Develop Impeccable Lead Guitar Timing - The Basics

Get extra fretjam on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fretjam Lesson page: https://www.fretjam.com/lead-guitar-timing.html Good timing is essential if your aim is to be a competent lead guitarist who can play with other musicians. This lesson begins a series on developing your lead timing skills, starting with note values. Timing is about how notes are divided up in a rhythm. In this lesson, we look at the core note values used in music, from whole notes to sixteenth notes, and how they are positioned along the musical timeline. By understanding note values, and how to time them to a simple beat pattern (or metronome), you'll already be well on your way to creating articulate solos and riffs that command the listener's (and other musicians') attention. This lesson represents the foundation for developing good timing on guitar, or any instrument for that matter.
