Description

This week’s podcast episode is all about Rule #8 of the Asylum. Today, I’m sharing some thoughts on how to develop good rhythm.
 
Often people feel they “lack rhythm” and get frustrated about this, especially since good rhythm skills are crucial for absolutely everything. The good news is, I truly believe no one is born with rhythm, rather good rhythm has to be developed.
 
This means you can start developing your rhythm today. So, I’ll show you a simple exercise to start improving your rhythm. I’ll talk about how to use a metronome so you can feel confident as you work on your rhythm skills.
 
I share a two-chord test you can apply regularly to see how your rhythm is improving. We’ll look at a fun rhythmic shift that can make your scales sound more interesting.
 
I’ll also tell you about The Gatekeeper’s backstory – why he has no rhythm and the evil dance he does when he locks someone up in the Acoustic Asylum. (Check out the earlier podcast episodes to discover more about The Gatekeeper!)
 
This episode is very practical and will be really useful for you if you want better rhythm skills. It’s a great opportunity to start improving your sense of rhythm, which will help improve your overall playing.
 
Don’t forget, you can get more tips, advice, and a powerful new free eBook on the 13 Ways to Escape the Acoustic Asylum from me, Dan Thorpe, by joining the email list here – https://acousticasylum.com/
