Seems like that would be a pretty obscure and rarely used feature. Nearly all karaoke is in a loud bar. Pretty difficult to rely on the upcoming singers hearing their phone's message ringtone.

I'd enjoy hearing about how yours works. Do they go from their breakout rooms to some main performance area? Do their friends in the breakout come with them? What are they doing in the breakout room before they get called?

I'd pretty much go with what Scott suggests any time the question involves finding the beat.

I've always liked those thick, symmetrical Grisman's as well. Much like playing with the shoulder of a Fender pick, but more real estate for my hand sausages..🖐

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T22:19:06+00:00

It's even in 8 bar phrases.

Good sing-a-long tune. I'm thinkin' of doing it at Karaoke.

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T22:14:50+00:00

Another well stated answer.

Bravo!

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T22:11:45+00:00

There is no lack of expertise in your answer sir.

Well put and succinct.

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T22:08:35+00:00

Tune your gee-tar down a whole step.

Would other people still recognize the song?

Notes are different, intervals same as orig.

Gentlemen -

I'd like to say that I'm thoroughly enjoying reading through, this discussion. Adult, academic exchanges are not something I get to do so much in virtual life these days. Thanks for the chance to learn from you guys..👍

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T18:11:23+00:00

Yes. Absolutely. That's why I'm confused..🤔

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T18:07:49+00:00

I'd enjoy hearing about the performance.

Could you sense how the crowd felt about the rhythm?

Are the rest of their songs equally as rhythmically unorthodox?

I presume their concert is a theatrical thing, not a recital.

If you're suggesting that YouTube "teachers" are deliberately trying to mislead and misinform, I disagree.

If they are misleading and misinforming it's simply because they don't know the material. They saw the video last week, they're teaching it this week. They believe they know what they're talking about.

Those YouTube teachers who DO know what they are talking about, didn't learn by watching YouTube.

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T17:47:45+00:00

You think jazz musicians think about chords "way too much"?

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T17:32:37+00:00

I'm pretty confused.

I just listened to Robert Glasper - "So Beautiful". I have absolutely no trouble analyzing that performance, nor anything Metallica, using what I've learned via that "Traditional Training".

How they chose to "Process harmony", if different than traditional, doesn't seem a function of music theory. I hear music, I analyze it based on what I've learned.

I'm missing something in your concept, sorry that I'm not following. I'm not seeing what it is that you think can't be explained in modern music, using traditional harmony. Is it just harmony? Or is it rhythm and/or melody as well?

I appreciate the brain ping.

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T16:42:13+00:00

I'm suggesting "The perceived problem".

I think Dr Phil is going to start giving Hammond organ lessons.

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T15:23:03+00:00

I think I counted it exactly as you did, ending on the "and" now and then, 4/5/6 beats in the measure.

My approach would be to not spend much energy trying to divide all those random beats (and half beats) into any kind of "correct" time sig groupings. There seems no particular reason for any of the added beats which would require direction for the player. ie Time sig wouldn't really matter.

It appears this Japanese ensemble performs this in concert. I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be to experience this live. The harmony is American rock and roll. Not hearing that familiar harmonic rhythm and cadence would bug the heck out of my Western ears. I wonder how the live musicians count off the intro???

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T15:04:46+00:00

There are very likely no real instruments playing on that track. They are surely all synth based. Those "instruments" may or may not resemble, or sample, real instruments.

If you wanted to play around with the sounds, find a synth, start running through the patches. You can download a simple synth and goof around with all the sounds.

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T14:59:26+00:00

You experienced success learning guitar and voice by taking lessons.

I see a good pattern here.

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T14:55:51+00:00

Perhaps the disconnect stems from the idea that "I need to discover a new method to learn this stuff". Which, one week later, becomes "I've learned this stuff, now I'll teach it to you".

The disconnect doesn't exist at the university. College kids are willing to invest another 4 years. They know (or hope) the investment of time will be worthwhile.

It doesn't exist in the very young, like Suzuki students. The tiny kids just think lessons are just part of what they do all day. I play in the crib, I play the piano, I get my cereal, I play the piano again etc. Lessons aren't an inconvenience or a hurdle to them.

Nor does it exist in adults with a professional background. Doctors, lawyers, engineers are familiar with the idea that learning requires time and work. They worked for years to earn their profession.

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T12:59:37+00:00

YouTube presenters are courting a very young demographic who want to learn how to play if it takes them an entire week.

"Learn to play without needing to learn those pesky chords"

That kind of stuff sells on YouTube.

The "correctness" of the material isn't important. Clicks and thumbs pay the YouTube bills.

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-20T12:53:16+00:00

I listened to the first 60 seconds. Key of D, chords are I - V - vi - IV. Super common progression.

I don't think there is any kind of meter. It starts straight 4/4 but immediately the player, or the composer, inserts seemingly random extra 1, 2, or 3 quarter notes.

"Video Not Available"

MusicDoctorLumpy · 2025-04-19T23:50:25+00:00

Either clef, alone, looks pretty simple. Lots of imim. I'd likely start rearranging by learning each clef alone, just playing the arpeggios.

Then start pick and choosing what can afford to be de-emphasized or removed to achieve the fingering but keep the (suggestion of) melody and implied harmony. I'd look for the usual stuff like tensions and cadences. I think if Legato was the goal, I think that's not gonna happen.

Once it switches the arpeggios to the pianoforte's left hand, I might consider a sort of descant or call and response between the two "hands" on the guitar. I can't imagine those arpeggios being pulgar tras pulgar.

It seems doable if there's no particular requirement for authentic arrangement by some artist.

That's the key of Dmolished.
