The Drums, The Band
During our lessons we play to programmed, full drum kit rhythms at a suitable speed for you, recreated for your songs with genuine drum sounds on the 'FruityLoops Studio' software rather than a ticking metronome. This will train you into band interaction from the very start of your learning. Not a feature of regular tutors.
Playing tight to a beat can be an odd challenge for many, but everybody loves the result when you crack it, as all of a sudden your notes sound like music. Then I play the second guitar layer or bass with you, maybe even sing and we sound like a full band. Of course this will be started at a slow tempo and then notched up to drive a challenge into your fingers.
Even if joining a band is not your goal with the guitar, following a rhythm will make a huge difference to your progress as it keeps you out of the trap of changing chords at your own convenience with stoppages between chords, plus when both hands follow a rhythm they synchronise much better to the master guide.
This all helps develop your musical ear because rather than distracted by other instrument's sounds, you get involved and responsive with each other's rhythms and dynamics. Not a feature of regular tutors.
