BANGER INDIAN METAL RIFFS pt 2

[@mattias_ia_eklundh]

Thank you again for allowing me to mess around on your channel, o tiptop Yogev. It was fun!

[@YogevGabay]

Happy to have you ON!

[@posmobin]

Whoa, never thought I'd see you on here! Been a big fan all the way back to Spanking Hour (I think...that was a long time ago). Keep kicking ass!

[@yespleasevicar]

IA is the man.

[@jan-assarlaine8312]

Actually he's an alien with tentacles, keen sense for rhythm and german bread, cleverly disguised as a human being.

[@aprilcox871]

What I find truly astounding is how this all adds up to however many bars of 4/4 (15 I think), rather than having 5/16 left over or whatever

[@El_Molzo]

That's a consequence of the chinese remainder theorem. No matter how complex the pattern, when repeated it will align with a 4/4 pulse eventually.

[@aprilcox871]

@@El_Molzo but it aligns after the first pass

[@El_Molzo]

@@aprilcox871 yeah, you're right of course! That has nothing to do with the chinese remainder theorem, it's just carefully constructed that way.

[@aprilcox871]

@@El_Molzo if the total phrase adds up to an odd number like 13/16, 17/16 etc then it will go out until you repeat 4 times, then it will align with a 4/4 pulse (e.g 13/16 x 4 = 13/4)

[@El_Molzo]

@@aprilcox871 Thats not, what I've meant with aligning with a 4/4 pulse. A phrase of 12 16th notes needs to be repeated 4 times to align with a 4/4 beat: 4 x 12/16 = 3 x 16/16 = 3 x 4/4. So after 4 repititions the phrase shares the 1 with the 4/4 pulse. A phrase of 13 16th notes needs to be repeated 16 times to align with a 4/4 beat: 16 x 13/16 = 13 x 16/16 = 13 x 4/4.

[@sinkler123]

This Indian technique is still mind-bending for me to fully grasp, not sure ill ever be able to use it in practice. I love learning new things though, so there is still hope :) Thanks for this fun collab video

[@fingerdancer1721]

Super off topic but I've never seen anyone write the letter N like that. Great video though, I love the way Matthias writes basically everything using konnakol nowadays.

[@NathanielBTM]

you've never seen someone write a Captail n? oh wait... after re-watching it... he wrote the N from right to left... I see what you mean

I’ve been a musician my whole life, and started rapping for fun when I was about 15 before actually realizing I could utilize rap in my music and taking it seriously in certain projects. I learned about Takadimi solfege in my late teens back when I struggled with the pentameter of my rhymes and especially trying to sound fluid and carrying stable breaths during fast triplets like twisted insane can, etc. I can honestly say from experience to learn this combined with practice regimens on my instrument and voice, was a huge boon. It helps me compartmentalize my lyrics especially during percussive passages. (Again, like rapping.) But not only that, it also improved my speed, accuracy, and comfortability during improvisation because I associate the “new rhythmic solfege” with what’s going on with my body and mind. Thus it acts as another barometer to measure myself with and gauge progress, except the whole focus is for keeping time. It is a perfect system, you’d be hard pressed to find any notation you can’t condense into the solfege easily, unless you’re like, looking up dodecaphonic music written In irrational time signatures to challenge yourself. Any musician should try this as a fun exercise; it’s very easy and so convenient you’ll be doing it in your head and with your voice for the rest of your life. Little cheat sheet for anyone who wants to rap or speak blistering fast triplets, “TAKADATAKADATAKADATAKADA-Thom.” :D

[@PeytonDrums05]

Can you do a breakdown of MOON by Leprous. I've been able to breakdown most of their catalog but Moon still trips me up.

[@Yupppi]

Haha I've followed Mattias for so long, first got introduced to him randomly like 15 years ago. Fun to find him guesting here too. Konnakol is such a fascinating tool for new music ideas. It's in a way so intuitive, it makes theory and rhythm merge immediately into making and feeling music. A welcome change to western music theory. The addition of percussion fits so greatly in this. Although this song is a real brain melter. I can imagine performing this and just one player loses one beat and the whole construction falls apart. It feels like you'll never get back to the groove if you snooze for even one hit.

[@seankeogh20]

The playthrough just scratches an itch in my brain

[@juffinhally5943]

Thanks, that was great!

[@HitTheRoadMusicStudio]

This is HUGE thank you guys!!!

