You got me here just because of the thumbnail and now I’m accidentally learning about the fundamentals of rhythm wtf

[Cjtormey]

The fact that you made the script fit within the rhythm is a subtle beauty

I love the borked songs to show examples while avoiding copywrite. Awesome lesson

One of my favorite things in music is that 3/4 and 6/8 are completely different time signatures even though they are exactly the same thing.

Okay, i admit i clicked NOW because of the thumbnail. Thank you! This was very informative - again! You are such a fantastic teacher, and as soon as they are old enough to understand english, all your content (the informative ones, the musical ones they know already) will be on the program. Hope to see you!

The ACAB structure is damn solid music theory

[SAVANTI]

This is the best explaination of Rythym i've ever seen.

As a person who has Disabilities this was the most clear cut, well spoken, non difficult to Interpret video i've ever watched. Thank you.

Flawless thumbnail game, bro. Flawless.

I was munching a snack when I hit play and now I'm chewing pretzels in time with the demonstrations.

I'm a percussionist and I own two Flexitones. They are painted black so they are almost invisible when played in a dark venue. This often means that people can't see what is producing the sound.

I was just thinking of this because intro to theory classes only barely scrape the subject. big love.

Jeremy, finally someone that explains time signatures in a way I understand. Thank you! Been looking for this FOREVER.

[Trayzonne]

I think this is one of the most complete (for beginners) and concise video on the subject ! Great job ! I knew about the polys but your video helped me spot the differences between polyrythms and polymeters more clearly ! thank you :)

Todays public service brought to you by Jeremy Blake. Thank you sir, I feel so much more informed.

I really appreciate you intentionally pointing out that we deal in a specialization of western music. So often I see videos like this and they just say "this is how music works" and it can lead to some really problematic thoughts around music and other cultures ❤.

As always, your educational work is incredible

[verficationaccount]

I AM smart and good-looking - and I surely will use this tutorial for years to come for inspiration and learning. Thank you!

The 'Bass=Life' part at the end was a very good tidbit

[moldy_pirate]

I genuinely wish I'd had this video when I was a musical novice, it'll be a great resource!

[reddusk]

That was excellent, learned a lot, it's like I've done it all but also done none of it, filled in a lot of holes in my knowledge and led me to what I should be learning and focusing on next.

I do know most of this, or did, but it's so good sometimes to have things reiterated to firm up ideas we already have stored away somewhere. Going entirely by instinct, I tend to do the same things over and over and fail to access parts of my prior knowledge. Thanks for this.
