I've always enjoyed Adam's ability to explain more involved or complicated musical concepts and theory in simple to understand terms. He's a really good teacher. I knew he was a talented player, but I was still surprised during parts of this video with his speed and how just basic and simple he makes it seem! The drummer was great too! I'd love to sit in a room with them while they jam.. Ideally, I'd like to play too, if they felt like handicapping their abilities so I could keep up! Haha.

The traditional Hora is a 5/4 swing *exactly* like this (1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2) although much slower. They’ve generally been moved to 3/4 or 3/8 to simplify the transcription and reading. But “swinging 5” has been in the Balkans for centuries.

Hey, one thing that helped me a lot to feel quintuplet swing (or even septuplet swing) is to count using takadimi system or indian counting system (check out ben levin's great video on that)To count 5 or really 3+2 use Ta ki ta = 3 Ta ka = 2 That Way you CAN count way faster than with regular numbers

I often forget that Adam's a really freaking good bassist, simply because he's also such an amazing presenter/video creator.

Adam’s voice sounds very unusual in this video, probably because I’m used to hearing him through his microphone. To me, he sounds slightly sped up.

It's not the mic. The whole video (except the Scott parts) is raised in pitch a little. The song was in a higher key than it should've been, but not faster, so the speed is the same. And you're right about hearing it in Adam's voice. Not sure why this was done, I mean it's not like the video has copyrighted music or anything...?

The bots KZread uses to comb out copyright infringements might automatically mute the music in this video.

Julian Nanez As far as I know, Sungazer hasn't signed with any label. But even if they were signed that wouldn't apply here because this video's a live performance.

Thats crazy, ive been influenced by dilla’s whole unquantized drums so heavily, and i didnt realize we could put that into a time signature, i just had 4/4 and shifted some hats or drums an 8th note or something over

dude! that was so sick! adam neely is so inspiring to listen to! the concepts he explores with sungazer are just stupidly cool. i think he mentioned on his channel about a 5 on the floor (4 on the floor drum beat but translated to 5/4) it absolutely blew my mind! i never would've even thought about playing that when i do play in 5

Definitely check out Adam's youtube channel. I went dont that rabbit hole last night and was watching his videos for like 3 hours. Amazing talent, taste, and understanding of music and the history of why we do things the way we do.

You really have all my attention in all your videos, congratulations!!!

2 of my fave bassist on youtube in 1 video. This is amazing! I sub to you guys both!

Awesome! For me, it feels like a regular swing, but with the second half note a bit earlier :D i will study this, for sure! Thank you, guys!

Great stuff, my two fav bass channels going the collab way, yay! :D

I don't understand half of what Adam talks about but I love hearing it.

I honestly thought this was a video from Adam's channel until I started watching and pleasantly surprised :D

Didn’t know Adam could shred like this! Props man!

I think all Adam subscribers forgot how much this guys rocks with a bass.

Really cool to see Adam Neely doing an education video with a more practical focus, as opposed to his usual theory geek-out. I love both, but this style is interesting.

Thank you very much you just restored my faith in music

This segment on subdividing 4/4 into quintuplets was great! If you have watched/listened to Jacob Collier (and really, who hasn't by now) this is something he loves to do and talk about, but it didn't "click" with me until this video. It was really helpful to hear it slowed it down! It got me thinking about how, usually, odd time signatures like 5/4 sound off-kilter. But somehow, speeding up the 5 and integrating it into a 4/4 structure makes it sound funky, but yet it still sounds "correct" too. Anyways, this seems like a great course - really quality content here.

Great stuff, really clearly presented, thanks a million.

This has been very interesting! Will work on this! Sounds great!

i keep coming back to this i love this so much

This is awesome! Adam Neely is ridiculous, as in ridiculously talented.

That is awesome. Great collaboration

First of all, Great music and great playing! Back in the mid 70's a friend played for me an LP of the Chocolate Dandies recorded in the 20's. There was a piece that had this swing rhythm that was more choppy than your regular swing, a very distinctive feel. Well that must have been quintuplet swing or something similar. It was fantastic and I never heard anything like it before or since (until hearing this video and Adam's videos on this subject).

Nice!!! Thanks for sharing this, Scott

I think Footprints uses that thing in the head even if it's in 6/4. But it's very well explained here. I loved it.

Love this lesson! Thank you!

I could listen to that song all day. Literally.

I didn't realize they are doing this thing with drums and the synth. Cool!

I didnt think adam had such wicked chops, he should do more stuff like this on his own channel

This is just so cool! Damit.. I needed to get some sleep, but now I'm just so much into j-dilla. Those quintuplet patterns are amazing idea of really practicing how to find all those accents. This is the world that just opened up. Outch. Need to get some sleep. 😵‍💫

Sometimes he seems like a guy who isn't realyl good at music but KNOWS a lot about it.......... then tries to teach people who are good at music. This is a VERY subtle back of the mind type thing. It took me like 5 days of watchign him to realize he was this good, and it's not even HIS CHANNEL! I GUARANTEE he would get more first impression viewers to view him more often if people immediately knew he was this good. Please someone who he will listen to should give him this advice.
