haha, as a guitar and drum player, It’s a habit to tap my food to bass drum beats in the car while listening to my iPod.

I am curious. how do you tap do a blues rhytm?
That always feels awkward to me…

“it’s a good thing to do when you are in a band or playing with yourself.” lol
srry couldn’t resist. great job btw
I’m not sure if I …
I’m not sure if I answer your question properly but here it goes:
Let’s say a song has 60 (Beats per minute)
If you were to tap your foot to the rythm of that song, it means you tap your foot 60 times per minute, with the same amount of time between each tap. So in this case you tap your foot, wait 1/60 of a minute (in this case 1 second) and then tap again. Now u shouldn’t have to calculate the time gap between taps, but when u hear music, U should be able to feel the ‘beat’ or rythm.
GL!

awesome fail

I can think of bunch of my friends that play guitar but have absolutley no rythmn at all.

Ive spent years in band class tapping with my right foot while playing trumpet. Changing that for guitar becomes very awkward.
Most songs are in 4 …
Most songs are in 4/4 time. That means that there are 4 beats to a bar. You tap your foot on every quarter. So every 4 taps you do is equal to one bar. So, if you’re strumming eighth notes, you would tap you foot on each down stroke.
I agree with your …
I agree with your comment around 40 seconds Justin. When playing with yourself a good sense of rythmn is absoloutely crucial.
Hi Justin,
I’ve …
Hi Justin,
I’ve some trouble with keeping rythm simply because I don’t know how it works!
I’m a bit confused. Every song to my knowledge has different rythm, in this exercise am I suppose to ‘feel’ the rythm out with my foot?
nice NIKE’S!!!
nice NIKE’S!!!
What I do is cross …
What I do is cross my left leg over my right (lady-style) and hold rest the guitar on it, which allows me to hold it closer to my body, so I can still tap my right foot and it there’s a lot less movement. I dunno if I’m just weird or something
duh you noodle, im …
duh you noodle, im a justin enthusiast and have watched the video on his maton court jester, but i dont remember it having a pickgaurd and i think it is darker in this, so im thinking he got a repaint because he said he had damaged the paintjob in the video

As the two above …
As the two above said: it’s important to have a right feeling of the beat of the song (tapping the foot is good for that) to be able to play the syncopation _correctly_ on the guitar. I can’t imagine myself playing funky 16th pattern without tapping.Or in other words, when I don’t do it, what I play is much more wrong.
(sorry for the …
(sorry for the disappointment, I’m not Justin)
no, the guitar is a Maton custom made with two different woods for the sides and back. Check out on the website of Maton.
Teaching how to tap …
Teaching how to tap the feet may sound weird, but as you said: It’s really important and it helps you, especially when playing with others!
