WHAT IS THIS?

Okay, so Adam goes on to explain what's going on... Still, mind boggled 😵

Excruciatingly painfully dull

The musical performance left me cold, but I am going to try Adam's tip to start 'feeling' quintuplets.

Oh, I get it, you don't like it 🤔

The guy is talented, no question. Self indulgent, probably....is there a point, who knows.

I don't think Adam Neely is self-indulgent. If you check out his YouTube channel you'll see he is often exploring fairly challenging musical concepts, but he succeeds in getting them across because he is an effective teacher.

I should rephrase myself on re reading my post....I actually meant the piece is self indulgent, not him.

Just a bit of fun if you ask me. Better than what’s on tv!

[John T]

Absolutely, no idea what's on tv these days though....

Fair enough!

Did somebody amp up a Gameboy?

Sounds like an 80s computer game!

I quite enjoyed that 😕.  At least he wasn’t slapping (which I can’t stand).

The only thing is he seemed to be using the term quintuplets to mean 5/8 or 5/16, but they are not the same. A quintuplet is playing 5 notes in the time of 4, but his musical examples were simply playing in a 5/8 time signature. Very confusing. But, being a mathematician and a huge fan of Balkan music I found this fascinating.

I found it intriguing , it's not likely to fit with the music I play but interesting nonetheless.

Space Invaders.

Not my cup of tea at all, but appreciate the guys skills.

He can play, natch, it's just not musical. Then again, it may be that he's just in teaching mode, who knows. 

That rediculous keyboard ruined it.  Someone should be shot

Sounds like my daughter playing Mario bros

Very much so - it's nice to hear something that makes you sit up and take notice.

Air-raid sirens do that to me, as do ice-cream van chimes.
Just sayin'.
