[Harp-L] Re: Trouble with timing

[Rick Leonard <janrick7@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll jump in on this thread before it dies. My main gig is playing bass so my timing has to be there. Here''s what I do. I'll get out a book of written bass lines, usually jazz, set the metronome to click on quarter notes. When I get familiar with the line I'll set the metronome to click on 2 and 4 and play it. It seems to give a natural swing to the music. It's a big help for my timing and feel.
