Recently I talked a bit about swing time, which many people confuse with syncopation. Today I talked more about syncopation, what it is, how it is independent of swing, and then opened the door to time signature changes, which can be confused with both swing and syncopation. It should all be as clear as mud if you follow me till the end.

Other than that, we have a couple winners to the first week of our March 3-Minute Challenge, and we are closing registration to our Spring International Guitar Camp next week (with 2 spots still available).

Musical excerpts/examples included tunes from Neil Young, John Prine, Bon Jovi, and some English folk by Steeleye Span.
