About This Class

Years ago, my first music teacher told me that my poor sense of rhythm would probably prevent me from ever becoming a successful musician. Now I make my living as a rhythm guitarist.

How do you count time in music? Are you in time when you play your songs? Do you want to sound exactly like the music you’re learning?

This course, which includes 14 exercises and 9 songs, will provide you with an easy method for counting time in music; teach you how to use the metronome as a practice aid; and show you how to change rhythm within a beat. If you struggle to stay on the beat, the exercises introduced here are a mini-course in how to maintain the rhythmic pulse. If you feel that you have a terrible sense of rhythm, I can assure you that, like any other music-related topic, rhythmic sense is something which can be learned. With the exercises in this course, you can master off-beats, triplets, and the ability to count any rhythm in rock-steady time.

Want to develop your musicality? Learning an instrument and want to sound really good when you play it?

For all of the above, a highly-developed sense of rhythm is crucial! This course will guide you from the very beginning in: how to use the metronome; how to develop your sense of rhythm through clapping; how to recognize a time signature and determine the time values of notes and rests; how to count eighth-notes, triplets, sixteenth-notes and dotted notes.

Although the first few exercises are very easy and basic in nature, the material becomes progressively more difficult as each new level is presented. By the end of the 7th level, you will find that you are practicing some exercises which are very challenging to clap and count.

In this course you will learn:

  • How to remain in time, learning how to change rhythm within a beat.

  • How to count the off-beat, the triplets, or 16th notes etc.

  • How to clap and count music.

  • 9 guitar song examples to each level
  • 14 exercises and 7 difficulty levels to help you become a “rhythm master”

I am a Spanish/Flamenco guitarist. In the type of music which I play, it is extremely important to remain in time, and to be able play complex rhythms. Furthermore, if you plan to play with other people or in a band, everyone involved needs to be able to maintain the same and consistent rhythm. So, for anyone contemplating a future in music, the material covered in this course is essential.

If you are playing an instrument you will almost certainly have to learn how to read rhythm, and the challenging material in this course will reinforce your musical knowledge about rhythm in traditional music notation.

Whether you’re a beginner seeking to unlock your natural rhythm, or an experienced player looking to resolve timing issues when playing your instrument - improve your rhythm with me and start your course today!

