Mike Dawes - Brilliant Polyrhythms Lesson Part 2!

[@gunamrit]

The way he says "Good luck with that" freezes my bones to the core !

[@MrRetinas]

I’ll go out on a limb here, this is NOT a polyrhythm. It’s two different phrase lengths, but they’re EVEN phrases - 5/4 against 7/8. It’s still crotchets against quavers, a 1:2 ratio. The bars don’t line up is a giveaway. A true polyrhythm is where the bar lengths in terms of time they take to play are the equal but the ratio is ODD. The “Pass the god damn butter” example is a 3:4 or 4:3 Odd ratio. You imagine a pulse of 12 ticks you have the 4 notes starting on Beats 1,4,7,10 so each lasting 3 ticks. The 3 notes begin on 1,5,9 each lasting 4 ticks. It’s one of those things that’s easy to draw a picture of but a bit tricky to say in words.

You’re right. It’s a PolyMETER, not a PolyRHYTHM.

[@eleanorfalce5748]

Thanks for re uploaded :)

[@guitarworld]

No prob. Sorry about that error!

[@MrJdsenior]

I don't play guitar, but it's really cool to see how some of this stuff is put together. Makes me even more in awe. ;-) And gives me more to listen with, if you know what I mean.

[@Rushtallica]

Wow. Thanks for posting these up. 8)

How do you get an acoustic guitar with such a low action and sound so wonderful at the same time(no fret buzz)??? Anyway a wonderful,complex and intriguing lesson..Thank you

Custom shop magic

[@MrDmadness]

check out tone wood amps, they allow you to do some cool stuff on an acoustic.. Tapping for example.

The link above for the tabs doesn't work...

[@bryteakpojiyovwi1603]

Do you ever play with standard tuning? This DADGAD thing is new to me.

[@dyllanusher1379]

The least common multiple of two numbers is at most x*y so the two pulses could meet up with less cycles.

[@brotherQ]

Left hand plays almost tubular bells, but still beautiful 😉

[@MrNomads]

Thanks a billion....

[@jazzdomi4364]

thanks

[@dinokatdrummer]

Actually, you'll have to play the x time signature y times ONLY IF x and y are coprimes.

[@holyronin]

I'm pretty sure they have to be coprime for it to be considered a polyrhythm.

[@arijitdas8964]

he says: "I don't think much with the polyrhythms which I write in the songs, I think less, play quickly and I LEARN QUICKLY."... THE VIDEO IS HAUNTING.

[@Βετο]

Thank you for the video mate, but that seems like a polymeter and not a polyrhythm

[@Anshul1614]

Polymeter is what this is I think.

[@spencerjames8989]

My brain hurts man

[@alexandert696]
