very nice vibe, very calm teaching. thank you ! my only hint would be: perhaps start somewhere in the first minute by showing a complete "free" song that has these rhythmics. you already had a TASTER of this, but maybe a bit more of the actual music to which this can lead would be great !!! this can really inspire to wanting to learn this. if we as peolpe start off straight away with the "theory" or the broken down structure, it can be a lot =) lots of love

@@neilchanmusic Oh don't misunderstand me. I think it's obvious dude. Like in just the first 15 seconds of this video, you demonstrated rhythms more technical than the vast majority of western musicians would be comfortable with, including me! And you did it so...nochalantly, like you were explaining 1+1=2 to a 5-year-old. You should check out some prog metal/djent bands when you have time. Like, there are tons of bands devoted to taking metal songs and playing them in the rhythms similar to what you demonstrated.

@@jonathandoda8762 Hey Jonathan, hey no worries haha. Yes I'm still amazed as I learn new Carnatic rhythms each time, and the beauty is that it can actually be broken down into logical mathematical concepts! Sure they're complex, but once you get a hang of the rhythmic language it makes so much artistic sense. I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions, thank you so much! Hope to share more lessons and music with you in my future uploads :)
So the hand clap is the one, as in 4/4 western rhythm?
@neilchanmusic
4 жыл бұрын
Hi Paul, the clap is on beats 1, 5 and 7 in the eight-beat cycle. I would suggest you to think in cycles of 8 rather than 4, and use the respective hand gestures (angas) to keep track of where you are in the Tala cycle!
