RE: Counting time on foot

I like metronomes, but also in conjunction with the good ol' foot-tap, breaking the phrase up into what is played on the down-tap and what is played on the up-stroke.

Take a phrase, break it into individual beats, play it very slowly, even if it's one beat at a time, considering what's played on the down- and upbeats. You'll be surprised at how quickly the patterns stick, and you'll play the rhythym without thinking next time.
