For those who don’t get it, I didn’t understand the first time either, the audience is clapping on beat 1 and 3 but for the song they are supposed to clap on 2 and 4. The way he corrected this is at 0:36 he temporarily makes the song 5/4 time and adds a beat so that the audience claps on beat 2 and 4 when it’s switched back to 4/4 time, he does it seamlessly and that is a very impressive thing to do

I have a Jackson Browne bootleg of a solo show in a European country and they are clapping along, but very sloppily or on the 1 and 3. He stops the show and says something like 'If you want to see a grown man cry, then keep clapping like that.' Also the piano was tuned down a WHOLE STEP. I know people get older and can't hit the notes the could when they were young, but I was trying to play along and had to use the transpose key on my digital piano to get there. Still an awesome show. I wish I had seen him more when we were both younger...

Eh, that kinda rubs me the wrong way. The audience is probably mostly non-musicians, and they were just enjoying the music. To stop everything and put them down kind of throws cold water on everything.

So basically what happening is the audience is clapping on the 1 and 3 of the beat, which just isn’t something you do in jazz/swing music so what he does is he plays a single measure of 5/4 in the solo to even out the clapping so they start clapping on the 2 and 4 of the beat without them noticing. It was extremely smooth how he went about doing it

@@Gustavovisk21 Yeah sure! so :37 you see how it has the 5/4? Then switches back to 4 over 4? That's where he adds in the extra count so that way they're clapping on the right beat instead of the 1 and 3.

@JRCSalter 4 ай бұрын

3 or 4? Amateur. I've likely watched this a hundred times, had it explained to me by many people more musically inclined than myself, and I still have no idea what's happening. I'm sure it's just a joke being played by the musical community, and everyone else is too afraid to say the Emperor has no clothes ... except you and me it seems like.

@ZipplyZane 2 жыл бұрын

I often wonder if he did it intentionally, or if their clapping on the wrong beat caused him to slip up, and then he just naturally fixed it by adding an extra beat.
