Choking from depression, laying on a couch crying, a rythm analysis of my favorite band since I was 8 years old made me smile. thank you. ❤

With both 40 and 30 being divisible by 5, I was almost disappointed no quintuplets showed up. Almost. Mostly, I was relieved!

I seriously thought when did meshuggah win a Grammy, dayumn

Discovered Shakti within the last year after Sungazer played Vital Transformation by Mahavishnu Orchestra on their tour with Plini last year. John McLaughlin is a nutty genius. I'll have to look into the others in this band

I love metric modulations and this is just a phenomenal example of it. Great video!

this is very good explanation and example of metric modulation. thnx!

Yogev! Much love brother

Shakti was the group that got me into carnatic music, and non-western music in general. Forced me to rethink a ton of stuff. I'm so happy this is a topic for one of your videos! And I have to mention Yogev's time playing in the Berklee Indian and World Music ensembles. I knew you from Distorted Harmony but seeing you play in those groups exposed me to a lot more stuff to appreciate.

Wow. This is genuinely impressive

Very enjoyable and informative. Thank you for all the hard work and making it look/sound easy.

Such meticulous and inspired work you do, thank you!!! This was the most surprising and entertaining course. I’m used to your deconstructions of metal song beats but this genre and your body double playing the tabla are wild!

man, youre the best! you made me discover gojira and opeth! my two favorite bands! thank you man

I really enjoy the Mahavishnu Orchestra, John was so ahead of his time, he really made a perfect bridge between weatern and Indian music

Awesome video as always :) thank you for all of the work you put into these! Would love to see you break down another Car Bomb track if it ever tickles your fancy. Or maybe a Pound track?

Awesome work, great analysis! This composition is in a carnatic tala Khanda Ekam

Congrats Yogev! ☺

I love how this is definitely NOT a Meshuggah song but you still use the card board 8 string guitar. 😂

The fun thing about metric modulation is being able to hear it, and I really can't in this case.

The same thing that made me fall in love with tool

Thanks Yogev for all the wonderful work you have done. As a guitarist, your videos have made me realize the world of rhythm can be just as complex, diverse, and fascinating as the melodic/harmonic world.

What an incredible piece/band/video. Thank you as always!

insane. inspiring!

this video is very good

“Let’s just go get food” ahahahahah 👌

Any thoughts on a tesseract episode? (You should definitely do it!!! Natural disaster has some devious time changes)

You da man yogev 🙏

I was expecting some Quincy Jones produced tune, you hoodwinked us ringing in John McLaughlin

The listener dictates nothing, and thats the beautiful part about it. If the tempo was meant to be unchanged, which I would argue was the intent, the listener just gets to enjoy the ride they get put on!

While we're on the topic of complicated Grammy-winning songs, I feel like The Alien should be mentioned. (Even though I'm really pissed that after years of making awesome music, they get the Grammy for such a mediocre song)

For me it's a calculated tempo change, I'm not sure I'd be able to accurately play the change myself, it would be more of an estimate!

Oooooo fun

If Shakti and John McLaughin can win a Grammy with an insane rhythm like that, anyone can

איזה הרכב אגדות אחד אחד

Who decides the tempo? The recording engineer, that's who!

I was waiting "Clockworks" by meshuggah :(

I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for your exceptional teaching. Your ability to break down such a highly complex and dynamically changing rhythmic structure was truly remarkable. Although I found myself grappling to understand even the first level of the intricacies you presented, I was profoundly impressed by your mastery and depth of understanding across multiple layers of complexity. Your passion and dedication to the subject were evident, and it inspired me to continue exploring and learning, even when the material feels challenging. Thank you for making such an effort to share your knowledge and for making complex concepts more accessible to learners like me. Your work is not only enlightening but also incredibly motivating. -ChatGPT

Yogev, as you know I love your videos (and your music). But I'm a little mystified why you decided to analyse a piece using Carnatic rythmic structures by using western concepts instead of looking at it from the perspective of Carnatic talas. Of course, you can do that, but it's not likely that the musicians themselves are approaching it from a "time signature + tempor" perspective ....

8:42 this is the moment when i realised i didnt get anything that was said in this video. this simply cant be 5

It is impossible for me to hear the intro as anything other than 7-7-6, with a 4-tuple over the 6 count. Beat is at 192. Sorry man, 5/4 is a big ask.

well, michael bolton won a grammy, so i'm not sure they really mean that much

4/4 fuck sake

NGL was kinda frustrated w this video... 1:20… you never play the full section, you keep breaking it up to count, and then when you do play the 7+3 together you count over it. We never get to hear the relationship of the 7 to the 3, which is key since the 3 is all downbeats. Let us soak in the full cycle before you superimpose on top on it. (as for the 5/4, I hear it as 14/8-14/8-12/8 with a duplet-triplet dynamic). 2:35… I hear this as 8/8+7/8, with the highest note being the downbeat. At 3:30 you count it in double-time, uncomfortable tempo, no numbers or rhythms to be seen on screen. 4:45… Describing metric modulation verbally is a wild choice considering this is THE absolute #1 channel for visual metaphors of rhythm. I understand it already but could not follow the explanation (yeah I'm a visual learner). In the end I'm unconvinced this is a 5/4... I'm hearing it at half the tempo you describe, in a slinkier groove that suits the awesome music, and 40 can be subdivided like a million ways, so I prefer to choose a time sig that describes the music not just counts it. I dunno, love this channel, this one kinda lost me, felt like a rough draft.
