    It is always nice when some one just says, "look this is not as difficult as you are making it....let's just break it into simpler components." You rock man...Thank you

    I started taking sight reading very seriously because I was about to begin piano lessons and I wanted to be somewhat familiar with the basics. Except all the useful stuff like notes, semantics, etc., I began to watch Saher's videos about rhythm every single day until my lessons would start (this while was for about a month). I applied this knowledge building my own examples, too. My teacher told me it's unbelievavable how you grasped rhythm without proper guidance. Then I show him Galt. He told me very positive things about the tutorials, and also found the presentation extremely helpful.
    peace to all of you guyz and keep it up

    One's ability to explain complex things in a simple manner is evidence of his knowledge of the material.

  • @joebloggs619

    You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.Simplifying the complex by breaking it down into smaller clearer, simpler, easier to process units is what good teaching is all about. I am going to have to work on these complex patterns, I realise. But, at least I now know how to tackle them, though I still have an aversion to the ties and silent notes, especial when the come in certain places I don't want them in because they throw my mental processing off, which is probably why composers put them there to begin with. To make sure we're all alert and on the ball. Or wake us up, if we're getting too slack and comfortable withfamiliar, predictable rhythms, like are used in simple rock or simple repetitive folk music styles. Interesting videos exploring music theory, a topic many modern musicians find too complex and theoretical and abstract to be bothered with. But it's like a tradesman with a fancy piece of machinery he wants to employ to do the job but can't or won't read the instructions first, preferring to just dive in and do it, with less than satisfactory results.

    Sahir - Thanks for your explanation of how to disassemble a rhythm into beat units to get a steady pulse, and then reassemble it all with applicable ties. I found it so much easier to get into the groove without having to count endless 1& 2& 3& 4&s.

I’ve come back to this video a few times to make sure it’s deeply ingrained in me. Where is the first video in this series of rhythm? I’d like to watch all your videos. Great job in imparting the knowledge.
