Question

When I play the guitar...I always lose track of rhythm...any suggestions on how to keep track of the rhythm?

Answer 1

btw..it's just rhythm guitar...no leads or bass

Answer 2

Now THIS is a good question!!!

I can certainly help you with this

Answer 3

Are you trying to play your own music, or cover other songs when you play the rhythm guitar? (and are you working with an acoustic or an electric?

Answer 4

i use both (acoustic more often)...and normally i just do covers..

Answer 5

Ok, that makes this question much easier to work with...

So what is your favorite song to play along to? <----I want the answer to this to be as detailed as possible (only if there is a certain version that is more difficult to find that an original...)

Answer 6

if i remember right.. i usually play The Beatles - Norwegian Wood familiar with that? well in there i do some melody..it's no longer just rhythms...but rhythm-wise i play Cat Stevens - Father and Son and Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender the latter is supposedly just an easy tempo since it's slow but i really cant get it >.<

Answer 7

Love love love the track selection here! You now have my undivided attention.

Let me listen to the Elvis song first....since it sounds like that's the one you have the most trouble with.

Answer 11

You could always download a metronome on your phone :D that's what I do i play guitar too (:

Answer 12

I dont get the whole metronome thingy lol

Answer 13

You just have to find the right beat and it'll keep you on rythm lol

Answer 14

The Elvis song comes across to me as a typical 3/4 song with some syncopation. Can you count those beats? (without playing, first)

Answer 15

what do you mean by syncopation? michaela..that's the prolem i cant find it :p

Answer 16

Use a metronome - they can be annoying but they help soo much. You can get a cheap one for about $10, while super nice and expensive ones can be $200. A metronome will be your friend when you are trying to keep the beat.

Answer 17

Syncopation is when you take a normal rhythm (4/4 for example) and throw in a bit of flare or sass or bounce or whatever you wanna call it....hard to explain....listen to some funk!

Answer 18

this stuff is hard @_@

Answer 19

And a metronome will not help you, unless you already know how to keep rhythm. A metronome is a good guide for when you already know. If you don't understand what I mean by that, let me know
