@Ragnarockalypse3 жыл бұрын
I have a way of making slightly dumbed down explanations of some Meshuggah riffs for myself. Here's one for the outro of Lethargica. I think of the riff as a steady rhythm of dotted quarter notes over a quarter note pulse. That creates a "three over four" pattern where every other note is on or off the beat. Meshuggah do a similar thing in most of Swarm, in the verse of Sane and prominently in the solo of Clockworks. The interesting thing about Lethargica is that they are doing the same pattern, but not playing every dotted quarter note. Try tapping along to the rhythm of the riff, and keep doing so even through the last note of the phrase ringing out. The next phrase will start on one of those dotted quarter notes.

@@Ragnarockalypse that’s a good way of looking at it. I think that Lethargica’s outro is rather easy to follow, however - that snare keeps moving and I cannot follow it after a while. I know that it’s a steady 4/4 beat, but it still somehow manages to escape haha

They have the musical feel of gods. I really want to play by feel and most of the time it works out, but some stuff that Meshuggah and Gojira do, i just can't get it down with feel. The intro to "Art Of Dying" by Gojira is still mind-boggling to me, i can't get it down by feel and i have to constantly count it and focus to the max. If i don't, i skip one beat and there goes the 45 beat phrase. No idea how Meshuggah can write their songs from feel.

That ending fill is so tasty because it feels like its going to land right on the 1. But the guitar note that it lands on is slightly after the 1 and the drums pass over the 1 and accentuate the guitar note instead. It gives you a nice jolt. Im not a drummer so I dont know how to describe it.... but thats why it sounds so cool to me... and also because he starts riding a different cymbal after that.

As someone with next to no musical background, I couldn't tell 7 sixteenth notes from four eights in the second riff. The little tad they cut those blows and melts my mind :'( P.S. Did you purposefully film the explanation of the drummer's perspective with "I might be wrong ..." T-shirt? That was hilarious!
@TheSquareOnes3 жыл бұрын
There are eight sixteenths in four eighths (which you probably know, but just pointing out since you said you had next to no musical background), so it is actually very similar in length. The main difference on a casual listen would be the "feel" relative to the pulse though, most people would tap their foot to the quarter or eighth note pulse which means that the odd groupings of 7/16 wouldn't line up with it. Every second 7 starts off beat, giving it an angular feel that can be very distinct even if you aren't actively counting the meter. As with most things the easiest way to really get this is to just do it yourself, tap along at the rate of the four eighth notes and see how the sevens go in and out of sync. This exact kind of angular seven (and five) is all over the place, especially in rock and metal, so once you get a feel for it you'll probably start to notice it in a lot of other songs that you may not have realized had odd patterns as well.
