SLyGeN Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Oh, this dude is being serious? I thought he was just another jackass making fake tutorial videos. Quote
WillRock Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 bahahaha thats joke Altho I think it may be a human ear fault - he hears it as 5/4 time and we all hear it as 4/4 maybe hmm.... maybe not XD Quote

Sinewav Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 HAHAHAHAHA! Oh god, it hurts. I saw it coming a mile away and it was still hilarious. The best part is that the advice he gives is actually pretty good, and it sounds like he knows what he's talking about... but then he mucks it up anyway. Quote
big giant circles Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Some people count to 5. Some people count to 3 and then 2. Me personally, I like to count to 2, then half, then 1 and a half, then 1 again. Quote
Dhsu Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Wait, what? I think he was trying to provide another example of something in 5/4. Quote
DragonAvenger Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I think he was trying to provide another example of something in 5/4. What Ridley's theme is in 5/4? I only know Metroid and Super Metroid. Quote
Moseph Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 What Ridley's theme is in 5/4? I only know Metroid and Super Metroid. Not all of it is 5/4, but most of it is. Quote
RoeTaKa Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 When I use 5/4 I think of the 5th beat more as the dramatic beat, most people naturally count the 4/4 and the 5th abrupts the pacing so it seems more uncertain. Depends how it's used though, it can give something more bounce. When it comes to time signatures when they stand alone they do their thing as they do, but when you combine them into a composition their uses become pacing techniques. I always count everything beat for beat, 5/4 and 7/4 have a similar vibe to me as the odd number creates an unforeseeable mood. Quote
Wiesty Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 lol, wow. This guy really knows his jazz....his riff was in 4/4. jesus Quote

Depends how it's used though, it can give something more bounce. Or alternatively you can use it to sort of mess with a waltz feeling people are expecting; a measure of 3/4, a measure of 2/4. There's a lovely jazz piece called Decoupage by the Stan Kenton Orchestra that plays with that a little. Even Take Five's classic piano line's first three beats makes you think of a jazz waltz. I love all those time signatures like 5/4, 7/8, 7/4, etc. A lot of fun to play with. Quote

Wow, I never knew that you could adjust the timing of a track just by counting over the bar, especially by breathing. I LEARNED SOMETHING. =D Quote
Cyril the Wolf Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Incredible... just... incredible. Also, Sam, that was in 4/4 No, but seriously, amazing video. I would have laughed harder if I wasn't still recovering from illness Quote
DragonAvenger Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Not all of it is 5/4, but most of it is. Ah right, I was thinking of the wrong theme. Makes much more sense now. Anyone I've shown the 5/4 video to is dumbstruck at how hilarious it is. I still want to know if the guy is series or pulling a bad prank, though. Quote
Sinewav Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I still want to know if the guy is series or pulling a bad prank, though. Ya know, behind closed doors, I've done the same thing while trying to get the hang of a weird time signature. I'm sure most of us have. I'm just smart enough to catch myself and make sure I've got the rhythm ingrained in my head before I do it in public. There are plenty of stupid, unaware people out there, so if this video is real, it doesn't seem too far out of the realm of possibility to me. Quote
Sam Ascher-Weiss Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I think 4 out of 5 dentists agree that if he IS pulling a prank.. it is by no means bad.. more like brilliant. Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I don't think he's pulling a prank; I think he's completely serious. Quote
WillRock Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I don't think he's pulling a prank; I think he's completely serious. Well there is another video of him doing an example of 6/8 timing, and he gets that spot on. Not sure what he was thinking in the 5/4 video to be honest, but he gets the timing messed up when he counts as well, so I'm assuming that he knew that he had made the mistake which raises the question as to why he would post it on the internet. Well, regardless as to whether it was intentional or not, it doesn't change the fact that the video is hilarious Quote
Moseph Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Well there is another video of him doing an example of 6/8 timing, and he gets that spot on. Except he says it's similar to 3/4, which is lol. And he says to play experimental jazz you just play like a little kid would. Which is also lol. Quote
Mustin Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 hahahah this guy is awesome. If he can't figure out 5/4 he'll never get . Quote
