Help Anyone!
I get confused on how to actually count the Rhythm 1 for the Blues in Micro lesson 057 . First measure I am counting like this: “1, 2e&,3&,4 rest” , basically I am counting the first hammer on like “2e” and the subsequent low g note on the ‘and’ of 2. Second measure , no sweat here! Third measure I am counting as follows: ‘1, 2e&, 3e&, 4 rest’. Then the 7th measure as follows: ‘1&, 2e rest, 3&,4 rest’
What it boils down to, is basically, ” How do you count the hammer on for the G7?” To me it looks like notation for 2 eighth notes but I need three sounds. So I am striking the chord on ‘2’, hammering on the forth fret on ‘e’ then down pick the low g on the ‘and’ of 2. For the second G7 hammer on in measures 3 & 5, I am up picking the high g on the ‘and’ of 3, so sort of makes sense there.
Sorry to be so anal about this, but my timing always lags my ability to change chords etc… To me it sounds worse if I strike the correct note out of time then striking the wrong note in time.
So any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
John Kaineg
