Dynamics refer to how loudly or softly you play throughout a song. Learn to do that well and take your playing to the next level!

Or verse and chorus can be reversed in loudness. Just listen to The Unforgiven by Metallica. Which shows how amazing music is. Breaking the “rules” is good, too.

Hello @darthktulu and welcome to the community.

You’re right.
If it sounds good it is good and the ‘rules’ are loose.

Hi Justin, that’s interesting. One example came to mind , it’s Heroes (D Bowie), the Reality Tour version of 2004 which have a really great progression which end up as an anthem - great for a alcoholic couple song. I love it, what a genius.

nonetheless; I think you didn’t cover yet in the beginer course 1 the change of beats . I really struggle with this. How do you play evenly softer or stronger, or how do you mark beat 2 and 4 for example. WHat’s the right technics? thx

Was watching Justin’s Uke for kids video this week and noticed how he uses dynamics to keep children and adults into the music - lowering the volume. Interesting brain stuff…

That‘s an absolute great lesson. Thanks a lot for it :star_struck:. Nevertheless, it will take some time to put the theory into practice. As a beginner, I‘m quite happy, when I manage to play the chords more of less perfectly and am able to stick to a constant strumming pattern :blush:. But I look forward to experimenting with different dynamics :grinning:.