Transcripts

1. Promo video: Hi guys, my name is Dena and I'm a professional guitarist. You might know me from my YouTube channel, the Spanish guitar hub, which has over 70,000 subscribers and 50 million views. I'm a Spanish Flamenco guitarist and then my style of music, it is extremely important to know how to work with the metronome and how to be on time. That's why I designed this course for you. In this course, you are going to learn how to work with the metronome, how to recognize notes and rests. Also, you will be challenged with 14 different exercises in seven different levels. At first, the exercises will be pretty easy, but soon it will become extremely challenging. 1.2 and 3.4, and 123.4. Before you start your course, I suggest that you print out all of the exercises or ado. I'm going to count and clap all of them for you. And also we will pick some of the bars of the exercises and we're going to analyze them. The note starts at the beginning of the bar. So we circle one, it is a quarter note. So we go one step forward to this course is not just intended for guitarist, it will work with any instruments you might play. Sign up for my course today and improve your return with me today. 2. Little Intro: Before you start the course, I just want to say it would make me really happy if you could leave me a review. So I know how I have done with the course for you. Also, you'll see some assignments in the course if you decide to do them, I have a loop personally to each of the assignments and either give you a feedback. So I know how you have done. I hope you will enjoy this course and I'm really looking forward to see your reviews and assignments. 3. How to work with the metronome: At first, thank you so much for choosing my course. My name is Athena and either B or new instructor. Before we start the course, we need to learn how to clap. There are two ways to clap. One day just use are pumps. And the other way is to use the fingertips in one hand and the pond in the other hand. The other way around. It is your choice which one to use. But I prefer the second method because I can go so much faster with this one than this one. Now, let's have a look at our exercises. Less set or metronome to 60 BPM. And let's start it. Or first exercise will be just to clap with the beep. How do you know if you bet on time? If you couldn't hear the metronome beep venue, we're clapping. It means that you were on time. But if the metronome beat is somewhere in-between your clubs, you need to do few things to be more on time. One thing that you can do is to move your leg, did the beep. It will help you to fear that written much more because your whole body is moving with the return, or you can just move your feet. Now this is very common among musicians, and I'm pretty sure when you went to a gig, you could see that some people were moving the leg with the return because then it will help them to feel the whole music more and be more on time. Our second exercise via be clapping, two notes per beat. If you're clapping like this, it means that you are not on time because every class should be evenly distributed. So it does sound like this. Also, the second club needs to be exactly in the middle of two beeps, and it is also called the offbeat. The third exercise via be clapping, three notes per beat. Again, if you were clapping like this, it means that you are not on time because everything should be evenly distributed. Actually venue clip like this. It means that you are clapping for clubs per beat, but you are skipping the last beat. So it should sound more like this. That are wanting as well that you can do here to be more on time is to make accents. So you can clap, clap, clap. Then you add on the metronome beep and everything else is a little bit quieter, so it will sound like this. Exercise four, we'll be switching between two clips, peg B to three clubs per beat. Now, this can be very challenging at first, especially if you haven't done this before, because there is a fine difference between two clubs and three clubs per beat. So let's try to do this at 60 BPM at first, clapping tools and after switching to clapping streets, let's try to switch back. Good, right? Now, we are going to do an exercise. At first. We are going to do for two claps per beat and after for three clubs per beat. Bond. C. For now, we will do 22 clips per switching two to three claps, Bambi. Finally, I'm going to switch after every beep. It good to do these exercises and different BPMs. So I'm going to show you how it sounds. Then we do it at 80 BPM and then we do it at 40 bpm. Now the slower you go, the more challenging it forget. And at 40 BPM, even for me, this is quite hard. Exercise. Five will be clapping for notes per beat. Now you can do a few more things to be on time. And it helps if you can't, even before you start clapping. So now you can count for before you start clapping. One-two-three-four, one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four. One-two-three-four, one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four. You can also do the content with other atoms. So let's contains 312, 312-312-3123. That's counting 212 121-212-1111. Our final exercise will be to switch between these returns. So we're going to do for one clap for two clubs, for three clubs, 44 clubs per beat. And after we will bring it down to 32.1, It's good to practice the final exercise again at different BPMs. So go ahead and try it at 80 BPM and try it at 40 bpm as well. Now, let's move on to the music theory part of this treatment course. And also, let's have a look at some of our exercises. 