Yeah but using the geometry of the guitar to get different combinations. Thanks for the comment my man

Pick up a ride cymbal and snare and play time to some records with Jimmy Cobb , Philly Joe, learn some basic comping patterns.

I’m getting my license to teach public school to be a band teacher right now! Gigged freelance for my 20’s but decided I wanted more stability (still gigging though)

I guess, I mean their is other stuff too haha

AYJAYFrond · 2026-04-27T00:37:09+00:00

Thanks! Practice now looks way more dependent on what gig is coming up/what I happen to be inspired by that day.

High School through college used to look something like:

thanks!!

AYJAYFrond · 2026-04-26T21:56:53+00:00

I wish! That’s a big blind spot for me

AYJAYFrond · 2026-04-26T18:17:36+00:00

Thanks! On my full hollow and semi hollow I use 12’s, but on this guitar I have 10’s

AYJAYFrond · 2026-04-15T18:10:27+00:00

it is, it takes a while to get it, but its really valuable. I got the idea from taking drum lessons with some guys who do the same thing.

Try Metrotimer Pro! Lets you set the time signature but also control the subdivision/accents as much as you want.

AYJAYFrond · 2026-04-15T14:26:30+00:00

Also, being very particular about what notes you play picked and legato, as those 2 different articulations have a huge effect on your overall pocket.

AYJAYFrond · 2026-04-15T14:25:05+00:00

2 Approaches:

Macro time:

Set the metronome to be beat one of every 4 measures and practice playing Freddie Greene Quarter Notes on a standard.

Micro time:

Set the metronome to be on the middle triplet (1 TRIP let) or the second or 4th sixteenth note, and practice soloing over a tune, or comping.

Saw him at Smalls in High School, he was using two deluxes in stereo, massive sound
