How to get great timing? – Y.S. Bach view

“It’s easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself.”Johann Sebastian Bach
Yep, timing is everything.  The right note played at the wrong time is the wrong note.  So how do we get a great sense of timing? By always playing with great, inspiration rhythm tracks like Song Rhythm Tracks.  You will internalise the timing on so many levels from the swing within the bar to musical structure of the song.  Without trying you will listen and learn from great rhythm artists.  You can do much the same playing along with artists recordings except you'll have to make sure you don't get in their way! #GettingIntoTh

“Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.” – Edgar Winter view

Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together. – Edgar Winter
When musicians come together they want to listen to each other, to each others music, phrasing, dynamics, micro-rhythms.  You want to listen to your fellow musicians.  To be fully focussed on it.  You don't want to be listening to a click-track or counting in your head.  My suggestion, if you don't have a drummer, use the same Song Rhythm Tracks in private practice and when you jam.  That'll free up your concentration for listening. #GettingIntoTheGroove #practicing with #SongRhythmTracks at alivedrumming.com
