| Re: Being on "Time"
Once we learn to play dotted eigths and triplets correctly, swing can be a little more difficult. Try thinking of the swing as a quintuplet (divided 3 + 2) or if you can actually subdivide that, go for a Milton Babbit kind of 13ths divided 8 + 5. This should get us to stop counting and start feeling the swing again. Accenting the wrong notes will get it to swing harder, of course. Have fun! |
