Question 2: Can You Keep Time To a Metronome or a Backing Track?

Can you keep a steady beat and time to a metronome, backing track or with other musicians?

Keeping steady time is essential as a musician and this is something I consider a beginners skill.

Once again please watch the video above and copy me. Are you going ahead or behind the beat?

 

1st EXERCISE CHORDS = Am –  D –  Fmaj7 –  G  –  Play at 80bpm

2nd EXERCISE CHORDS = C –  Em –  G –  D  –  Play at 65bpm with 8th beats

 

If you’re finding this challenging then practice for 5 to 10 minutes each keeping time to a metronome.
