One of the more common issues I hear in the playing

of beginner to intermediate jazz improvisers is a poor time feel. Just not really being able to

land their phrases in the time. Maybe it's rushing. Maybe it's dragging. Maybe it's just the

phrases are sounding a little bit off for lack of sense of

rhythm and where the time is. And this is really an important thing to hone in on because we could

play all the right notes and have really great lines and licks, but if we're not playing them

with good time feel, it can really just sound completely amateur. So in today's episode, I'm going to

go over

just the very basics of developing a good time feel so that we can start getting headed

in the right track and start playing better jazz solos in better time. All right? Let's do this thing.
