Decoding Rhythm: how to play rhythms that seem hard (but really aren't)

We learn how to play rhythms that appear more complicated than they actually are. Turns out, most rhythms are just wearing an elaborate disguise--using ties and rests to obscure a pretty simple nature underneath.

Rhythm video #1: • Play any RHYTHM easily...
The technique we use will train the eye to keep track of the beat, turning rhythmic "clutter" into useful information. This is a big step toward the tremendously valuable skill of being able to look at any piece of sheet music and play it at first sight, while perfecting our sense of rhythm at the same time!
In short, we're sight-reading rhythms with ties, rests and syncopation.

I started taking sight reading very seriously because I was about to begin piano lessons and I wanted to be somewhat familiar with the basics. Except all the useful stuff like notes, semantics, etc., I began to watch Saher's videos about rhythm every single day until my lessons would start (this while was for about a month). I applied this knowledge building my own examples, too. My teacher told me it's unbelievavable how you grasped rhythm without proper guidance. Then I show him Galt. He told me very positive things about the tutorials, and also found the presentation extremely helpful. peace to all of you guyz and keep it up

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.Simplifying the complex by breaking it down into smaller clearer, simpler, easier to process units is what good teaching is all about. I am going to have to work on these complex patterns, I realise. But, at least I now know how to tackle them, though I still have an aversion to the ties and silent notes, especial when the come in certain places I don't want them in because they throw my mental processing off, which is probably why composers put them there to begin with. To make sure we're all alert and on the ball. Or wake us up, if we're getting too slack and comfortable withfamiliar, predictable rhythms, like are used in simple rock or simple repetitive folk music styles. Interesting videos exploring music theory, a topic many modern musicians find too complex and theoretical and abstract to be bothered with. But it's like a tradesman with a fancy piece of machinery he wants to employ to do the job but can't or won't read the instructions first, preferring to just dive in and do it, with less than satisfactory results.

I’ve come back to this video a few times to make sure it’s deeply ingrained in me. Where is the first video in this series of rhythm? I’d like to watch all your videos. Great job in imparting the knowledge.
