We have a special guest today. Mitch Chang will be leading us in a special session on feeling the beat.
From Mitch:
Feel The Beat! Still having trouble playing in time or unsure how to confidently start a song with others? This class focuses on one of the most important (and often overlooked) skills in music: feeling and counting the beat.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify and count the beat in different types of songs
- Understand common time feels (like 4/4 and 3/4) in a simple, practical way
- Lock in your strumming so you stay steady and consistent
- Give a clear, confident count-off to start a song
- Lead a group so everyone comes in together smoothly
Whether you’re playing with friends, at a jam, or on stage, these skills will help you feel more grounded, sound more polished, and take the lead when it matters.
Perfect for beginners and intermediate players who want to build confidence, improve timing, and step into a leadership role in group playing.