4. Duration of Notes: This course is only concentrates on how to read return. So a lot of other aspects of reading music there'll be not included here, but all the rhythmic part of a music sheet will be included. And with this, you will be able to learn any return in any music sheet. So when you see a music sheet, then it will be divided by sections and they are called the bars. At the beginning of a music, you will see a number. This could be 3444, and this is called the time signature. And also the bars will be divided by beats as well. Now the beats can be the quarter note set to the quarter note or an eighth note. It depends on the time signature. We will go on to this later. Also, the tempo will be the top left of the corner, and this will indicate where you need to set your metronome to. This is the source of the music. Now, if we see four-four time signature, it means that our four beats in 1 bar and von beat equals to one quarter note. When it is 34, it means that there are three beats in Bombard and von beat equals to one quarter note. When you see a 68, it will mean there are six beats in 1 bar and von beat equal to one eighth note. If the time signature is 44, we can have the following nodes. We can have a whole note, which looks like a doughnut, so the middle is empty and there is no stem. And it lasts for the whole duration of the bar, or 24 quarter notes or four beats. We can also have a half note. Half-note is like an empty middle as well, but it has a stem. And it lasts for half a duration of a bag or two beats. Or we can have a quarter note. Quarter note last for a shorter duration of a bag or one beat. And we can also have an eighth note. Eighth note last for the duration of the bar, or it lasts for half a beat. To really understand how the music should sound or harder returns should sound, it is very important to learn the current music. Now, if the time signature is 44, it will mean that we need to count on. Therefore, it will be 1234. If the time signature is 34, then we will count on tier 3123. Now, we need to match or the accountings with nodes. So if we have an eighth note in or music, it will mean that we need to count with ends, because sometimes the eight nodes can be on the end as well. So in this case, at 44 Vivre can't like this. 1.2 and 3.4 and the 34, it will be like this one and 2.3. And you also need to count the same way from the beginning till the end. So don't skip any of the counting. And we are going to match all of these nodes with one of the counting. Now, let's do our first exercise via set or metronome to 50 BPM. And we are going to count and clap all of these nodes. 123 for 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. And finally, I would like to share with you the circle method. The circle method is really amazing to know that the beat exactly needs to be. And in this case, you just need to write down 1.2 and 3.4. And if the time signature is 44 and you just circle the nodes that they should occur. Now in the circle method, we can just change all of these nodes, two steps. So a whole note will be four steps. A half-note will be two steps. A quarter note will be one step, and an eighth note will be half a step. Now let's analyze one of the bars. And they have a note at the beginning of the bar than the oil. They start on one. So we circled one. Then it is a quarter note, which means we go one step. That means that on our next node via be on two. And it is a quarter note again. So we go one more step and the next note we'll be at three. At three, v will have a half-note, which is two steps, which means this we are finished. The bar. 5. Analyzing Exercise 1: 1.2 and 3.4, and the node starts at the beginning of the bar. So we circle one. It is a quarter note. So we go one step for vd to, to, to V naught, which lasts for two steps. So the go-to for, and these are two eighth notes. So the last two claps will be half steps, which means you this circle 4.4 and 1.2 and 3.4. And the nodes are again at the beginning of the bath. So we circa one, this is an eighth note, so we go half a step to one end and that we have a quarter note, which last for one step. So the next note will be at two. And this is an eight node, which last for half, half a step. So the next node, v LB at three, and this is a quarter note. So the next note will be at 41 step forward. And this is another quarter note which will finish the bar 1.2 and 3.4. The first node is at one, and this is an eight node. So we go half a step forward and the next note will be at one end. This is a quarter note, so we go one step forward at two and we have an other quarter note. So we go one step forward to x3, and this is another quarter note. And we go one step forward, 24. And, and that we have an eighth note, which we have finished the bar. Now, this one is a tiny bit harder because you need to clap on the offbeat of B. It means that you are in-between the beats. So it is a kind of practice to be exactly in the middle of two beats, 1.2 and 3.4. And the first node is a node. So we start at one and we go to two. That's an eight node. So we go half a step forward, 22.5 naught, which is two steps. So we go to four and that's an eighth note which we have finished the bar. 6. Analyzing Exercise 2: 1.2 and three, and they're not start at the beginning of the bar. So the circle one. And then we have a half-note, which is two steps. So the goal is to beat three, B3, we have to eight nodes. We go half a step to three, and that's three. And the last eight note, we're finished the bar one and 2.3, and the note starts at the beginning of the bar. So we circle around. This is an eighth note, which is half a step. So we move forward to one end. That's a hearth node. And it is two steps. We move forward to three and the last node is an eight node, which is half a step and that we have finished the bar. 1.2 and three do not start at the beginning of the bar, and it is an eighth notes, so we go half a step forward to one, and that's a quarter note, so we go to two and that's an other quarter note. So it's an other step to go to three. And the last node is an eight node, which we are finished. The bar. 7. Note Durations: 123400341234123412341234123412341 and 234. 8. Exercise 1 - Counting and Clapping: 13413412341234123412341234123412, 3424 9. Exercise 2 - Counting and Clapping: 1231231231 and do and see and do and history. And 123123 and run, DO, SEE and brown. And to earn streaming down, down and down and see and 10. The Dotted Note: Now we are at level two and level two, we will introduce a new type of note, and this will be a dotted note. Dotted means that a naught via be elongated to 1.5 times of the original duration. And in this level, we are introducing two different nodes. And one of them is a dotted half note and the other one is a dotted quarter note. A dotted half note equals to one half note and one-quarter naught, or three quarter notes. And it looks like, exactly like a half-note, except there is a.in the end, a dotted quarter note equals one quarter note at one eighth note together, or three eighth notes together. Now, a dotted quarter note can have some challenges because it finishes on the offbeat or it starts on the offbeat. But with the circle method, it will be very easy to