RE: Timing/counting/rhythm

I have to agree with Milton' posting. Even the pros listen to recorded music (especially classical) to get the feel of it and to understand the different interpretations of it from other major orchestras. This is a tried and true method of thoroughly studying specific pieces of music. I personally have used this to quickly grasp the concepts of phrasing and rhythm in popular music for live playing later. I find it absolutely amazing how well I can play "The Entertainer" or the "Star Wars I:Cantina" song based on ear only, using the written music as a guide. So, put together all of the helpful hints listed in these postings and assemble a good set of winning strategies for learning how to get timing/counting into a musical and usually much more fun rhythm.

Most of all, relax and enjoy the music. When it's serious work, I can't seem to break through very quickly. However, when it's fun, it's amazing how quickly I can "get it".
