Been spending so much time learning the lead break to the new songs that I've ignored an important aspect of my playing. I got a hint when in the last class I struggled to keep time (hiding in the circle no less).
So, I got out the metronome this week and checked myself at various speeds just playing straight forward rolls with some easy chord changes. When I started I could not play 2 measures without speeding up and finishing the roll 1 note ahead of the last beat, (in 2 measures).
I challenge everyone reading this to reply with their results.
How many measures of straight 8 note rolls can you play without gaining or loosing a note?
No cheating!
