Part that people usually make mistakes

People usually make mistakes for notes with rest signs. Rest signs means that you pause for their durations and therefore you can consider their durations same as the notes.











In addition, people also have difficulty in playing 2/3 type polyrhythm.










You need to play a triplet of quarter notes in 2 beats.
Please consider it to play six eighth notes by tying each 2 notes.











You can feel somewhat different with the 2/3 type polyrhythm.
The polyrhythm is frequently used in the section part (where all instruments play the same rhythm).

As you are familiar with even numbered beats which are widely used in dance and ballad songs, you may feel difficulty in this odd numbered beat. However, such shuffle rhythm is a basic one for the blues which is the root of the modern music and therefore you need to get used to it.
