Um, I saw a good win. I saw a bunch of good winning. Thank you guys for all the questions. Thank you for being here. Happy Saturday. It's Saturday. Uh-oh, low battery. I've been doing so much live stuff. My battery is low.

Um, okay, this is a good one from Nice Chord official. Any tips for landing on the right note on the right beat instead of an eighth, eighth note too early or too late? Well, it's funny because i think about that if you land

on the right note on the right side of the beat i think we're talking about syncopation upbeat downbeat

a lot of times that can sound corny right like the wrong notes and especially landing on um

often can be more interesting now the, the concept of like, can you hear what you're playing at a relatively high percentage as you play? If you can, then you can make those decisions. If you're not sure how it's going to sound until you play it, you're kind of stuck because it's like, uh-oh, you start to think, I landed on the wrong beat. I land on the wrong note, whereas we have an

infinite kind of, you know, number of choices where we can land, how we can play things,

to the point of we're progressing towards nothing is wrong. Now, by saying nothing is wrong,

doesn't mean that some people don't sound like poo-poo because they do. But, you know,

so you can't just be like well i can play anything

but i think that even thinking about it in terms of the right note or the wrong note now if you want

the more important i think is to figure out the difference between what it sounds like what it feels

like to land on the wrong note and the right note and so i think you're talking about like scale

tones or chord tones versus non-core tones and And then the wrong or right beat, the upbeat or the downbeat, depending on the kind of line and stuff. And to me, you can do that with some restrictive practicing where you just say, okay, I'm going to play a bunch of courses over a blues or rhythm changes or all the things you are, some tune that you're very comfortable with and say every line I'm going to end on an upbeat eighth note but on a chord tone. And then the next time you say, I'm going to do it all on the upbeat but a non-core tone. And you try each those combinations and then you just start to drill into your head how they work, how they sound. And then you can make those on-the-fly decisions when you're going to use them.

Yeah, that's the key, is to get comfortable. There really is no right or wrong notes on or off the beat.

It's your control over that that is the magic of it. And you have to get comfortable and practice,

you know, landing on core tones off the beat or landing on, I mean, like, if you land on

the second, that's a, or the fourth, that could be a very beautiful note to be a strong

landing point or strong jumping off point. So you just have to learn how to accept those and how

to control that and know, you know, hear everything. Here, you should theoretically be able to make any note over any chord work.

Yes.

If you're doing it right.

And that's the ultimate goal.