[@RightOnBud]

Had the pleasure of going go Freak Guitar Camp a few times with a friend. Not as a guitar player but as an observer, luggage carrier and wasp swatter. Doesn't matter who you are; after being subjected to IA and Guthrie Gowan the way you feel about music is forever changed. It absolutely made me end up here, so IA showing up here is a funny way of everything going full circle :D

[@YogevGabay]

I'm very very excited for it !!

[@hexbeat9832]

And this musical system is the basis of improvisation in South India...

[@scosstard3542]

Broooooo! Damn I missed the first part, will check it out. But this was so damn interesting. The exploding TA! was my head at the end of the rhythmical breakdown sequence :D Also great that you could collaborate with Mattias IA Eklundh he is such a creative guitarist PS: hummus =

[@YogevGabay]

YEESSSSS

[@pantheon777]

For some reason KZbin stopped giving me notifications of your channel (one of my favorites) for months now. I now have to catch up. I am both pissed and excited about this.

[@YogevGabay]

Oh you just wait for the next few weeks !

[@alirezabayat6388]

Truly masterful, NICE.

[@galgabrielisrael3237]

YES

[@camerontgore]

Killer Doom mousepad!!!

[@AirwavesEnglish]

Yogev, those tiny little clips from movies you put in between your explanations are hilarious. " I sense a trap" HAHAHA! My favourite one EVER was in your break-down of Gojiras - The Art of Dying, with Mr.Bean saying "Magic!" when they both resolved on the 45th beat. Too awesome bro. I'm very glad I found your channel because it's really helped me a LOT with understanding complex rhythms. That said, I'm really struggling with the (L/R) sticking at the beginning of The Art of Dying, in the percussive intro. I understand the 4/4/4/2/2/2 and then 4/4/4/2/2 but I can't seem to understand the actual (L/R) sticking. I've tried looking online for it but there's not much to be found and also most transcriptions start from the actual riff and not the intro beginning. Any help please, could you write the sticking onto your "beat-breakdown" circles, or do a short video more in-depth about how to think of this composition and how to count it?

[@YogevGabay]

hahahahahah the 'Magic' thing killed me As for the sticking, it's kinda straight forward. Think about straight up singles. RLRLRLRLRLRL. Now accent the matching numbers where each gap is also counted for so: RLRL r LRLR l RLRL r LR l RL r LR l ..... Makes sense? so the flow of singles remain, movement wise.

[@AirwavesEnglish]

WoW! Thanks for the reply. I feel honored to get a reply from a famous person! Thanks so much for clarifying this. I've seen a lot of drummers playing it as RLRL RLRL RLRL RL RL RL..... and it just didn't make sense to me because it's actually in 5 and not 4. I originally wrote out the sticking like what you wrote for me above and learned it as that so now I'm happy I understood it with the correct "feeling" without "cheating". I just wanted to make sure I'm playing/counting it as originally intended. Thanks a million; you're a star! Have a great weekend. :)

[@YogevGabay]

@@AirwavesEnglish You're very welcome sir !

[@sikkis4007]

This (Konnakol) is very inspiring and addicting.

[@elijahclewis5202]

You should check out the Austrian group Triptonus. I think you would have some fun breaking down the rhythmic elements to their songs!

[@nogoogleplus]

Love the channel man. Is there a definitive konnakol source you’d recommend? (I’ve seen many conflicting “syllables” for different subdivisions) or maybe that’s your next vid series? 🤘

[@YogevGabay]

There are some. I'm definitely working on one and will publish when ready!

[@into_the_void]

Fantastic

[@todomusicaemmanuelllull9351]

Es tremendo!!! Igualmente le estoy dando vueltas a algo y prefiero tirarlo. El comienzo del segundo TA DI KI NA THOM es en la segunda semicorchea, o por lo menos mí análisis llegó hasta ahí.

[@masonkiller1]

Haha, just love this vids!❤️😵‍💫🔫 even if I will never be able to play any of this. Thx

[@Morbonoct]

New song of Meshuggah mb?)

[@krisnadexter]

This kind of rhythm is amazing. I'm a bit slow, I haven't finished digesting your last video (a reshuffling of atom) still learning how to play it correctly, now this new video come out. I need to speed up. 😂

[@YogevGabay]

All good take your time! This will be up till, umm, till forever ahahah

[@Zelemetal]

You should do King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's Shanghai. They're very crazy with rhythms even if the music sometimes sounds simple

[@megaman13able]

Their Fourth Colour is pretty mind blowing too

[@vrody3609]

Brilliant

[@EricVellekoop]

Using blue and yellow colours, blue on top, right now, is an neat way to address and support Ukraine. Nice!

[@YogevGabay]

Kudos on the attention to detail !

