooving with the metronome on beats 2 and 4. It's hard. But it kind of clicks after a bit, and it wasn't that difficult unless I started thinking about it, like when you're jogging up a flight of stairs and you suddenly try to actually notice where each foot is going and what the back is doing and then...you trip over the step because you were thinking about it too hard. Yeah, like that. I bet it's a lot easier for the jazzers than a more 1 & 3 rock guy like myself.
And the metronome is your friend. Your Musician's Friend (someone should use that for a business idea...)
And also my most curséd enemy, damn thy too-regular eyes! But a very useful enemy, to make you a better player.
2 and 4 is interesting. I'm not convinced it's for me, but I can definitely see how it would open things up for jazz.
Meanwhile, me and my best friend, Rubato, will over here chilling, and frustrating studio engineers--who are also me--trying to sync other tracks to that free-flowing, New Age Progressive crap I have so much of that's never seen a metronome it liked.
But I kid! (Not kidding.