figure out where it starts and where it ends or which beat you need to clap. Exactly. So let's have a look at the exercises and let's analyze some of the bars. 11. Analyzing Exercise 3: 1.2 and 3.4. And firstNode is a dotted quarter note, which lost for one and the half-steps. So we move to two, and that's an eight node, which last for half a step. So we go to B3, that is a quarter note, and a quarter note lasts for one step. So we go to beat four. And that's another quarter note which will finish the bottle, 1.2 and 3.4. And the first node is a dotted quarter note, which lost for one-and-a-half steps. So we move to 2AM, and that's another dotted quarter note. So we move again one-and-a-half steps to four, and that's a quarter note which we are finished the buyer, 1.2 and 3.4, and the first two notes at eight nodes. So we circa Yvonne legal half a step to one end, and we go another half a step to 2.2, we have a dotted half note, which lasts for three steps. Which means that this note we have finished the bar. 12. Analyzing Exercise 4: 1.2 and three. And the first node is an eighth note, which is half a step. And we go to one end. At one end, we have a quarter note, which is a four-step. We go to 2.2 and we have another eight naught, which is half a step. So we go to three. And the three, we have an quarter-note, which we have finished the bar one and 2.3. And the first node is a dotted quarter note, which is one and the half steps. So we go to, to end at two and we have a quarter note which lasts for one step. So we go to three and that's an eighth note, which last for half a step. And this we are finished the BR bond and 2.3. And the first note is a quarter note which lasts for one step, so we go to beat two. That's a dotted quarter note, which last for one-and-a-half steps. So we go to three and, and that's an eighth note which lasts for half a step. And this we have finished the bar. 13. Exercise 3 - Counting and Clapping: 1234123412341 and do and see and 412341234123412341, end do scaling and 41234123412341234. And 14. Exercise 4 - Counting and Clapping: 1231232312 and singing and bong and 2312312 by 3123123123123. And and 33. 15. Adding Triplets: Now we arrive to level three, and this time they are going to introduce the eighth note triplets. The eighth note triplets last for the duration of 28 nodes or one quarter note. But this time it will mean that we will have three notes per beat. Now, if you count them, there are two ways that you can go ahead and do it. One way is just to say triple, let, triple, let, triple, let triple, let. The second way is adding the number. And the numbers will represent the beats where they are at. And you just add triplet in the end. So it will be when the time signature is 441 triplet, triplet, triplet, triplet. And of course, when the time signature is 34, you can't on tier three only. Now it is your personal choice, which way you want to count them and which one you choose because both of them is right? And in this course, I'm going to count them in both ways. But at the beginning, I'm going to count them with the beats, more the bit numbers. Now, when you clap them, lots of people rushing the triplet, it means that they are doing the beats so fast and you have gaps between the beats and it just doesn't sound even. I show you what I mean. Now you could see that there was a gap between my clapping. It was more like the divers clapping for notes per beat, but I was skipping the last bit. If you have a gap and if you are not, even, it means that you really need to slow down the triplet. And if you slow down the triplet, then you will be more even between the beats. You can also practice this with the counting 33331 triplet, triplet, triplet, triplet. Now let's have a look at the exercises. 16. Analyzing Exercise 5: One triplet, 2.33 plus four, and the first three notes, or eighth note triplets. So we can't like one triplet. And we serve all of the counting and we go to beat two. This is a quarter note. So we go to B3. B3, we have an eighth note, triplet. So we can't like three triplet and circle all the counting and we will go to beat four. That's a quarter note which lasts for one beat and it finished the bar 1.2 and 3343. The first node is a dotted quarter note, which lasts for 1.5 steps. So we go to two, and that's an eighth note, which last for half a step. So we go to three. And at 3.4, we have two triplets. So we can't like three-three plot for triplet, darker or the counting and finish the bar, 1.2 and 33 plus four. And this part is great to practice. Lithium changes because it has three notes per beat, two notes per beat of beats. So it is great to improve your return. The bar starts with an eight node, so we go half a step to one end. At one end we have a quarter note, so we go a full step, 22.2, and we have another eight node. So we go half a step to beat three. And beat three, we have an eighth note, triplet. We count it as three triplet. We clap on oil counting and we go to beat for beat four. We have two eighth notes, so we go half a step each time to four, and then we will finish the bat. 17. Analyzing Exercise 6: 1.23 plus three and denote start at the beginning of the bar. So we circle one. This is a quarter note, so we go one step forward to beat too. This is an eighth note, triplet. So we can t-test to triplet and we circle or accounting, and we go to B3, that two eighth notes. So we go half a step each time, 23. And then we finished the bar, V13 plus 2.3, and the batch starts with an eighth note triplet. So we count it as one triplet. We circle or counting and we go to beat two. That's a dotted quarter note. So we go 1.5 steps, 23 and at three, and we have an eighth note, which we are finished, the bar 132.3. This bar is a great exercise because you can practice switching between three notes per beat to two notes per beat. And then you switch back to three notes per beat. Bar starts with an eighth note triplets, so we count it as one triplet. We circle the counting and we go to beat, to beat two. We have two eighth notes, so they go half a step each time to, to end, and then beat three. And beat three, we have an eighth note triplet again, so we can write it as three triplet, the circle or counting. And we finished the bar. 18. Exercise 5 - Counting and Clapping: 123413233 plus 41234123431234123, triplet poetry Blood Run and two ends, a and 412 and say 34123 and 43 blood do and see. And 41234123431234 and 19.

