Mar 29, 2016 at 19:29 comment added Нет войне @ToddWilcox haha, I've always admired the delicate syncopation in those Latin rhythms... but maybe it comes from no-one knowing where they are!
Mar 29, 2016 at 17:05 comment added BobRodes Again, listen for that loud drum note. It happens on four. Once you get that, start counting from there.
Mar 29, 2016 at 16:11 comment added Foxcat385 @BobRodes The problem is that I'm a ♪ off so my one-two-three-four will also be off. What should I do now?
Mar 29, 2016 at 12:23 comment added Todd Wilcox @topomorto Mostly good advice, although I learned recently to my shock and dismay that in some cases dancers have a different "one" from musicians for the same rhythm! I was researching the cha-cha, which most dancers will count, "one, two, cha-cha-cha" while the musican would count the same beats "two, three, four-and-one".

Mar 29, 2016 at 7:09 comment added Tetsujin A method I've used in the past is to get the track into a DAW, manually make a click track from the part where I do understand the timing [usually after the drums come in, or similar obvious cue] then slide it back until I've set up a 4-click into & through the difficult bit - usually the intro. Listening to that version for a while, I can then pick up the timing better if I ever hear it without my click. Eventually it just sinks in.
Mar 29, 2016 at 6:57 comment added Tim The Beatles' 'She's a Woman' used to do that to me. Then I realised that the intro is all off beat chords, which initially sound like they're on the beat.
Mar 29, 2016 at 5:59 comment added BobRodes In the first one, you will notice that the 4th beat is accented in the drums, especially in the passage you mention starting at 1:01. Try counting one-two-three-FOUR-one-two-three-FOUR and see if that helps.
Mar 28, 2016 at 23:46 comment added Todd Wilcox I don't think you'll be able to retrain your brain in only three hours. You might have to go through that process every day for weeks or months.
Mar 28, 2016 at 23:17 comment added Foxcat385 Yeah, just after I asked the question, but I still hear it the same.
Mar 28, 2016 at 20:21 comment added Todd Wilcox Have you tried learning to play the parts in question and counting out loud with the correct meter while you play?
