I am from India and was searching for a tutorial on Konnakol. It's so amusing for me, being an Indian, learning an Indian system, from a "Westerner" applying the skills to heavy metal, a genre that is as different from any Indian music and philosophy as anything could be. Thanks for the lesson :).

Metal and rock have used Indian music theory combined with modern engineering quite commonly. It makes sense considering that Indian culture, religion, and classical music integrated into rock were all big in the time when this music was at it's peak.

This really helped me out with the odd time signitatures You are a great teacher Mattias, much respect.

Thank you for teaching me the name Konnakol. A hundred years ago I saw John McLaughlin, with someone else and Trilok Gertu, who sat on the floor playing tabla and various percussion. At one point in the show, all three musicians broke into this long and highly rhythmic "song" consisting of the spoken percussive sounds Mattias demonstrated above. Trilok was clearly leading it, and it was also clearly being improvised. It was fun and fascinating to watch, and now I know what it was.

Makes me proud to have such an amazing musical arsenal and such an amazing guitarist providing a metal interpretation.

one of the best lessons i've ever seen so far, so far! Thank you SIR!!!

Fascinating lesson, full of humour, be blessed !

sempre fantastico e utile, un genio.

LIKE A BOSS!! thank you for this short extremely educative lesson!!

Can't thank you enough. This video helped me to overcome a big limitation as a player! Thanx!

Grandissimo Mattias!

I'm learning this in one of my college courses! Glad to see this fascinating system being used on guitar and in the context of metal :)

you my friend is what the world needs more of ! loved it!

This vid really helps, after getting some of the basics of konakol from around youtube, watching a practical application is really helpful.

Very very very very good! Thank you very much!

Dude, metal is not my thing. This was fascinating, well explained and really enjoyable. Thanks man 🤘😷🤘

This is my new favorite video. I've watched it 6 times today.

I freakin' love the use of syncopation by Mattias. Soooo heavy and headbangable!

Musica + umanità = Fantastico!

I really like the idea of playing "odd" signatures, but I think I may need to watch this 100 times before I truly get it. The other thing is that, around 5:30 when doing 5/4 your face looked like you were having a quiet stroke :O) Love the ideas, love that guitar, and love your generousity for teaching us all of this!

Loved every second of this video!!!’n

Yes! Indian music and rhythm for the win! If you use konnakol/bol and apply this to drums or other instruments, you can practice your instrument with just your voice and when away from your instrument.

holy moly, that guy is great! i haven't known him until now! clapping and stomping are great exercise for rhythm

I found out about Konnakol last night, very impressive stuff, I've always tackled rhythm in a similar way breaking everything down into twos and threes and using 'ja ga da' or 'ba ga da' for threes and 'da ga' for twos. Because you use a different part of the mouth for each sound you can bounce between different rhythms really easily.

Love the close up shots of his shoes. Those are some nice shoes. 🤣

Epic video ever. 2:07 best metal guitar method 😬

That guy is just awesome

The best lesson for drummers from a former drummer..

Thx great!

"Metalheads are very easy to confuse, idk why...i use to play drums as kid" like it's a prerequisite every single self taught guitarist has in their toolbox when they get into metal lmfao. Top tier humour by Mattias, as always. Great lesson also but still so much more to learn... Thanks for that

this guy is bloody awesome m8

getting schooled, wow! taki tenna, taki teena, didn't make sense until I heard the distorted guitar:) This is cool, drummers and bass players must be rolling their eyes, they know this already, us guitarists have to be hit over the head with taki tiinna to stay in beat. Very cool vid.:)

Awesome you are using and sharing konnakol in this way. A minor note, for five it is ta din gi na tom not sure what you are saying instead of din.

I do not like math metal but this guy knows much more than the average musician and probably is able to play anything.