Font that Zui Ji blood fun 2323. 20. Duration of Rests: Now we arrive to level four and now we are going to introduce the rests. What are the rest? They are silences in the music. So it means van. You see arrest, there should be no clap and no music played during that time. Now, each node has an active or their interests as well. And they add the following. A whole rest is equivalent of the duration of a whole note, and it is signaled like this. A half rest is equivalent of a duration of a half note, and it is signaled like this. A quarter rest Is equivalent of the duration of a quarter note, and an eighth rest is equivalent of a duration of an eight node. Now the question is, what is a difference between a half note and a quarter note and the last? In clapping, there will be no difference. So when you count it, it will be like this, 1.2 and venue played. The difference will be that you need to stop the music via the rest is coming on. So it will be like this. And two and 1.2. And now let's have a look at some rest placement through all of these combined, asked that equal to 23 or four beats, but only if they fell onto the strong beat of the bar. Beat one is the strong beat of the bar in oil time signatures. But in for four it is bit B1 and B3. In four, it is bit b1 and b2 in 34, it is only bit fun. If arrest follows a node which lasts less than a beat, you need to finish the bit first. Now let's have a look at some examples. Our time signature is 24. We have an eighth note, a quarter rest, and another eight node. Now this cannot be possible because we need to finish the beat first. The correct version will be here that we have an eighth note. We have an eighth trust, which we have finished the first bit, and then they have another eight rest, which will start up the next bit. In our next example, we have a quarter note and the highest forest. Now this is wrong because a half rest in three-four can only start on beat one. So the correct version would be that you have a quarter note and after you have to have assets. What about the dotted rests? Dotted rests have the same rules like the dotted notes. The last four one-and-a-half times of the original measure adopted half rest, last for three quarter rest, or one-half rest and one-quarter best. It can only be used in beat one in 34.44 times signature. Now let's have a look at an example. In this example, or time signature is for four, we have a quarter note and the breasts. Now, this is wrong because the dotted half rest can only start on beat fund. The correct version, there'll be two and a quarter rest and a half rest to replace a dotted rests. Dotted quarter rest last for a duration of three, a trust or the duration of one quarter rest and won a trust. Now, distressed cannot be used in 34.44 times signature because it starts in the middle of the beat and goes over to the next bit. At first, we need to finish the beat to go over to the next bit, or it will start on the first beat, but then it goes over and finishes in the middle of the next bit. So we need to replace it with other arrests. Now, let's do an exercise on this. Our time signature is 34. We have a dotted quarter note and the dotted quarter rest. Now let's replace the dotted quarter rest with other risks. Because the dotted quarter note lasts for 1.5 steps. It means that we need to start at two and we need to add an eight tries to finish B2. And after a beat three, the odd a quarter rest. Now let's have a look at another version. We start the bath with a dotted quarter rest and the second half of the bar, it's a dotted quarter note. Now, at first, we need to finish bit fun, so we add a quarter rest and after the eighth trust, and then we can start or dotted quarter note. 21. Analyzing Exercise 7: 1.2 and 3.4. And the bar starts with 38 nodes, which means that we go half a step each time. We start on one, they go to one and from one and we go to beat two. From two, we go to 2.2 and we have an, a trust. So they go half a step without clapping to beat three. That's another eight. So we go another half a step to three and at three, and we have a dotted quarter note, which we have finished the bar, 1.2 and 3.4, and the bar starts with a quarter rest. It means we are going to count it, but we're not going to clap it. We go one step forward to beat two. And then B2, we have an eighth note. We go half a step forward too, to end at two and we have a quarter note. So we go to three and at three and we have an, a trust, so we go to four. And at four we have two eighth notes. So we go half a step each. 24 and, and after it finished, the bar, 1.2 and 3.4 by eight will be a little bit trickier because first time the audit arrest within a triplet. So you can practice clapping it on a way that you can't the triplet. And then you will have not going to clap on the first codon thing. So it will be like this or triplet, triplet, triplet with the clapping. 43434343. We start the bath with a quarter rests, so we go one step forward to beat, to beat two. We have an, a trust, so we go half a step forward too to end at two and we have an eighth note. So we go half a step forward to beat three. And beat three, they have a quarter note, so we go one step forward to beat for. Beat four is an eighth note triplet, but with the rest in the first counting. So we can t-test for triplet, but we do not clap on the first content, so it will be 44. We saw the triplet part of the counting and they finished the BR bond three plus two and 3.4. And again we have some challenges and Bart 12, because we have now a triplet, but the third part of the triplet is arrest. So again, you need to practice counting and only clapping in the two, first two parts of the triplet, triplet, triplet, triplet, triplet, triplet, one on Platt. And the first time we count it as one triplet, the circa, the Vaughn and the part. And we move to beat two. That is a trust there. So we go half a step forward too to end. And that's a quarter note. And it means that we go one step forward, 23, and that's an eighth note. We go half a step forward to beat four. And that's another quarter note which we're finished. The bar. 22. Analyzing Exercise 8: 1.2 triplet three, and we start the bar with a quarter note. So we go one step forward to beat, to beat two, we have an eighth note triplet, but with the rest in the third part. So we can t-test to triplet, but we don't clap on the last part, so it will be like this triplet. Triplet. We move to beat three. And beat three. We have eight nodes. We go half a step each time, 23, and then finish the bar, one and 2.3. And the bar starts with an a trust. So we go to one end. That's a dotted quarter note. So we go one-and-a-half steps to beat three. And beat three, we have an eighth rest. Again. We go half a step to three. And the last node is an eighth note, which we have finished the bar one and 2.3, and we started above it and a trust. So we go half a step without collecting to one end. At one end we have an eighth note. So we go to beat, to beat two. We have a cartel. So we go to B3. B3, we have another quarter rest, which will finish the bar. 23. Exercise 7 - Counting and Clapping: 1.2 and 3.4 and 1.2 and 3.4 and 1.2 triplets, 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1. And 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 triplet 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 triplet 1 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 triplet two and 3.4 and 24. Exercise 8 - Counting and Clapping: 1 and 2 and 3, and 1 and 2 and 3 and 1, 3, 2 and 3, 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 triplets, 3 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2, 3 plus 3.1 and 2.3 and 1.2 and 3.1 and 2.3. And 25. Adding 16th Notes: Now we arrive to lever five and we're going to introduce the 16th notes. 