If your rhythm gets less secure the moment a passage becomes exposed, technical, or tiring, the issue may not be counting. It may be how you’re relating to pulse in the first place.

In this lesson segment, Chris Coletti explores how subdivision can help you build a more accurate sense of time while also improving endurance. Rather than relying only on mental counting, he points toward a more physical, internal sense of pulse that can make your playing feel steadier, more relaxed, and more musical.
