Have you ever been jamming along to the intro of a song, maybe a rad guitar lead or backbeat, and then the rest of the band comes in and it feels like you’re a beat behind? They do this on purpose, just to fake you out. But that’s the fun of music, right?

In this episode of Beat Talk, we’re talking all about intros just like that – we’re calling them rhythmic fake-outs. We’re going to dive into five tracks that have given us a run for our money in the past, and hopefully help dissect them in a way that makes them easier to understand.
