Vocalize Your Rhythms To Internalize Them: Indian Rhythmic Solfege

[@huuexx]

For reference: 5- Ta-Ka-Ghe-Na-Ton (?) 6- Ta-Ki-Da-Ta-Ki-Da 7- Ta-Ka-Di-Mi-Ta-Ki-Da Thanks for covering this. I’ve been having trouble internalizing these rhythms.

Your teaching is right at the top of what is happening on KZbin. I am so grateful for it. I hope true fire, or someone else picks you up, your teaching is awesome. You playing is also awesome. I hope your playing and teaching life affords you a comfortable and satisfying life - you deserve it.

Those are some very kind words. Glad you are enjoying the channel :)

Takademi is the single most important concept I have learned from any yt lesson, allowing the deepest connection to the rhythm in a way that feels natural and flowing. Thanks so much for sharing😅!

[@marbinmusic]

Well said!

[@godinflt555]

The school I taught at started teaching Takadimi to vocal students, and it is incredible! There are reading rhythms like nothing. It is one of the most beneficial musical “tools” of the last 30 years.

[@marbinmusic]

I'm surprised it isn't more common. Super useful stuff

Way easier for the tongue than 'ti-ti' for eights. 16th are ok with 'tiri-tiri' and triplets 'triola' - Hungarian Kodaly method vocalizations

Love this! Subscribed! I enjoyed your work in the Vertex video and I really love your style. There are a lot of guitarists in the world but you have such a unique way with your playing that I haven’t seen or heard before. Very refreshing! 🤘

[@marbinmusic]

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed!

A great important video for musicians struggling with their timing.

[@scottpresley1871]

Brings back memories of my high school chorus & piano teacher. She did a similar thing with the word "BEAT" although we didn't get past sixteenth notes. On my own I figured out subdividing the pulse and getting a bit further. Really enjoy watching these videos as it brings back so much theory along with the urge to play again.

[@marbinmusic]

Huh. Would she just repeat the word beat for each subdivision or were there different sounds?

[@scottpresley1871]

@@marbinmusic Different sounds, like exaggerated syllables. Quarter notes were "beat," eighth notes were "be-tah," eighth-note triplets were "be-tay-ah," and sixteenths were "be-tay-ah-tah." I had to figure out different groupings myself but for what we did in class and occasional performances, those our steps were enough. (And this was my high school years, late 80s.)

Thank you Dani. Keep on going !

[@marbinmusic]

Thanks for checking this out. That's the plan!

[@hearpalhere]

Wow, this is exactly what I need. I've been self taught most of my guitar playing life and only recently started taking lessons. I'm still struggling with rhythms and will be practicing this for sure. Thank you so much for posting this! You have a new subscriber 🙂 Greetings from Hungary.

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

thanks i have trouble keeping track of subdivisions this works great.

[@marbinmusic]

Glad it helped!

[@thomaspollock8167]

Damn Dani, that was a great rhythmic breakdown!

[@sharkshaaayy]

thank you

[@vizzo7]

very interesting. But how do you count with pauses like 1st sixteenth pause and the 3rd and 4th or pause the 2nd pause and 4th?

[@marbinmusic]

I could lie and say that you subtract those syllables from the pattern but in all honesty I used this system to get accustomed to how different speeds feel against a constant pulse. Once I was there I was doing it on the guitar not verbally

[@thejamnasium6447]

there's a song by Garaj Mahal (Fareed Haque on guitar) where he's basically just saying these over the groove. actually I think he does it in a few of their songs. now I know what he was doing. right on. found an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3Okh4udbrdkbas

Come back to LA or socal

[@paullennon8586]

Whats the point in doing it ?

[@marbinmusic]

To become fluent in switching subdivisions while improvising

[@paullennon8586]

@@marbinmusic switching subdivisions ?

[@paullennon8586]

I'd love to know what subdivision is

[@marbinmusic]

@@paullennon8586 a subdivision is the metric of a pulse in music. 1/8 notes , triplets and 1/16 notes for example are subdivisions of a beat. What we do is slice a piece of time to equal units and use those smaller units put notes on in our improvisation

Great lesson, Dani, thank you! For those who want to go more in depth with this, I highly recommend drummer Asaf Sirkis’s series on konnakol and how it applies to western music: kzbin.info/aero/PLaq6h18rnEfXpwbOWwidMQPUvgds-7LSp&si=vUVJii6hNwccCnqh