16th notes last for half of a duration of an eighth note or quarter of a beat. When two or more 60 nodes tend together, they are connected with two lines on the top. When they stand alone, they have to flux because they last for quarter of a beat. Or counting needs to change because we need to match all of the clubs with some kind of counting. When the time signature is for four or counting the a change to this 1.2 and 3.4 E. And now we introduced two new counting, and this is the E and the a. A 16th note has a 16 rest as well. And they look like this. And of course the last four quarter of a beat. Now let's have a look at some rest placement through. The rest placement through are quite similar like the previous ones. So an eighth rest can only start at the beginning or in the middle of the beat. It cannot start in one-quarter or three-quarters of a beat. Now let's have a look at some examples. Our time signature is 24, and we have a 16th note and a trust and another 60 naught. And this is wrong because an, a trash can only start in the beginning of the beat or in the middle of the beat. So we need to correct it. And the core action will be to 16 trust in the middle. Second example, we have two 16th notes and to 16th rest. Now this is wrong because than the rest starts in the middle of the beat, we need to combine it so the correct version via beam to 16th notes and won a trust. The third example, we have 216 trusts and to 16th notes. And this is wrong because we need to combine it because it starts in the beginning of the beat. So the correct version, there'd be a trust and to 16th notes. 26. Analyzing Exercise 9: Bond and two, E and E n. For n. In bar three, we added the rest to each of the beat. And basically what you need to do that you can't with the new counting and you will replace the rest where they are as a location. The first 16 trust is in one a, the second one is in two, and the third one is in Three E. And the fourth one is a bit for. So you just can't like this. And after you just replace the rest on a way that you don't clap. So one E and the E, and 4.132 and 3.4 E and a. The bar starts with an eighth note triplet. So we count it as one triplet, the club in oil counting and we move to beat, to beat two. We have two eighth notes. So we go half a step each time to do, and then beat three. And beat three, we have four 16th notes. So we clap in accounting and move to beat for beat four, we have a quarter note which lasts for one bit or one step. And it will finished the bar 1.2 and 3.4. And we start the bar with 16 trusts, so we go to one aim. At one ie, we have a 16th notes, so we go to one and at one end we have 16 trusts. So we go step one, aim. At one a, we have a 16th note again, so we go to beat, to beat two. We have a quarter note which is one step. So we go to B3, we have to 16th notes, so we go carter steps each time, 23.3 and at three and we have eight naught, which is half a step. So we go to beat for beat four. We have an eighth rest, so we go to four and at four and we have a 16th note. So we go Carter, step two for a, for a, we have a 16th trust which will finish the bat. 27. Analyzing Exercise 10: Von e, m dot a2, and a3. And the buyer starts with an a trust. So we go half a step to one end. At one end we have a quarter note, so we go a full step to end at two, and we have to 16th notes. So we go Carter step each time, two to a and beat three. And beat three, we have a 16th rests. We go another quarter step to three e at three EV of a 16th note. So we go a quarter step 23 and at three, and we have an eight node, which we are finished the bad one, and 2.3. And we start the bag with the 16th trust. So we go further step to one ie. At one ie, we have three 16th notes before we go to the next bit. Which means we go quarter steps each time, 21.1 and then beat to beat two, we have another 16 node. So we go to two, e to e we have a 16th trust, so we go to two and at two, and that's an eighth note. So we go to beat three and beat three, we have another 28 nodes, so we go to three and then finished the bat one and 2.3. And at birth verve, we replaced with 16 rest, some of the 16th notes and beat one. We replaced one. So basically you count it as one, e and 0, but you do not clap on one. Beat two. We replaced two 0s and two. And so you can detest e. And in the last beat, V replaced three. So this will be three. 28. Exercise 9 - Counting and Clapping: 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 3 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 3 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 triplet 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. 1 and 2 and 3 triplet or E and 132.3 and 4.1, E and E and three, E and E and E and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1, 3, 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 E and 29. Exercise 10 - Counting and Clapping: 1.2 and 3.1, 32.1, E and E and E and 1 and 2 and 3, 3 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 and 3. And An E to E and E and 1.233 and 1.2, E and E and E and 2.3 and 1.2 and 3.3. And 30. Dotted Eighth Notes and Rests: Navy arrived to level six and we're going to introduce the dotted eighth notes and the dotted eighth rest. A dotted eighth note lasts for three quarters of a beat or a duration of three 16th notes. They have a dot and the line on the top. And the dotted eighth rest last for the same duration. So three-quarters of a beat or a duration of three-sixteenth trust. And it looks like this adopted. A trust can only be used when it starts in the beginning of the beat or it finishes of the beat, it cannot go over the beat. Now let's do an exercise with this one. Our time signature is 34, and let's combine the 16th trusts and a trust where you can. Now in the solution, as you can see, first time you couldn't combine it because at first you need to finish the beat and that was 116 trust. And after you need to start the beat, and that's an a trust or a door. In the end. You can add a dotted eighth trust because it will finished the third beat. In B2. The solution will be quite similar. So you can add the dotted eighth rest at the very beginning of the beat. And then you can finish it within a 16th note in the second beat. Or though you cannot add it, because in the second beat you need to finish the bit first. So it has to 16th notes and you finish it with one, a trust, and you start the third beat with one-sixteenth trust. 31. Analyzing Exercise 11: 1.3, 3.4 E. And the bash start with two 16th notes or 16th trust and another 16 node. We go Carter step each time we start on one, and then we go to one E, and then we go to one end. At one end, that's where we have the 16th trust. So we're not going to club and we go to one. Then we move to beat, to beat two. We have an eighth note, triplet, we count it as triplet. We clap on our accounting and we move to beat three. And beat three, we have a dotted quarter note, so we go 1.5 steps to beat four and at four and we have to 16th notes, so we go quarters step each two for a. And then we finished the bar, 1.2 and 3.4. The bar starts with a dotted eighth. Rest of it goes three-quarters of a step to one. At one a, we have a 16th note, so we go step to beat, to beat two. We have a dotted quarter note, so we go one and the half steps, 23 and at three and we have an eighth note, so we go half a step to beat for beat four, we have an eighth rest. We go another half a step to four. And that four, and we have an eighth note, which we are finished the bar, 1.2 and 3.4 E, and we start with a 16th trust. So we go quarter of a beat to 1e1e, we have an eighth notes, so we go half a beat, 21a1 a, we have another eight node. So we go to two e at 2f0, we have a 16th trust. So we go to two and then a two and we have an eight node, so we go half step to B three, B3, we have to 16th notes. So we go step each time, 23 0s and three, and at three and we have an eighth note, so we go half a step to beat for beat four, we have an eighth rest, so we go to four and that four and we have an eighth note, which we'll finish the bar. 32. Analyzing Exercise 12: 12.3 E, and the bar starts with a 16th note. So we go Carter step 21e at one e v have a quarter note, so we go a fourth step to E, a to E, we have an eighth note, so we go half a step to, to a, to a 16th notes. So we go step to beat three and beat three, we have eight rest. So we go half a step to three and at three, and we have an eighth note, which we are