Thread Name: Tempo Deafness
Subject: RE: Tempo Deafness
Jon, I know a guy who can tune a guitar and sing on key...but who sings like a metronome is clicking behind his eyes...I simply can't tell if he doesn't HEAR the 'pace' as it should be, or if he can't focus on both song and playing at the same time...but I have heard you play and sing, and you do manage to time and pace a song...so at least you are somehow aware of the right rhythm in context...Is there some problem in measuring time apart from music? Perhaps...(I also know a FINE musician who plays anything with strings, and moves his left and right hands exactly like they NEED to be moved...but CANNOT point left OR right when asked...dyslexia to the max!)....I suppose as long as you do what you need...*smile*
