David's Tip of the Day: Louder = Faster?

David Barrett Admin's picture

In our soloing we employ dynamics... louds and softs. A common rhythmic error... I sure have to compensate for this in my playing... is when a player increases their volume for dramatic effect they'll commonly start to rush... play too fast. Knowing this, when you increase your volume in a passage, make a point to keep the rhythm laid back and swingin'... this will help this common error from happening.
