Challenging Compas practice idea.

Hi crew, this ones a tricky little practice idea, given to me by my old teacher.
The idea is to get your metronome and set it up in 6/8 (half time count). I do it at about 92 bpm.
Then count it so that the BEEP is on the 3. So it ends up clicking on 3 5 7 9 11 & 1....
So YOU are responsible for the accents and can't rely on the compas backing track or the metronome beeping for you. It's hard at first but you get a good idea of what this will do for your playing after doing it for a while.
GO NUTS

I call it playing against the up beat.
