Rythm transcription

[Blair_thejrs]

Does anyone have any tips for transcribing rythm, I think im getting alot better with the notes but the minute it comes to rythm I just find it very hard dont know why, Also find it hard to count whilst I play if that makes sense I can play written rythms but It comes more naturaly than going theres a crotchet so I count 1 then play on the second etc.

Heres my attempt at the first bit of Le Freak since im getting into disco bass now:

I dont belive this is right rythmicaly but the notes all seem to fit. (P.s shouldve used a repeat I know)

Thanks

It looks good to me. The only fault I can see is that the first 16th note in the second last bar need not be dotted.

Rhythm is misplaced. Check the correct way to notate that intro:

It looks like a glissando not a dot.

I like when a group of 16 notes are group in beats like the second to last bar.

Hmm... well, I can't think of any particular "tip" aside from "formally" training on reading and understanding rhythmic notation. This book is simply excellent for that task, but I don't understand why it's so damn expensive! I have a copy in pdf format that I can send you if you are interested.

Forgot to mention that, while I don't dare to say how easy or difficult would be working on that book for an autodidact, one thing's for sure: A metronome is a must, no matter how easy some exercises seem to be. Link Removed is THE BEST free metronome you can find online.

tap your foot on the quarter notes, and the rhythm with your hands.
