Tapping your foot while playing - Please Stop?

[basseux]

Traduction inexacte? Spelling out the beats would be murder in a fast 7/8.

yeah of course the topic was all about playing super fast jazz fusion tunes in odd rythms, why didn't I get that, sorry.

Do you tap your foot to keep time? I sure do. And in recent videos of me I see just how distracting it is. It has caused me to stop wearing white shoes on stage.

I'd say that tapping your foot has already improved your stage presence by eliminating the white shoes. Well done!

"Spelling" in American English (and as far as I know, British English) means calling out the constituent letters. 7/8 would be particularly nasty, but even 4/4 would be a pain to count: "Oh en ee tee dubblya oh tee aych are ee ee eff oh you are", with 1 being a triplet, 4 being sixteenth notes, 3 being quintuplets, and 2 being either quintuplets of the beat or a sixteenth + 32nd triplets + sixteenth beat.

Ok, spelling the bars maybe then
