  • @althejazzman
    @althejazzman 8 місяців тому +4

    I don't think it's 16th note swing, it's a quintuplet swing, so each beat is subdivided into 5, and accented on the 3rd and 5th of those subdivisions.

    • @NZsaltz
      @NZsaltz 8 місяців тому +19

      16th note swing is just referring to the 16th notes being swung, not the amount of swing, and frankly I don't think the swing is calculated. It's way too fast to accurately do that, especially listening to the ghost notes in the drum groove. They're probably just feeling it.

      @tcapmusicgf296 8 місяців тому +8

      @YTSparty@@BenLewisTranscribes If you listen real closely, Louis and Rai are deliberately playing just a "smidge" (is that a musical term??) behind the beat. Mononeon, seems to be playing right on the beat for the most part - bringing the ultimate stank funk by emphasizing the "1"!

    I don’t dig the vocals or the sax. Not saying they aren’t talented. I just would have preferred a different flavor with the music. The sax felt forced, even though they held it back in the mix (good choice). And the vocals made me uncomfortable. It was generic, if that makes sense. Just my opinion.
