All you gotta do is grease it down and everything is fine.

"Celestial Terrestrial Commuters" by Mahavishnu Orchestra is in 19/16.

But, that one's not about keeping it greasy though ;)

Oh Man! Great, GREAT lesson! I played this tune when I was 14 years old! I was a prodigy and the bass player helped me tremendously! He worked it out exactly how you did with 323! And he kept me going when I stumbled a LOT in the beginning...YOU are such a wonderful teacher! The guys at MI are lu"ky to have you! You have an amazing bedside manner and can play the heck out of the drums! Thank you for taking me way back to some great memories!

Awesome video! I pulled up keep it greasy to practice the other day and for some reason I remembered it was in 17/16. I sat there for like 45 minutes trying to figure that s*** out and finally gave up. Thanks for this awesome exclamation! I guess it's my time was good enough, I could have played 17 against 19 and it would have worked out and maybe lined up once every 52 Bars LOL

"A Bar of 5/4 with one 16th missing" perfect. Its a bit like Spanish Moss by Billy Cobham, where you fall off the end of the bar the same way. 3:49 could be Balkan like ivo papasov. odd meter is awesome for soloists.. Aber beklecker nicht Das sofa, sofa!

Patrick O'Hearn described a better trick than "subdivide down to twos and threes", and that is to subvocalise some phrase with that number of syllables in it. So, for example, 11 would be |: I would like to go to the mo-vies to-day :|.

@nicowit8896 5 лет назад

Saying the pattern is 3, then 2 then 3 was a bit confusing until I saw the chart then it made sense ( right hand plays 3,2,3) . Should have said groupings of 7,5,7. Really like the addition of accents. Makes it sounds way more complex

@minifuzz5 4 года назад

nice one chap.

@weebgrinder-AIArtistPro 3 года назад

Never even noticed that this song had anything complicated going on with the drums. That's probably because I play bass but still, wow

@clydebillingsworth8574 2 года назад

It's a quick bass groove but us bassists would be ridiculously lost without a tight drummer on this.

@weebgrinder-AIArtistPro 2 года назад

@@clydebillingsworth8574 Could I ask is it best played for most bassists by incorporating the open A, or by using more fretted notes? I'm talking about the main riff of course. Thanks in advance

@clydebillingsworth8574 2 года назад

@@weebgrinder-AIArtistPro i can't pretend I know this too well. I play with four strings since 5 is hard to count. But this guy knows some Zappa and is much better at bass than I. I just figure get it real close and improv. I've listened to a lot of versions of this song and it's got a main line but the drums seem to be what holds it together. The bass has a bit more freedom. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IPvsNt6jsD4.html

@TylerHNothing 4 года назад

3:33 in your 2's / 3's approach: those types of 2's and 3's are actually 5's and 7's... whenever I hear a 2 like that I automatically think 5, and a 3 like that I automatically think 7 the 2 is actually 5/16, the 3 is actually 7/16. when you do 3+2+3, it's really 7/16+5/16+7/16 = 19/16

@deseipel0076 2 года назад

Yep agreed. That's the way

@jeffreypenis736 Месяц назад

yeah i think he was misinterpreting the 2s and 3s thing; it really means that each group of 7 is 2+2+3 and each 5 is 2+3, so the whole thing is 22323223

it doesn't sound like keep it greasy from frank zappa, though... nice lesson btw.

@stewartjean2066 4 года назад

jd bulciolu it’s a loop based on and inspired by the bass line at the jam at the end of the tune, simply something to play over. Thanks for checking it out.

I'm not a musician....but my gut feeling tells me that muscle memory is the wrong approach. Must be better to fully understand the math involved.

@biorage6670 5 месяцев назад

Muscle memory plays a huge role in music and instrument playing. Down the path, math will almost always be needed but they are not mutually exclusive or competing.

@yoddeb 5 месяцев назад

@@biorage6670that sounds like "winging it"

@user-jq4fz6co8b 3 месяца назад

Muscle memory is how you FEEL the groove. You can count all you want and know the math, but these things all have a groove, and if you can’t feel it, it’ll never sound right

@kpaasial Месяц назад

You don't understand how humans work. We learn something new using our higher brain functions, the "math", the mechanics etc. but in order to repeatedly perform the same thing correctly over time we always rely on "muscle memory", the so called long term memory. If you'd have to re-analyze something like this groove in your brain all the time while playing it, your brain would quickly melt.

@tdrum21 5 лет назад

Very cool. Ryan Brown did an amazing breakdown of the Zappa grooves. Borlai is pretty amazing too like you said. What do you for a breakdown of the 21/16 section in the song?
