Not even to save my life

[FieryRed]

I love music, but I can't seem to find the beat of any song to save my goddam life. I will tap my foot or finger to what I feel is the beat, but I don't think I am right. I know it is more of a spur of the moment thing, but any tips to help me out?

It's something that comes naturally to me. I cant explain it.

 

[Bailey M]

just listen for the one repeated beat that all others are riding on

 

[cutie bug]

agreed
the beat will be heavier than the others around it, giving it motion.

 

[lady_bella]

what kind of music? usually you just try to tap along with the drums as drums are usually the ones sticking to the beat...

and yes i know this is not always the case. just a general rule of thumb.

rock music, queens of the stoneage, social distortion, tiger army, bad religion, afi, rob zombie and such. oh pennywise too.

that is a good sample of my taste.

QOTSA should be easy to find the beat to. its so repetitive.


QOTSA

you listen to a lot of punk, just listen for the snare

Yeah, punk rock can cure you of a lot of musical deficiencies. lol

In my early 20's, Blondie had a huge influence over me.

I've returned to her music in the last ten years, but I was sure to always remember to take her songs with a grain of salt.

The first song on one of her new album The Curse of Blondie is quite impressive.

Also Devo is kinda punk. They got a real easy beat to pick-up and will definitely keep your mind glued. They are around my all-time fifth or sixth favorite band.
