Everybody's clapping on the one and the three Am I the last of my kind? Am I the last of my kind?" Jason Isbell said that, so you are in good company, Rudy. I have to make a conscious effort to emphasize the back beat, but it sure improves the groove!

I find that I'm more comfortable tapping my foot on 1 and 3,but when I clap or tap my hand, it's on 2 and 4 . . . Strange - I'd never analysed it till now.

Enjoying the discussion about tapping on 1 and 3 verses 2 and 4. I've always tapped on 1 and 3 but learning some new songs that need tapping on the 2 and 4 back beat. |

Yes I am .
I don't tap as much as I used to, but when I find my timing is starting to wander I'll tap my foot to bring it back in. It forces me to focus on it. My kids are foot tappers also...the trick works for them also. |

For us "foot tappers", is it tapping toes or heels (as in ball of foot stays down and you're lifting heel off the floor).
I'm in the heel tapping cult. More bass, that way! |

If I am tapping 1 and 3, I tap my toes. If I am tapping 2 ad 4, I tap my heel. I am not sure why but, that's what feels right.

Some sort of internal timekeeping is crucial. I don't really "tap," it's more of a slight "push" of my foot against the bottom of my shoe, but you better believe you'd hear it if I didn't do it!

Yes I don't really foot tap but have a strong sense of the rhythm in my mind.