[@victorzamora5626]

Increíble resultado *_*

[@posmobin]

I just heard a song that I think you'd appreciate Yogev. A 2004 song by The Streets (British grime/rap band) called Blinded by the Lights. It has a half-time drum beat with a 16th note hi-hat ride and a persistent keyboard pulse on top. At first it sounds like may triplets or quintuplets over the bar, but listening again I think it's actually a 3/16th keyboard pulse which has a 1/16th note 'stutter' at the end to line up with after 4 bars (21 * 3/16ths + 1/16th = 64 1/16ths). Then near the end they drop out the keyboards in favor of a more straight-forward syncopated pulse on them, and emphasize 1/8th notes on the drums. The whole thing, especially that 1/16th note stutter, goes perfectly with the lyrics about going to a club and getting f'd up on drugs (not that I would know from personal experience, haha). Definitely simpler than some of the other stuff you've covered, but still a cool song and rhythmic arrangement!

[@posmobin]

Actually, that 3/16th keyboard part? I think it may also start a 1/16th note late as well, which means that the stutter actually drops it past the bar line every time. Or I could be completely wrong about all of this, haha. Check it out!

[@YogevGabay]

Will listen !

[@pendiculator]

Fear not! It is just 4/4 XD

[@walterevans2118]

Oh Dear....This is FRIGHTENING me...🤔😳😲..lol.

[@michaelhackman3195]

Loved the biggest ta in the world

[@davidjairala69]

That guitar might actually be *too* in tune with those squiggly frets. Sounds unnatural hahaha.

[@davidjairala69]

@James Black it's still equal temperament isn't it?

[@pendiculator]

@@davidjairala69 The fretboard is designed for a temperament called Thidell formula 1 (named after the inventor Anders Thidell).

I love Mathias, specially with Master Jonas Helborg

[@YogevGabay]

Hell yeah !

[@kwichmann2777]

This still gives me nightmares, lol

[@Tohkar]

Hello Yogev, hello everyone. I've been trying to play Dreadful moments by Jinjer recently. On guitar 😄 I'm not sure there are polyrythmns involved, but the riffs are so clipped and ever changing. How would you approch a song like that? Do i have to write down the all thing step by step and memorize it ? P.S: All the love and force to Jinjer and their compatriots.

[@YogevGabay]

Hi! Very much depends on the song, and on how comfortable you are with transcribing. I either memorize music or write it down depends on how difficult it is !

[@user-dx6ro3hk5f]

Partituras brooo, por favor, no entiendo nada jajaja

[@SlyHikari03]

This could also work with breakcore too.

[@steelmacecontinuum8696]

Sounds kinda like King Crimson, but better 👌🏽👽

[@natrixxvision6997]

Ranjit Barot. Gino Banks. Trilok Gurtu. Better call up one of em.

[@prasanjitbaansal9783]

Came to this video after a couple of meshuggah ones. Mattias last name gave me a chuckle. Eklundh (ek lundh) translates to "One Penis" in hindi xD

[@YogevGabay]

hahahahaha

[@PorchBass]

You know, like paradiddles

[@JulianFernandez]

killer

[@0hili0]

do something with " I " from Meshuggah!

[@YogevGabay]

Well, MAYshuggah is coming close...

[@_Moses44]

I did this the very first time I ever picked up a guitar. It’s musical diarrhea

[@studiostelemaque9171]

Hello there ! What confuses me is that you keep a stong beat on the click every 4 beats...is that relevant ? I mean the click here is just to give us the tempo not a time signature ?

[@YogevGabay]

It's more for tempo yes, the time signature may mathematically be 4, but the music doesn't necessarily indicate it!

[@jravell]

You speak of your “technical limitations”. So what is it you can’t do?

[@YogevGabay]

Well, I was never too good with double kick stuff, I think that's what I'm referring too here

[@mynameisUhrl]

Both percussionists sound great, but the guitar is a bit whiny. I love myself some IA and Freak Kitchen, but what's the appeal in a diabolical mosquito demon drunken on a sacrilegious blood ritual?

[@YogevGabay]

Dude, first of all I'm listening to IA as I'm writing this. Second, hes a monster I love him hahaha

[@MittensOnly]

Swedish is definitely white you... maybe? you lose white point for your foreign name, so it's hard to say

[@tehhhhhd]

"foreign" xD

[@YogevGabay]

hahahahahaha

[@jake.walker.official]

Just can't hear any musicality in it.

[@jamelgreaves5833]

Because it's a 15-30 sec breakdown segment not an entire track..

[@jkol323]

It's just breaking down a rhythm dude lol it's the foundation of musicality
