      a legend is a lie isn't it? a tall tale told the children, a yarn spun from days of yore. it's easier to pass off a big fat lie as a "legendary" non-lie if -
      A) none of the names are changed to protect the innocent. or the guilty as hail. and
      B) everybody in the story and their immediate families are all dead. due to natural causes. after living long lives.
      remember to place the accent on the second syllable... leh-JHEN-daree. takes a couple tries but with practice you too can begin to speak of the leh-JHEN-daree and do so properly.

      Just gotta make sure that the others know they're acting as your metronome for the moment. Without some amount of warning, they may think they're supposed to slow down with you as drums are seen as the primary rhythm keeper.

      @MaggaraMarine 3 роки тому +5

      @@D3v1ance This. If someone slows down accidentally, it's kind of a dick move to just insist on playing in the original tempo, making everything sound out of sync. Even if you are correct, it's pretty arrogant to imply that "my internal metronome is the correct one here - you are the one that needs to learn how to count" with your playing.
      Sometimes people accidentally skip a beat or slow down/speed up or whatever, but no one in the audience will notice it if the band simply follows it. But if someone cares more about being "correct" than making the band as a whole sound good, then the mistake is also going to be noticeable to everyone in the audience.
      In other words, don't do this unless you know the musicians that you are playing with really well.

    Great video and love the breakdown about "using the band as your metronome." Benny Greb talked about doing something similar, in practicing with a metronome, but using the clicks not only as the 1/4 note downbeat on each count, but "misplacing" the click onto the "and" or spacing it off by 1/16, which creates a sense of playing out of time, but still in it, and allowing for some more creative development. Good stuff - really dig your channel!

    I think the “out of time” beat that the guy in the comment was referring to was a dilla beat

    3:44 sounds like they came from classical music.

    Back when I actually played j a z z, I would quote the soloist after they hit a lick.
    That or I’d pop a note on the bass and get peoples attention

    Holy shit, I heard Nardis and instantly I was like, "I'VE HEARD THAT SANPLED BEFORE!" It took me listening through the full song, but then it came to me, it was sampled in Madvillain's song Raid. RIP DOOM
