This is an older thread, but I was wondering if there are any new ideas on the board about it.
As far as rhythms, I have made one that I have been using a lot recently. If 8ths are - , dotted 8ths are -' and 16ths are . here is the rhythm.
4/4 -.. -- -'. ....
I use this for passages with many notes, going back and fourth (or just over and over again). The reason I like this is that it is uneven to most patterns and every time you repeat it you are playing the pattern differently. You don't have to stop and start and new rhythm, just keep looping and every note gets a different place in the rhythm. Also, it has slow and fast notes in succession. On the off chance that the passage has the same number of notes as the pattern, the rhythm won't change, so I play it like this (quarter notes are _ ).
4/4 -.. -- _ ....
Another idea I am thinking about. If you are working on long technical passages, do you think it is more profitable to practice small sections up to speed and put them together later, or to practice the entire passage slowly and get the entire passage up to speed as one complete unit?
