![How to Identify Time Signatures by Ear [EXPLAINED]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CVRgEb4prQE/mqdefault.jpg)
Excellent stuff. I’ve written material on poly metric stuff in the past and had ignorant comments telling me to just call them polyrhythms… but they’re not! They’re polymeters!
Thanks man! Huge fan of your channel and transcriptions btw, I remember trying to learn all those Michael Romeo licks from The Guitar Chapter when I was 18.
And yes, polyrhythm and polymeter get confused all the time. There is some crossover between the two in some cases, but not here!
I've listened to this song so many times, but I never knew it's 5 time signatures in this section. Shows the level of excellence from Symphony X that can pack so much complexity in the same spot but still sound so smooth that you don't notice something is odd.
The fact that it flows so well is quite impressive!
This part of accolade is very similar to a one song of Kansas called Miracles out of nowhere in 2:20. Michael Romeo already said about liking Kansas. It's very beautiful to see artists inspiring from each other in a creative way.
I’m not familiar with that song, I’ll check it out!
@@TheProgSchool great channel dude. Please check it. Kansas leftouverture is a great album of US prog rock
@@motoboydohabbibs3153 I’ve listened to the album before but it’s been a minute!
Such a fantastic band.
They really are!
another great video thanks man. you'll be at 100,000 subs in no time. your explanations on subjects are great
Thanks!
Symphony X's music is heavy, beautiful and genius. Subbed.
Thank you! They're one of my favorites!
This is it a Masterclass !!! I have no words !!!! Do it more pleaaaaase
Thanks! I already have a bunch of other masterclass style lessons, with more on the way!
Great work!
Thanks!
I enjoyed your video so much 😃 This is the song that introduced me to Symphony X, it has become my #1 band for 5 years now. I was in awe when I first listened to it. And when the song reached this very section, I had to stop walking and my jaw dropped totally! I am now at a stage where I start looking at the composition skills that underly these amazing feelings. So thank you so much for this awesome masterclass! 🙏🔥🧡
And I just subscribed to your channel 👍
Thank you! Symphony X has always been a top 10 band for me!
Awesome analysis. I've been listening to this song for years now, and although I knew something was up rhythmically with this section, I never managed to make sense of it. Thanks!
This part strongly reminds me of "Repression", by Anthriel. Might be worth a look sometimes!
Thank you! It is tricky to figure out what’s going on with so many parts happening. I’ll check out Repression!
When I thought the Polymeters I wrote were complex I suppose I was wrong 😂
There’s always something crazier out there haha
@@TheProgSchool Hahaha tell me about it! You should a "Favourite prog riffs of all time" video I think it would be cool honestly!
I was curious about them in your Riffing video, but now I *have* to check them out! Thank you, and awesome video!
You won’t be disappointed!
@@TheProgSchool I'm four songs into Underworld and they're already rivalling Jinjer for me. I'm scared.
What witchcraft is this, Morgan???
@@alfonzog6327 and that’s one of my least favorite Symphony X albums! You’re in for a fun ride!
@@alfonzog6327 What sorta Prog do you like? I can see if I can recommend you some bands.
@@benlockhart8721 I'm already pretty deep into the rabbit hole, stuff like Intronaut, Intensive Square and Therein are on my list alongside Haken, Dream Theater and BTBAM, but I'm open to anything!
Thanks dude, that's an amazing song. What do you think about the intro? It has some similar stuff.
All the instruments in the intro are in 9/8, except the violin which kind of floats over the bar lines. The Communion and The Oracle is another SX song that has a similar polymeric section in it.
@@TheProgSchool oh you're right, that's the same violin from the interlude, also the guitar in the interlude is the same as the guitar in Accolade 2 before the solo (just as a reference). BTW Comunion and the Oracle has a similar guitar riff, It would be great to have a video explaining all the time signature's changes from the intro.
@@noemario2348 I'll see what I can do!
