that third staff there at the bottom is a thing of beauty

[Lypur]

lol..

[Rreachh]

Nice explanation xD

um does your hands hard when you played on the piano I think my hands are starting to hurt when I player too much... >.>

[Lypur]

Yes, my hands would hurt if i played a lot. ^_^ take breaks, don't over play otherwise you could get an injury! be careful!

[philateliceun]

I have no idea were your talking about. I never heard about this ever. And I am no newbie. And I don't mean this in a bad way. I'm just shocked to find something that I just never ever ever heard about. Or maybe I'm just not understanding it properly.

[Lypur]

really? hmmm, you've never heard of these? there are many pieces that use this and it's taught in the 1st grade of theory here in canada. maybe you know it as something else?

My brother and teacher

thank you again

@Simonxp911

It will be with the same note, unlike legato which is with two different notes. E.g two As' with a tie is not a Legato because you cannot smooth transform from A to A, unless of course it was an octave up or down.

being a drummer makes rhythm easy for me, but like, the theory behind it, is probably the most confusing part of all this for me

[wodrummerworld]

@wodrummerworld OK I'm back ( but have to leave soon) when there is a REPEAT sign , the double bar could end in the middle of a measure, repeating back to the pick-up beat(s). Otherwise, you finish out your measure with beats and rests, at least from the sheet/(drum) music I that just checked.

[wodrummerworld]

@wodrummerworld OK, hold on, guys, "borrowing" the note from the last measure and placing it over at the beginning seems a bit weird of a concept. Checking some pieces of drum music. There's usually a lead-in (or, excuse me, I meant "pick-up note" :), like a 7 stroke roll, in some snare drum music. Hold on, BRB :)

[wodrummerworld]

at 5:10 3 exercises don't pause too long to try to figure it out. Just go on to the answers, because he left out rests at the ends of the bars

[williamwolfcub]

why does he only respond to questions made a year ago ? :/

[shadow33abram]

@Simonxp911 a legato might be used when you play 2 different notes, if it is the same note, then most likely there's a bar in the middle

[MrJinairik]

Yes. The government loves to cover up it's eighth rest and eighth note with a quarter note! Hahaha

[Simonxp911]

The whole part about "ties", or joining the notes together with a line... How do you tell the difference between that and legato, that is playing smoothly, because that is also indicated with a curved line over or under the notes?

[snc162002]

Is that mean I still have to play that pick-up beat at the end of the bar?
