You really nailed this today! The point of interpreting rhythm is to give it a little extra something, a kick or a chill-pill. When you push the rhythm, you get more of a kick, more spice. When you lay back on the rhythm, you make it sound more mellow. We also started chord progressions today. D and G is important. In this next week, try to strengthen all the muscle memory of all the fingers. We are going to test it out with rhythm next week.
