Jazz Piano : Recognizing 11/4 Timing in Music

[erodelives]

nono...like is this a joke?

[pixelated111]

lol is he trolling us?? his bio says he's doing breakdancing...lol...

[manuelgasse]

Man...your videos are SOOOO funny !! People don't get that it's a joke ???? Wow...

[kirinphoebe1]

That was dull.

@gospelkeys07 For eleven I used to count: "One - Two - Three - Four - Not - Yet - One - Two - Three - Four - Now! - One - Two - Three - Four - Not - Yet - One - Two - Three - Four - Now! " Etc..

That's before this video, of course.. ;P

[cdssmac]

This guy has Van Gogh's ear for music...

[TintedRedFilms]

@celestefusion Maybe it's because it's all a joke. LOL.

[Panufo]

"Awkward" is the *mot juste* here. To be fair, his timing was more accurate than his uproarious treatment of 5/4, but somewhere Frank Zappa has coffee coming out his nose.

[jrtjazztrio]

@harryormemusic it is. there is one video in particular that proves it im pretty sure. At the end of this guys video, "how to play experimental jazz piano", the guy makes the most utter and recognizable troll face in the world but you have to pause the video at the very end. this is professional trolling

[bobhobbit]

At least this riff actually IS in 11/4, even if it's the most boring 11/4 riff I've ever heard. Not like the 5/4 video, where he's actually playing in 4...

[kubapluzek]

would you do it in the same way if you had 111/4?

[kubapluzek]

would you do it the same way if you had 111/4?

[GzoGzez]

I like the groove, but it's not really 11/4. It's two bars of 4 and one bar of 3. You could call it an 11 beat phrase.

[ProfMishka]

1001, 1002, 1003, chunk, chunk, 1,2,3.4.5. OK OK ok, that in an example of playing in 1005/4 time. A little unusual maybe, but doable. Next week I will be expounding and expanding on the thoughts of John Cage by playing my own composition entitled 4 minutes and 34 seconds!

[BallywalterBeats]

eh?

[alexdimaio75]

11/4: vuoi-mi-ca-che-che-e-7-8-9-la-­la... to',this is 11/4 from Sforzesca (Vigevano) italy

[anandthepianoguy]

Hello, today here I'm going to show you how to fool your own ear!

[mGg0815]

muhahah this is hillarious :D

[90zosoman09]

actually it was not as rare anywhere from the time of Wes Montgomery, B.B. King, even Zeppelin(i.e. Since I've Been Loving You, or I can't Quit you Baby.) up until the 80's this timing was actually pretty popular for songs used to change your album, or even show up a bit. Every now and then you hear a band that does it now a days too. So even though it's not as popular it's still very prominent if you look through music in general mostly soft blues, and jazz though.

[patturik]

Haha this is great. 

[brosky360]

nice 4/4 timing!

[WazaKaiSprout]

again i'm sorry to be so negative but dude come on. that piece was one block chord with like a dot of syncopation at the end. yeah its used in experimental music but where's the notes. then again at least this piece is actually in 11/4 not like that joke of a 5/4 piece which was clearly in 4/4

[slothedog]

comic genius

Expert: Austin McBride

Bio: Austin McBride has been doing Break Dancing for 4 years, featuring himself in about 6 clubs. He says break dancing is great for exercise and to impress friends.

^^^ This video is not real

[mrhanktheprank]

I love you!

[BreakOnTrough]

hahahaha :-D five stars!!

[Daggerhart]

This video totally has my approval. Well done Austin. I look forward to your next lessons.

[BboyElasticTekkenBoy]

u serious?

[theloniousinthenorth]

Damn! If only Miles had met you first. Excellent!

[3wrongnotes]

i bet he could even do 276/4 time and expert village wouldnt notice all the blogs about him. hes even made his own expertvillage called expertvillage2009

[OrangPeeI]

"Bio: Austin McBride has been doing Break Dancing for 4 years, featuring himself in about 6 clubs. He says break dancing is great for exercise and to impress friends."

wait. isn't he supposed to be teaching piano?

[davemarks]

this is a non lesson. For real dude.

[blobbhed]

Isnt your back supposed to be straight when your playing the piano??

[JulianMC09]

Thanks man. The video actually helped a lot. Recognizing akward time signatures really isn't that easy.

[1965JWP]

Wow, I finally understand Pat and Lyle's, "First Circle". I mean all these years, I just didn't get it. I wonder if this guy plays gigs anywhere, because if he does, we all owe it to ourselves to fly, no matter where, to enlighten ourselves.

[icemanhank]

pure genius lol

[drumsrock27]

it was definitely awkward, Austin McBride.

[TheImpulsiveCreation]

The piece played did not actually show the time in a way where it can be noticed.
