Balkan Guitar Lessons - Odd Rhythms How To
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 січ 2017
- This is my first in an upcoming series of lessons for playing Balkan music on guitar.
In this lesson I show you my approach for breaking down and playing odd meter rhythms like 7/8 and 15/16.

The 15/16 stuff was insane. I really think you could be a balkan Adam Neely, which would be beyond amazing. I just noticed that I am 2 years late & that you didn't upload very much stuff, but know that people really appreciate it. Cheers from Romania.
Hi, I'm form Balkan but still have to watch this lesson to learn how to play and feel that crazy rhythms. Nice job man.
Great Lesson! Thanks so much. I'm gettin into balkan music for the first time and this was just great for getting the feeling.
The musical theory of Europe uses the Divisive method, arising from the dance bar, where we evaluate rhythm from the cycle always subdivided into pairs (which may contain odds internally). Africans use the Additive method, where rhythm is thought of constantly and uninterruptedly, that is, musical time is a 1/1 bar that repeats itself to infinity with cycles overlapping on this constant imaginary pulse... And Indians have Konnakol (the rhythm science of carnatic music) that thinks rhythm through subdivisions, making it much easier to think of compound rhythms. They mainly use the letters T and K to teach rhythmic vocalization, because they are the letters pronounceable faster. Making it possible to sing complicated subdivisions.
Knowing the 3 methods is liberating!
Fascinating insight into the different approaches to music! Turkish and Arabic scales and theory I’ve heard is fascinating too.
Just discovered your channel. Please keep it going! All of your videos are gold! Rarely covered on guitar.
Thank you. Helped a lot. Greetings from Brazil
Man, this was awesome, i would love to see more of this as well as the other types of music u cited. Greetings from Brazil.
absolutely necessary
thank you so much, great class!
Amazing stuff man!!!!!
why is this not a bigger channel :o .. this is awesome!!
Wow, you're an amazing teacher!! Very nice approach, and way of talking. My only wish would be "Chapters" in the video description, if that makes sense to you
Great lesson (and playing!) Thanks for taking the time.
Great tutorial
Just amazing the way you teach its so simple!
Thanks so much for making this video! Very helpful
great explanaition, you made it really easy to understand and your playing sounds dope
Awesome lesson and impressive playing. Made the topic sound much clearer to me now. Keep going, mate!
Great lesson, thank you very much! Hope you are doing well and upload more videos like this one!
The metaphor you used with one leg being shorter, reminded me of an old music teacher of mine at school, that described to us odd rythms like music that someone drunk would very easily dance.
thx man great help!
Thanks for the video, very useful! Helped me understand 7/8 a bit better.
Boss amazingly explained ....brilliant..
My salute and "Pranaam"(when you bow down with greetings and full respect)
I am from India..this Pranaam word came from Sanskrit Languge....in urdu it is called "Salaam". سلام
cool man. well explained. keep on
Great video, i kept finding myself stuck in the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7>repeat groove but the part with the fast break at the end really drove it home in terms of how to feel it
Than you 🙏👍🏻
I love the way you make things simple to understand when you explain them. I really want to go into a deep dive into other countries and cultures music theories and you have really helped a lot! Where do you recommend learning other music theories than the classical western theory?
Great job. Very easy to follow. How did you know which slice of the pie to take out for the 15/16 one? It is not just taking out the last beat.
I'm just starting guitar and didn't quite understand other youtuber explanations of rhythms, but it just clicked for me. Thank you. I came here almost by accident, originally i was looking for Balkan/eastern European/Turkish or gypsy guitar music that might be appropriate for a beginner. Is there any chance you could point me to a resource for that?
excellent lesson Sir!!! could you let us know what guitar make is the one you're playing? much appreciated
Thanks a tonne! I've been trying to learn this style and there aren't much good resources to learn from. I really hope this series continues. *Just a small note on the volume if you could make it a bit louder please :)
Thanks! I'll check out the volume for the next one.
I think that mentioning the 'flamenco watch' is needed. Many flamenco 'palos' (ostinato patterns) are 12-based
Aaron I don't know, but sounds like Guitarist Al Di Meola is also influenced by this genre apart from Jazz, Blues, like he also does a lot of syncopcation..
Do you make any videos anymore? 😊
when a new episode? :)
Do you have a pdf version of these?? :D
Or you use konnakol
