Hi Everyone,

In this lesson we explore the difference between swing & straight rhythms using some funny weird recording software. I help you understand the difference AND help you practice strumming in swing and straight rhythm. Its pretty fun!

Post your questions, recordings, etc at the community forum. 

Download each BPM track separately or download the "swing beats.zip" file for the whole set in one folder.

Good explanation. BTW ....is that a clarinet in the wild (window sitting )? I hear Benny Goodman "swinging"!

Great illustration of the difference between swing and straight rhythm! Inventive use of voice counting, too! Give me that old time swing any day! I like the tiredness and weariness of it. Could it be that, say, Bob Dylan has swung all his early music now?
