Thanks!

Good stuff, Ken! The drumming is awesome (obviously) but I also really like your guitar work! I'm so envious of your wonderful musical ability. :)

[janken919]

Thank you so much, you're too kind.

[Surazalsevastra]

with the guitar the hihat is unneccesary and throwing off your timing making it awkward. i recommend removing that and adding doubles with the bass.

[janken919]

Maybe, it's a little awkward I think because I need more practice, plus I came up with the guitar after I recorded my drums. That riff was the best I could come up with at the time. Thanks for the feedback!

[janken919]

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. Well, momentum is building w/the videos & book every day - stay tuned!

Your example is really cool and sounds great. I would probably write it in 6/4 time. In your hands, you're getting 8:6 (4:3 X 2) with the 16th note subdivision and a displaced half-note pulse of 3:6 w/the backbeat (landing on beats 2, 4 & 6), also creating 8:3:6 in the hands combined.

The feet are essentially playing 2:3 X 4 if you think of the 8th-note pulse ... more

[wildbill1240]

ok cool...when it started out I had no idea how that groove would fit into any sort of music but then it made sense at the end when you put the guitar in. Creative as always!

[janken919]

Thanks, it's a little rough. I had a tough time coming up with any music, nothing seemed to fit.

[janken919]

Just something I wrote today, it still a little choppy.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

i think this groove would sound fuller if you played some ghost notes on the snare

[janken919]

Yes, you're right. I find it difficult to add anything when I first learn something like this, it throws me right off.

Thanks for the feedback.
