Joe Muscara Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I got an email this AM that was sent from the form on my web site. name: Expert Village email: expertvillage2009@yahoo.com comments: Since the link was obviously a safe, direct to YouTube link, I went to it. Lo and behold, who do I see, but a slightly older, Woody-Allen-er Austin McBride. Yeah, that guy. When I searched for the infamous video, I found he also teaches some other categories on the site, including golf and break dancing. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Joe Muscara Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 I hadn't watched the video he sent before I posted the above, and now I have. OMFG. You should see his example of a "polyrhythm." ROTFLMAO He also has a but I haven't watched it yet. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

zephonic Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 ROTFLMAO!!! It's not what you play, but how you count it. Priceless... gear list.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodyMary Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 What the hell?? First he's playing a 4/4 riff and counts it s 5/4, obviosly, it doesn't fit. Then he plays almost the same riff and counts with syncopations.."one-to-three-..ee..-four.." I checked his other videos. He doesn't play jazz any better than me. And I suck big time. Ok. I've checked his videos on polyrhythms. This's gotta be a joke.

Joe Muscara Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 I was thinking that his counting 5/4 against playing in 4/4 bit should have been in the polyrhythm video.

JpScoey Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 ' Take a look at this 'expert's' opinion of how a 'well-tuned' piano should sound. (bear in mind I've been a piano tuner for 27 years). It sounds like something from a wild-west saloon bar! http://www.ehow.com/video_4396905_tell-piano-tune.html I think this sounds better - this chap was a popular comedian in the UK in the 70's/80's, and was noted for his 'murdering' of piano tunes .....

The joke was very similar to Jo Stafford and Paul Weston's "Darlene and Jonathan Edwards" recordings... Click here if you're not familiar.

Dave Pierce Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 You can't mention polyrhythms without mentioning polyphony, which means many sounds. They are mutually exclusive, which means they complement each other really well. This guy's deadpan delivery is truly awe-inspiring. --Dave Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.
