How can I teach a student who seems to have no rhythm? very nice answer. A steady beat does wonders, even for musicians with more experience. There's nothing like clapping LOUD - the metronome is too discreet! |

Power chord: Can the lower fifth be used? for what is worth, this kind of inversion is my preferred way of playing the opening riff from “Smoke on the Water”. I wouldn't have it any other way. |
