A few questions for our Teachers or experienced players ā¦
Is that correct to say that if I keep my steady beat and divide it into 3 notes then to have hemiola I keep my beat steady but I play 2 notes instead of 3?
Am I doing correctly if I just tap my foot consistently and from playing 3 notes on each beat I just start playing 2 notes on that same beat?
And is it correct to say that it gives a 2/4 feeling?
Google says it gives a sense of shifting the accent but concretely doesnāt the accent remain on the beat?
@Richard_close2u Itās Golden by Huntrix, I was frustrated by not being able to work out picking or strumming patterns for the first verses, none of my patterns were satisfyingā¦and I could hear the thirdsā¦ Then thereās a point, when it goes like āI was the queen that I meant to beā where the drums do something different and the feeling changes in the next phrases. A vocal coach on YT in his reaaction video analised the Rhythm too and mentioned Hemiola for this partā¦
My doubt isā¦do I have to count 1-2 x6 Ć2times but maintaning the same 4 beats or just 1-2 Ć4times which is way easier?
The Vertical Hemiola mentioned in the video seems to fit in my case. I think that with a bit practice I should be able to say if my Rhythm pattern feels like the recording or not.
Yepā¦thatās it @BurnsRhythm, it seems to fit ! The fact that I can sing along makes me feel Iām nailing the original feeling.
I find it so interesting to find out how a pop song uses a baroque music trick to contribute to make it so catchy to the ear @Richard_close2u ā¦though I read somewhere it would be more correct to call this a āpolirhythmā more than āhemiolaā ā¦whatever it is called it actually is a cool trick to create dynamics and make things sound more interesting!
Off the top of my head I believe this technique is in the fingerpicking of Never Going Back Again and Led Zeppelin use similar in Black Dog among other songs of theirs.
