I read earlier today on here about whether Dave was self taught or not and took note of the part that Dave said one thing hsi guitar teacher told him never to stop was tapping your foot. Easy enough, I thought ... until right now when I tried tapping my foot to Jimi Thing (which resulted in an almost ungodly Sienfeld "Elaine" Dance imitation) and some other stuff which I thought shoul be pretty easy ... and I just cant get coordinated! So the answer still stands. Am I Retarded? What am I doing wrong?>



Thanks guys
and




















yes.

I have such bad rythym that if I tried tapping my foot then my origionally bad rythym would just get more fucked up from my off beat foot tapping. :cry: :oops:

I've always tapped my foot or twitched in some manner to keep beat. What i usually do is have my right toe on the ground and kind of twitch my leg up and down to the beat. Looks really stupid, but it's automatic for me.
