What was I supposed to get? I thought it was pretty straight foward.

5/4 is easy though once you get it right a few times. Usually the accents are on 3 and 5. Since they are syncopated weird between the bass and guitar it might be different though.

Quite a bit. I've been playing classical piano since 11 and started playing Jazz a year and a half ago.

[QUOTE=Che Guevara]the only hard thing is getting used to the 5/4. Its really not that HARD so much as throwing off my down beats. Its good practice. I should have been doing this kind of stuff months ago

A huge :rolleyes: to this post.

o shut up toaster. i have this same running joke with moses

Yeah, it's a mean joke too.

The only song I always skip is "Die Eier Von Satan"..

1. It's a receipe about cookies, or eggs, or something...I think..
2. I don't know German..
3. Hitler is annoying, and so is the dude reciting the receipe..
4. I like the message of how you can read a phonebook in an authoritive way, and get people to follow you...but I don't want an example..

hmm.. It doesn't quite seem like it but I'm not gonna argue.

Strictly translated Die Eier Von Satan means the egg from satan, so I think its a recepe for deviled eggs

yea, i try to stay away from arguements nowadays online. It just winds up as me blocking people in the long run :lol:





edit : actually gtrguy. Ive seen the translation. Its for like hash/weed brownies, but with NO EGGS


apparently un kiner eir means "and no eggs"

I'm officially back into Tool.

I listened to Aneima all the way through and remembed why I loved it so much.

I only like a couple songs off ten thousand days.

I'm looking forward to that Undertow on the dailyupload

Lateralus isn't my fav but has some good tunes.

I know... the song doesn't makes much sense witht the title.

und keiner eier.

Triad is a bad bad boring song.

[QUOTE=Che Guevara]anyone else learning Vicarious on the guitar?[/QUOTE]
Yup. Finally getting that triplet down.

I can't play Tool songs, they use all these weird time signatures that I don't know how to count, I'll just stick to 4/4.

[QUOTE=ShadowMan]Yup. Finally getting that triplet down.[/QUOTE]


Where's the tab for Vicarious?

[QUOTE=Diabolus in Musica]hmm.. It doesn't quite seem like it but I'm not gonna argue.[/QUOTE]
All they are doing is playing in 10/8 and accenting different notes. Trust me I know my rhythm, they weren't doing anything hard or interesting. Of course I'm probably just spoiled by listening to Chick Corea all the time, now that's some interesting stuff.

Their melodies are pretty much the same as they've always been and that "Meshuggah" part was the simplest part of the song. I don't see what's impressive at all.

[QUOTE=RideTheSpiral]Triad is a bad bad boring song.[/QUOTE]
I agree. I still listen to it when I'm playing the full album, but it really could have been so much better.

How do you know its in 10/8? It could very easily be in 10/4 with a fast tempo.

Because a conductor wouldn't conduct it that way, that's how you determine it. It's also not in 5/4 because of the accents.

[QUOTE=Moses]Because a conductor wouldn't conduct it that way, that's how you determine it. It's also not in 5/4 because of the accents.[/QUOTE]
You don't conduct differently because of what type note gets the beat. Do you know the difference between simple and compound time?

Ill stick to counting it in 4/4. :lol:

[QUOTE=Diabolus in Musica]You don't conduct differently because of what type note gets the beat. Do you know the difference between simple and compound time?[/QUOTE]
I don't, please explain.

Bah, Tool loves time sig changes..IT kinda bugs me.
In a good way though.

[QUOTE=Diabolus in Musica]You don't conduct differently because of what type note gets the beat.[/QUOTE]Correct. As in a compound duple and simple triple are the same.

[QUOTE=Futuro]Correct. As in a compound duple and simple triple are the same.[/QUOTE]
not really, in duple compound there are only two beats but they are divided into three parts while simple tripl has three beats divide into two. for example 6/8 is duple compund the dotted quarter gets the beat. When you see three eighth notew in row in the beginning of a measure it you count it one-la-le. In 3/8 the eighth note gets the beat. and is counted one-te two-te three-te when you see a measure. The thing about any time signature in 3 is it can be read in compund or simple but the is up to the composer.


Edit: I'm going out for dinner, so I may not reply for a while.

Oh....Whatever... heh...

Well I always thought 5/4 and 10/8 were the same.
Same with 12/8 and 6/4.

*sigh* Theory, I can play in any time signature, I just don't care enough to learn about it.

They way you tell the difference between simple and compound is if you can divide the top number by 3 its compund, and the number you get after dividing the top number is how many beats are in the measure. in 12/8 there are 4 beats and 6/4 there are 2 beats.

Time for dinner later guys.

Cobham is the most impressive drummer I've ever heard, I just love Tim Alexander's creativity and listenability. So groovy.

Haha, wrong thread.

Ahahaha. Mind if I keep this here for amusement? Hahahahahahaah!

Please do. It'll amuse the gods.
