SYNCOPATED EIGHTH NOTES Syncopation is the placement of rhythmic accents on weak beats or weak portions of beats. Syncopated eighth notes, for example, emphasize the upbeat, or “and” of a beat. They are an important part of rock, blues, funk, R&B, soul, latin, jazz, and even country music. DOWNBEATS SYNCOPATED COUNT: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + (1) + (2) + (3) + (4) + Practice these slowly, counting the eighth notes aloud “1 + 2 +” etc. In order for syncopation to sound correct, the downbeats need to be felt. Once you are comfortable with the rhythms, use a metronome clicking on quarter notes. COUNT: 1 (2) + (3) + (4) + Fingerstyle players, remember to alternate between index (i) and middle (m) fingers. To mute the string during a rest Dlarp the alternate finger down early— stopping the string’s vibration— before playing the next note. Pick style players, continue tn use downstrokes on downbeats, and upstrokes on upbeats (or play all downstrokes, if you prefer). Be sure to mute all rests 76
