Most people think that in order to play with great time, you just need to practice to a metronome more. But the truth is that great timing is ultimately found somewhere else.
If you’re playing with a band and you’ve struggled with rushing, dragging, and always being afraid that you’re speeding up and ruining the song… then today’s lesson is for you.
