From: "RICK WALKER
>> posting portions of my Rhythm Intensive method


I was lucky to catch up with a short seminar Rick Walker gave last  
year in Zürich. I snagged his hand written manuscript too ;-))  Can't  
recommend his "Rhythm Intensive method" enough! I wish someone had  
told me 40 years ago that rhythm is the base of musicianship. That  
would have spared me  decades of overplaying due to poor rhythmic  
understanding. Today it's easy for me to say that ninety nine percent  
of musicianship is hitting the notes on time and only the very last  
percent is playing in tune, sticking to some scale or remembering the  
melody you're supposed to play. I finally found out "the long way".
