Petrucci was my guitar teacher for 2 months on Long Island in the 1980’s before he left to form Dream Theater! He’s a really good guy. You could have a beer with him and not feel any Rock Star attitude.

No doubt Vai started with something much much closer to JIngle Bells than Pagannini's 5th violin caprice. Even Vai would never have become an even decent guitarist otherwise.

In indian Classical music we use the terms thakathakida for quintuplets 1- tha 2- ka 3- tha 4- ki 5- da It essentially makes the player have the natural feeling but still allowing us to play in various odd time signatures

@GeorgeMilkasIgore 4 жыл бұрын

For me works as : Ta Ke Di Na Don (easier to pronounce when playing). Combining 2-3 or 3-2 Now put this on 4/4 1)Ta Ke ta Ke Di (quint.) 2)Ta Ke ta Ke Di (quint.) 3)Ta Ke ta Ke Di (quint.) 4)Ta Ke Di Na don ta Ke (seventh.) Repeat 5-5-5-7 An exercise of fitting alternate values and cage them in westernized time signatures.. A friend studied Tablas in India tought me to think about music more openly like above! Helped a lot!