finished, bar m dot a2, and a3. We start with a 16th notes, so we go Step 21e at one ie we have a dotted eighth note, so we go three-quarters step to beat, to beat, to start with a 16th trusts. So we go to two E, and then we have three 16th notes. So we will clap on through to E, to end and to a. And then we go to beat three. And beat three, we have an eighth note, so they go to three and we have two more 16th notes. So with the club on the three a as well. And then we will finish the bar, One E N, N E. And the bar starts with a dotted eighth note. So we go three-quarters of a step to one. At one a, we have a 16th note, so we go to beat, to beat two. We have two 16th notes or 16th trust and another 16 node. So we go to E and then to end at two, and that's where we have the rest. So we go without clapping too too. And that's another 16th notes. So we go another quarter step to beat three. Beat three, we have an eighth note, so we go half a step to three and at three and we have an eighth rest which will finish the bar. 33. Exercise 11 - Counting and Clapping: 1.2 and 3.4. And e, e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e. And 2, 3 and 4 and 1. And 3 and 4 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 2 3 and 4, and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1, 2 3, 4 and 2 and 3 and 4. 34. Exercise 12 - Counting and Clapping: 1 and 2 and 3. And 1, and 2 and 3. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2 and 3. And 2. And 3 and 1 and 2. And 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 and 3 on E and an E and a 33,312.3 e1e to the e n. 35. Adding 16th Note Triplets: We arrived at the final level of our course. And this time we are going to introduce the 16th triplets. A 16th triplet loss for a duration of 216 nodes or half a beat. And this will also mean that it will be six notes per beat when we put 216 triplets together. Now let's see how does it sound if or metronome is at 40 bpm, 123-45-6123, 456-12-3456. Because this is a triplet, the accounting has to change and it will be three pallet this time. Now, if they are together with other nodes, the triplet going to replace the regular counting. It Ada replace the end of the regular counting or the beginning of the regular counting. When it replacing the end, it will be like this. One, E three Paulette, one E triple that. If it is replacing the beginning, it will be like this. Three Paulette and three Paulette and exercise one on each triplet, triplet, triplet, exercise to triplet, triplet, triplet and three Paulette. And now the best is to practice discounting and these exercises on a way that you put your metronome to 80 BPM, which is exactly the same speed as 40 BPM. But now we will be on the eighth node. So it will be easier to know vanity three notes per beat and two notes per beat. 121 231-212-3121. 231e triple at one E three polar exercise. 2, 1 2 3, 1 2, 1 2 3, 1 2, 1 2 3, 1 2, 3 and 3 pilot. And if you practice at 80 BPM, it just means that you will have more beeps. So after that, it will be easier when you go back to 40 BPM and practice both of these counting. 36. Analyzing Exercise 13: Von E to E flat C, E. And for the bar starts with an a trust. So we go half a step to one end. At one end we have a quarter note, so we go a full step, 22.2 and we have a 16th triplet. So we change or counting to three palette. So it will be two E, three palate, and then the clap or the counting and go to beat three. And beat three, we have an eight node, so we go half a step, 23 and at three, and we have to 16th notes. So we go Step 23 a, and after to beat for beat four, we have an a trust. So they go half a step to 4.4 and we have a 16th note, so we go quarter step two. For a. For a we have a 16th trust, which will finish the bat. Triple, let, triple, let triple or three. E for the bar starts with an eighth note, triplet. So we count it as triple-A, but it will be only three clubs per beat. And after we go to beat two and b2, we have to 16th note triplets. So we can't as triple-A three polar, but we can't six notes per beat and we go to beat three. And beat three via have an eighth note. So we go hard for step 23 and at three, and we have a quarter note, so we go a fourth step to four and that four, and we have an eighth note which will finish the bad. Now at this bar, it's quite challenging because you need to switch counting three notes per beat to six notes per beat. It can take a, quite a lot of practice to be really on time. So it's good to practice it with the metronome 123-123-4561, 231, 234-563-3333, polar three polar triple, let triple, let triple, let triple, let triple at the border. Bar seven, we will do the same counting all the way. So it will be all three products, although it will be if we break it down, six notes per beat, 23 nodes backbeat. And again, six notes per beat, 23 notes per beat. So again, you can practice the counting with the metronome 123-45-6123, 1234, 5612, 3333, 3343. One E and E and the people at the bar starts with an eight node. So we go half a step to one end. At one end we have to 16 nodes. So we go quarter step each time to one a and then beat to beat two, we have an eighth note, so Vigo half a step to, to end at two, and we have a 16 trust. So we go to a, a to J, we have 16 nodes, so we go to B3 and B3, we have to 16th notes. So we go to three E, and then go to three and at three and we have an eighth note, so we go half a step to beat. For beat four, we have a 16th note triplets, so we change or counting to three pilot. And we kept all the counting and we go to 4.4 and we have an eighth note which will finish the bar. 37. Analyzing Exercise 14: For the bullet, bullet c, e. And this time it will be a little bit of a challenge. And the clapping, because it will be three notes per beat, six notes per beat, and two notes per beat. So you can practice the counting with the metronome 123-12-3456, 121 231-234-5612. Bar starts with an eighth note triplets, so we can't eat stripped folate. We circle or the counting and we move to beat two. And again we will have two triplets, but they are 16th note triplets. So it will be six notes per beat, but the content will be the same, so it will be triplet, triplet. We clap on our accounting and the move to beat three. And beat three, we have two eighth notes, so we go half a step each time, 23, and then we will finish the bar. One. And 2.3 by starts with two 16th notes. So we go step each time, 21e, and then one end. At one end, we have an eighth note, so we go half a step to beat, to beat two, we have another eight nodes. We go another half a step to, to end at two and we have to 16th notes. So we go quarter step each time, two to a, and then beat three. Beat three. We have an eight node, so we go half a step to three. And at three and we have a 16th trust, so we go Step 23 at three. 16th note, which we have finished the bar. Paulette and 2.3 people at. The bar starts with a 16th note triplet. We count it as three pallet. And this will be three nodes per half a beat. And then we move to one, and at one end we have an eighth note, so we go half a step to beat two. And beat two, we have two 16th notes, so we go quarter step each time, two to e and then to end at two, and we have an eighth note, so we go half a step to beat three. And beat three, we have an eighth note triplet. We count it as three prologue, but this time it will be three notes per beat. And then we were finished, the bar, gone, E and E, and three polar to polar. The bar starts with 16th notes, so we go quarter step 21e at one, ie, we have a 16th trust, so we go without clapping to one, and at one end we have to 16th notes. So we go quarter step each time to bond a and then beat to beat two. We have two eighth notes, so we go half a step each time to two and then beat three. And beat three, we have to 16th note triplets. We count it as triplet, triplet the club six notes per beat, and we will finish the bar. 38. Exercise 13 - Counting and Clapping: 1.2 and 3.4, and 123, and 4.1 E and D, E and three. And 4.3 polar and polar. And 3.4 and 1.23 polar three. For a triple, let triple, let, triple, let 3.4 and 1.2 and 3.4.

