#103 - Odd Meters, Slapping And Thumping!
🕑 Added 2020-07-28 07:00:02 +0000 UTCTime for the first lesson this week! Since you voted for 'Working With Odd Meters' on the wishlist for this month, I want to show you my approach for composing and playing in 5/8 and 7/8 while also discussing some interesting techniques like slapping and thumping :)
How do you count odd meters correctly? How do you come up with odd meter material naturally? How do you keep time effectively in this challenging musical environment? If you ever asked yourself questions like that, you will like this lesson a lot :)

I'd love to do a follow-up video about this, I'll suggest it on the next voting! :)

Sweet Vid! I struggle to slap some of the lower strings (A or D) underneath the low E, without hitting the strings around it. Any tips?
Moooooooooooooooooore slapping

You keep making the content more interesting and challenging, week on week, you have made my guitar playing improve no end, even though I am just getting the hang of it after 30 years, but I didn't give up. Thanks Bernth for giving me the fresh boost that I needed.
man, you deserve more subs. Your content is extremely high quality stuff

Thank you very much for the kind feedback! This was also new and challenging for me, I'm really not a master when it comes to this playing style (thump/slap) - but it's important to exit the comfort zone often and recording these videos is a perfect way of doing that in a constructive and hopefully helpful way :)

This is another good one! I can't wait to break out my 7 string and work on this!

Yesterday I encountered the Same issue, however not so complicated. I'm learning the Adrian Smith solo from the prisoner... It has these triads but need to be played in 4/4 although it sounds like triplets, confuses the Hell out of me 😳
Wtfffff I love and hate your lessons.....youre lessons are amazing and are probably the best laid out teaching videos.....but everytime you put them out, I realize how much more I need to learn. I dont know how the hell you've managed to get as good at so many techniques is crazy. And then out of nowhere you pop out with another technique. Unless you're 100 plus years old....... apparently I need to practice ALOT more lol
