Djent Lesson 5: Rhythmic Displacement, Polyrhythms and Syncopation

After a year long hiatus from this series I'm back with probably the best lesson I've made so far. This one deals directly with the rhythmic elements that you hear in Djent music (progressive metal.) I have no problem using that term as a genre because it serves as an umbrella for the more modern side of progressive metal, not the stuff that sings about fairies and dragons. JUST REMEMBER: awkward head movements R IMPORTANTE! I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for checking it out!

This was sick! I don’t even play guitar but I appreciated learning more about this style of playing.

[@Squisnertismetal-nd2jz]

Dude! You are making some killer content. I loved where you took this in the end example. I can't wait to see Djent 6.0!

[@DrewCreal]

Thanks so much, I think we are going to get into tuplets and nested tuplets in the next one...if I can figure out how they work and listen to enough Car Bomb 💣 lol

Something im really confused by is the fact that you said you play 5 notes at 17:30, but when i research the herta online i keep seeing a 4 note rythm just the 2 16th and the 2 8ths. I seems like you are playing 2 16th 2 8th and that another note. (total beginner here for rythms just couldnt wrap my head around this part of the video) Anyways love the video i hope you can anwser my question :)

[@DrewCreal]

You're right, a herta is 4 notes, I mis-spoke in the video, thanks for your comment!

[@NatteBadMuts]

@@DrewCreal it wasn't to correct you just for myself that I'm doing it correctly ;)

@@NatteBadMuts you are always welcome to correct me if you hear something was off 🤘
