    This wasn't a guitar lesson...this was an every instrument lesson. Respect and thanks for putting this out for the people Cory lad.

    "Random E7 thing?" That's the Wong riff!
  • More than the fact that this is a solid exercise tip, I’m super impressed with how well Cory can articulate and explain these intangible topics
  • @JumpMasterJef
    Watching this knowing fully well I can't strum with that speed and consistency but still locked in to learn, it's like a chicken watching the birds flying overhead.

    I wish I had started with this kind of thing 25 years ago. Invaluable
  • Love this, Corey! This is a great exercise for other, 'non-drum' instrumentalists who play a percussive role as well!

    I've seen this advice already, and it's a great one, but I still struggle to play in time even with all the accountability in the world. Nothing some good practice can't fix tho! Started to actually practice with a metronome for a week and it's already way better that it was Also, playing into a DAW and actually seeing what you've played on a grid helps me understand when I rush (i almost never drag), the hard part is to connect what you see on the screen with what you feel while playing. I almost never know that I'm rushing while playing, but i think I found that feeling when I'm spot on. I will use this technique when I'm ready for sure, thanks Cory!
  • Really great stuff Cory. Thank you. Agree. Particularly when I record, I'll take a 120 bpm song and then record it in 60, and it allows the room to add a ton of swing if you want. Less grid, more bump and run.

    I love you Cory! I have played guitar less than a year. I will practice this!

    Love this! Good stuff Cory!

    I've never heard of timing being subjective, thx for the great explanation and exercise!!
  • This exercise really reminds me of Victor Wooten and Anthony Wellington's rhythm/tempo lesson from their DVD! Wonder if Cory took inspiration from that, know he's a huge Wooten fan! Such a great lesson.
  • First watched Victor Wooten teach this probably 20 years ago and really stuck with me. Great one Cory!! BTW love your collab with Dirty Loops. Everyone check out Turbo. Sick!! Stanky. Keep it groovin. Cheers!
