Being able to count will help you advance a lot faster as a player. To help you on your way we give to you 8th note and 16th note combinations.<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let\u2019s be honest. When you\u2019re up on stage playing to the masses does counting rhythm patterns really run through your mind. Well if you\u2019re playing in a band that does technical prog-rock stuff like Dreamtheater, you probably would but for the rest of us the answer would be no.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So you\u2019d have to ask yourself the question what is the point?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being able to count rhythm patterns helps you in three key areas regardless of the level of playing ability you are at.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first key area is <strong>LEARNING<\/strong>. Being able to count will drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to learn something. Be it a ripping guitar riff or perhaps a strumming pattern, you will ensure that you properly execute the rhythm of the phrase each time. This is imperative when committing something to memory because the only way for you to really nail something is repetition and more importantly correct repetition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second key area where counting rhythm patterns helps you, is when <strong>READING &amp; WRITING<\/strong> music. Whether this is reading standard notation, a lead sheet or a chart, being able to read and decipher rhythm patterns and symbols is a necessity. You will find that as your skills counting rhythm patterns develop, you will be able to make rhythmic markings on your own cheat sheets for gigs. This will enable you to accurately play a new song in front of an audience even though you may not have completely committed it to memory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The final area in which counting rhythm patterns helps you is in your <strong>INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE<\/strong>. Practicing scales or chords are only effective when you marry them up with a metronome. The second you do this whether you know it or not, you are dealing with rhythm and counting. Varying up your rhythm patterns while practicing will enable you to not only learn the scales and chord patterns, it will change the way in which you think about music and how you can rhythmically displace notes. By being aware of this fact and purposely applying varying patterns you will ensure that you not only develop your rhythm and counting technique, but you will allow counting rhythm patterns to become a natural part of your playing style.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Counting rhythm patterns is covered extensively in <a href=\"http:\/\/thelickfactory.com\/#products\">the LICK FACTORY courses<\/a> and your skills in this area are developed from strength to strength. Whilst the basics of counting rhythm patterns are all covered in the <a href=\"http:\/\/thelickfactory.com\/preliminary-lessons\/\">PRELIMINARY LESSONS<\/a>, the area in which I\u2019d like to touch on here is the ways in which you can count even subdivisions of a beat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While this can sound a little technical, its actually not. We are talking about the use of 8<sup>th<\/sup> notes (quavers) and 16<sup>th<\/sup> notes (Semiquavers) and all the ways in which they can be combined to take up a single beat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We\u2019ll begin by looking at the 8<sup>th<\/sup> note.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Counting Rhythm Patterns: 8th notes \/ Quavers<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Otherwise known as the Quaver, the 8<sup>th<\/sup> note represents a note that should be struck and sustained for \u00bd of a beat. Diagram 1 shows the 8<sup>th<\/sup> note as a singular event then a double and finally a quadruple.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8846\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8846\" style=\"width: 186px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thelickfactory.com\/the-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/10\/Counting-Rhythm-Patterns-8th-note-examples.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8846 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/thelickfactory.com\/the-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/10\/Counting-Rhythm-Patterns-8th-note-examples-186x300.jpg\" alt=\"Counting Rhythm Patterns - 8th note examples\" width=\"186\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelickfactory.com\/the-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/10\/Counting-Rhythm-Patterns-8th-note-examples-186x300.jpg 186w, https:\/\/thelickfactory.com\/the-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/10\/Counting-Rhythm-Patterns-8th-note-examples.jpg 261w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 186px) 100vw, 186px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8846\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Counting Rhythm Patterns DIAGRAM 1: 8th note examples<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Diagram 2 is the symbol used for the equivalent rest.
