Hey guys. In my earlier post I talked about how you can play fast at the same tempo...which many knew. Now it is indeed a common misconception that whole notes are far more easier to play than quarter notes. Frankly speaking, to musicians who have been practicing for over six months..or one year (to be safe) it will make no difference to them, because they are used to it. However, for beginners, it will make a difference. For people who are just entering the world of music, understanding rythm, beats, tempo, takes a while and counts (specially) is a major obstacle for some. If a person is taught how to use a hammer, he may hurt himself once or twice, but once he gets used to it, he hardly makes a mistake. The same way, any worker will get used to what he is doing after a while. Just like these two examples, if you tell a person to play a particular note at equal intervals, and you help him start off, he may go off beat once or twice, but then in just 5 minutes he can continuous

Now before I start, I want to tell you a few things. This is just a small and basic topic I am covering up tonight, so most of you readers who are into music will understand this just by the title. However, there are always exceptions, and by reading this the exceptions wouldn't be exceptions anymore. P.S. if you don't understand this post, read it again slowly. So the title is kind of confusing huh? How can you possibly have different speeds on a definite tempo? Actually you can. You might have to read up a little more on this because I am explaining in brief, but let's say you have a tempo of 32bpm. Now you can play whole notes, which means in four counts you can play only once in four counts. People find this to be the easiest.  Then there is a quarter note, where you can play four notes in four counts. People find this super easy, easier than the whole notes. Any guesses as to why this happens? I will explain that in another post. Till then, keep thi
