Essential Rhythmic Techniques in Songwriting
First, check out this link to ModernBeats.com: Making Hip Hop Beats
Placement of the kickdrum in production beats is one of the most important aspects to spicing up any song or backline. If we have a straight 4/4 rhythm with the kick on the 1 and 3 and the snare on the 2 and 4, it’s a straight-up 4/4 feel.
I found this site for setting up your electric guitar on icepoint.com. It’s an outstanding graphical guide for setting your axe up perfectly. Even if you’re a beginner, DON’T be afraid to make these adjustments. There are those who pay $20-$50 PER SETUP of these exact procedures, so don’t be intimidated. I know a professional guitarist who pays his guy $35 once per month to do this – how many others do you think he sets up in that month? Ok, you get the point of the value of this piece. Good luck! If you have any questions, please post them here or email them so we can all benefit!
I’m going to let the cat out of the bag right now:
