14:04 A melodic Meshuggah 😂

SUBBED!

4:47 "The E Major is the 5 of my 6 chord"...That completely lost me. What does that mean?

Has Ben been listening to Devil Townsend, or what?

Would have appreciated more input from and collaboration with musicians who grew up with these rhythms

Who else goes “the simp sons” for Lydian?

Each of your videos is worth its weight in gold. Thank you for bringing this to light. I always felt that the western way of writing down rhythms was inadequate. There are Indian progressive bands like agam and motherjane who are incorporating the Indian rhythm traditions in a hybrid western style. They live in a strange void where they are little known by the world outside India and unappreciated within India.

As a former rock drummer I can tell that the rhythm would destroy me.

13:25 - a great composition. Very creative. Suddenly, 14:03 gave me a "don’t hug me i’m scared" feels …

The intro sounds so much like the Indian raag charukeshi.... Great job guys ❤

Melodic Minor is gross...

I saw Shakti. The rhythms have loooonnngg sequences.

Too much explanation for tha ki ta, tha ki ta, tha ki ta.

What is the song from 0:09 to 0:13 ? I heard it so many times. Zeppelin?

Easy Peasy.

as a percussionist, this is easy

Dope composition at the end there. Definitely reminds me of listening to Dream Theater or Plini!

Sorry. I'll stick to Western music. Good luck Jake.

That Jake/Ben Levin colab hits just right.

I am nowhere close to the musician you and your peers are, but as an Indian with a little knowledge on Indian music, this was the easiest thing for me.

3:32 ‘it's very easy to say taquito very quickly - taquito taquito taquito’ Counterpoint, no it isn't.

Debashish Bhattacharya’s chatturanghi interpretations will warp all of it for ya.

marry me omg i get it now this is revolutionary

These exercises made me feel dizzy.

I'm out of breath just watching you!

I typed in "How to write Sea Shanties," and your name popped up (my dude). I should've known 😄👍🏿 🫶🏿

You're right, you missed all kinds of genre conventions! For one, your girl didn't leave you and you didn't mention going to the bar to meet a new one! You didn't mention small towns at all, there wasn't a neon light in sight, and you didn't go for any of the hard drinking, soul crushing heartbreak, or drunk driving extra credit items. I feel like I wanna say, refer to David Allen Coe, but that's normal country, not bro country, so you're not going to have a momma jesus or prison requirements. The more I think about this, the more writing the perfect bro country song feels like a fun exercise

Waw amazing

First try

Nice work

I'm gonna delve into this and write a percussive metal riff on this one one of these days. I saw the Shangkar vid some time ago and imagined if Meshuggah would do something the same lol

Very nice video❤

You should talk to Mathias IA Eklundh. He's the first person I ever saw that incorporated indian rhythm ideas in guitar.

Love your teaching!!

Very interesting. Don't you think it's kind of a rotating 3 against 2 feeling?

Since I have specialized in this thing KONNAKOL as a guitar player it made me reflect on the fact that everything that we learn in music theory is based on language: note names, the scales and the harmonies - and on higher levels upper triads, substitutions etc. - all tonal events taking place in time - So the good thing to ask is : how do we practise time?, timing, subdivisions, polyrhythms & timekeeping ? And for that Konnakol is awesome because it is a language. A universal language.

Mind = blown

Hey buddy... Just a suggestion.... Can you kind of speak a little less.....

Me gusta!! Tiene una onda a Devin Townsend

That was fantastic. Years of confusion dissolved in 18 minutes....

Hey, this is awesome version, I love it! Is there any chance you could provide a version without the backing track? just the awesome guitar solo. Thanks!

What an incredible video you've made! The explanation, instruction and inspiration build on each other in a really wonderful overall effect.

The first exercise is reminiscent of the bridge of here comes the sun, which George Harrison has stated was influenced by Indian time signatures/fluctuations. (The second one could be too but I am writing this at the end of the first exercise.) Edit: The second part reminds me of HCTS bridge meets a 80s Zappa Live Jam.

Here's a song from 20 years ago in Bangladesh that may have used this in drums. Porahoto by Black kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6u3aohohb-Ui6s

Bro u are mos def making shitty world better

Language by The Contortionist has a great 9/8 section. When it first starts, there is no back beat so it's tough to assign a meter to it on first listen

Is mixolydian and dorian almost the same?

U mention complexity in "Carnatic" music and then show Anoushka playing "Hindustani". Two different art forms with different theoretical musical systems. Just saying.

Amazing and applicable! Appreciate the simplicity and clear examples provided.

If you are not ready to make exercise corectly why for god sake did you record educational video!?!?
