Keeping time like Chick Corea (without a metronome!)
Peter & Adam address a listener's question on how to practice keeping time, using Chick Corea as an example.
Quote from Chick on rhythm: "I don't know any rote ways to improve your rhythm. I personally don't advise using a metronome, you'd be following the metronome and you want to be creating your own rhythm. One way to do that is to make recordings of yourself and listen to yourself back and try to see how you can improve what you want to improve about that. But rhythm, in general, is something that you build little bit by little bit by just doing it and correcting yourself and getting better at what you see."
