Ignore what was said in the intro.<\/p>\n<p>16th beats open up a world of rhythm opportunities. Up to now each bar of music (playing with 8th beats) only had a choice of 8 places to strum. We now have double that number.<\/p>\n<p>When you play in 16th beats for each hit of the metronome (quarter beat) you\u2019re playing 4 hits.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s comfortable, play a louder hits on the numbers. For example\u00a0<strong>1<\/strong>\u00a0e + a\u00a0<strong>2<\/strong>\u00a0e + a etc<\/p>\n<p>Read the rhythms as blocks of beats.
