time is always a difficult thing to explain !
if he is really battling! i would start off simply ! really simply .
with listening . take some of his favourite tunes and sit and listen to the songs with him and try get him to feel the vibe and time of the song inside him let it trigger his interal metronome. that part of him that feels music.
playing in time is a mechanical physical thing but feeling time has to be cultured inside you.
this may sound tough but try reveal to him what time or groove feels like when it is happening.
good luck |