The triple-A three polar. 43. Song for Level 4: Okay. 47. Applying Rhythms to Flamenco Guitar: Because so many of you requested this, I decided to make you one more video for this course. And in this video, I'm going to apply all of these three terms that you learned in flamenco guitar. And I'm going to look at two different file setup. Or it's like means that it's one round in flamenco guitar and four bar usually. And then I'm going to clip these three terms for you and I'm going to teach you how you can play this. And after this lesson you can learn something like this or something like this. The first exercise will be tangles, and I chose this type of Flamenco because there are so many little changes between songs and it sounds really amazing. And it is actually in 44, which is not so common, because a lot of flamenco is in 12, but this one is in four for that first, I'm going to show you how you can clap and read this kind of freedom. And after we are going to learn the technique as well. So let's see how you can read this written bond E triple that 0, e e and e and e, e, e, e, e e, e and e and 1.2 and 3.4. And now let's do this with the metronome. And I'm only going to do the last 2 bar because the first 3 bar are exactly the same. My metronome is on 80 BPM and I set it to eight nodes, so it's easier to follow it. Eat the pollex 3.4 and 1.2 and 3.4. And let's do it without counting. Now, every bar will be a different chord, and the first-quarter will be like an open B flat major. And after we have C7, B-flat major, and a major. Now let's have a look at the technique. So at first, when you see a square, it means that you need to add the carpet and they undergo a pay with the ring finger. It is just a little tap with the ring finger. And then the technique can be done in two different ways. At first, we are going to do it with the four stroke Kresge adores. So it means it will be little being middle index. Then you do the counting. It is 1234, that's 3.4. Great. Now let's have a look at the last bar. Then. In the last bar, we will do like a GoPay, but at the same time you need to go down with it is a little bit hard at first because you need to do like an opposite movement. So you add like a flick and then you tap 1.2 and 3.4 E. And here we have a three stroke crack ghetto as well, because it starts on the two E and then on the street it's finishing. So it's 2.3 E and being neither index two and C E and 1.2 and 3.4 E. And let's do the same thing with our metronome. This was, or bass technique. And now let's do the same thing with some courts. And after, Let's try to speed this up. Also, it's good to know that you can do the four structures in a different way as well. You can do it on a way that you go up with your index finger and you do as three structures, the Adobe to zinc, middle index or one to 41234. Now let's move on for the solar return. And I'm going to demonstrate to you first, but you can learn and after we then look at how you can club this and how you can play this. Okay, so at first I'm going to list again the return and they are going to learn how you can club this 12 and 3.3, Paula, Paula, E and C and E and E three polar. Now, this is a really good exercise because you can practice the clapping and the changing between the 3s and the tools. So I'm going to set my metronome up again on 80 BPM and I'm going to clap and can't return for you three polar, polar to E and three E and E and C, E and three polar and 2.3 polar and E to E and E. So you can practice clapping the 2s and the 3s and switching between them. You need to be quite good with the clapping before you can go on and do this written on your guitar. Again, we are going to change chords in the bass. So at first we are going to do like if F major seven. So it is like an F, but you have like an open E. And then we have a C major and all my C Major, F major seven. And then we have, in the end, the solar ending on the E major. We are going to use a technique in the first 3 bar, which is like a triplet in the flamenco, which means that you go down with these two fingers, so middle and ring. You don't move the hand. And after you do a turn with the thump and you go turn back. So that will be the triplet that you need to switch to a Dan of movement than it is just done or the fingers and thumb because it will actually pull that down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down. And then in the end, the solar ending VRB. And then you go to the triplet, then you use your ring middle index. So you cannot pay if you want to on the B string and why you go down with the tongue. So it's like Tom now, a heap as well. And the last node is with the index. So up, up, up, down, down, up. 48. Outro : Congratulations for finishing this course.
