The depth, wisdom & musicality you bring to us is astounding, mixed with your penchant for Viking humor, you can’t help but enjoy & absorb it all- fantastic share, IA!
I'd like to propose song titles for these wonderful examples you come up with ( or even future example titles for you ). I'd like to offer one title for the future: " What's a 16th note like you doing in a bar like this? "
Soundtrack to how it sounds when you walk down the stairs, miss a step, fell down on your spine and end upp in hospital. The calm part in the song is when you are reciving liquid painkillers. Maybe? Anyways. Great job and thx beautiful guy
You never cease to blow my mind with something outlandish sounding, with a basic explanation that changes my perspective of the timing. Such great content from this channel, You Rule Mattias!
If someone added nested tuplets to it, a Indo/Nordic/Viking Demon would be evoked, carrying a Berklee's Degree and the whole Spastik Ink's discography on shuffle. On a serious note, you are the man and you've the ability to teach very complex biz with fun and passion. Greetings from Italy! Ps: nice Quake mug ;)
It's damn weird to see how I can understand everything when you're talking. Then you start playing and I become completely stupid and lose myself in the first bar.
I was completely and utterly lost throughout this one (both in the music, and rhythmically!). I'll come back to it once I've woken up more - and still probably be lost (!)
Mind blowing! Love your kannikol videos. I’ve been playing music for about 35 years and this rhythmic conceptualization is really challenging the way I understand music. It’s both fascinating and unsettling. Do you notate any of this??
It is indeed a love game! I am currently dusting Doom Eternal for all the secrets, but then... Dusk! (Had the most intense TDM:s in Quake Champions today. Absolutely wonderful and cleansing. Yihaaa).
Actually there IS a life-saving code used here: chord freeze. One doesn't have to care about changes (as is also the case in Indian classical music, of course!)... On the extreme opposite take Giant Steps - 4/4 but with non-functional chord changes on each beat; everyone knows it's a "nightmare mode" piece. Somewhere in between, I'd say, Distant Hills: also not so obvious, non-functional harmony, but changes on every downbeat of the steady 11/8, so the harmonic rhythm still feels pretty naturally, you don't have to REALLY count, just play. If one tried to push too hard in both directions at once, both rhythm and harmony, I guess that would be trouble...
Great job I loved . I have a question I'm also a drummer how did you come up with the drum parts and blended it so good. Second question how did you choose a mode or scale to develop a melody structure and then develop you great solo . I'm also an piano player and keyboard player . Thanks for your time.
Oh, I wing stuff as I go along. Of course I am aware of what I am doing but I can never really tell the outcome until it is mixed and mastered... and that's the beauty of it!
Rythme exercise time \o/ ! Can you please give the notes you use for the lick ? You start with G and it's also G for your right hand if i'm not wrong but then you go too fast ^^'
@@mattias_ia_eklundh its not helping T_T i'm so wrong I think I will continue to clap my hands XD Edit : Yiha i got it ! It's actually not so difficult, I panicked for nothing.
Mattias, the way you explain is so good but I get confused as soon as start playing hahah Is there any vídeo where you explain the basics of kannakol? Or any channel or video that you know where explain the basic stuff of the konnakol? Thanks Man! Your music is too inspiring 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Oh, there's lots and lots of stuff out there, but start with a few simple phrases and walk it and talk it every day so it gets under your skin. Then you can do anything.
@@mattias_ia_eklundh I will start from simple stuff and try to count until become confortable. Thanks for the reply and congrats for your music. I love listen to everything that you post here. 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Konnakol is merely a way to imitate a drum or the sound of a rhythm. (A brilliant one though). Everyone is doing it differently and I got my Indian friends to correct me every once in a while, but for this example it is fairly clear, just a sequence of growing fives plus a ta.
1000 cubits past my abilities 😮 I’m about to grab a bottle of Heinz 57 sauce a hunk of roast beast and start on this in, I’m to dumb to die mode. Following the if I don’t know what it weighs, I can pick it up mentality.
Kinda like shaving off just a lil bit of a pencil at a time w a straight razor, but ya do it 57 times to get to the refrain n then... o fk, I just cut off my left opposable thumb.
So do u actively count off in ur head? Or does it just kinda sync up after a second. This is my prob with weird time sigs. I just don't feel them some times. They good at times but for me to play is hard. Then again I'm an American mid aged dad of two that plays for pure pleasure.
Personally I do not actively count up to 57 when playing. My suggestion is to keep a steady pulse and keep track of how the rhythm changes against the pulse by using konnakol. The rest is just doing it a bunch and building confidence.
@@pendiculator thanks! That's encouraging ! Idk being I only play at home for myself I just play what feels good it's kinda like meditation for me. But I also love a challenge. So I'm gonna hit the wood shed on this.
@@bczarrockbeast6264 Great initiative! Writing the rhythms and konnakol down and circling the syllables where the beats land was also very helpful to me. If you start slow and spend some time with it I am confident you will get it.
@@mattias_ia_eklundh agreed. thanks for making some of the coolest music. I've listened to it for about 15yrs now. Blew my mind first time I heard it. And still you challenge my brain with complex counts lmao ....thanks man
@@mattias_ia_eklundh indeed... So commercial... I've been hearing lot's of mainstream pop music bands like Planet X and Serious Young Insects using similar time signatures... Edit: Serious Young Insects is an album by OTV and not a band...
@@mattias_ia_eklundh It's so commercial that Virgil should be playing drums for Britney or Gaga 😅... (I'm starting to understand that I didn't understand what you meant)... It's fun, though 😅👍🤘 ruclips.net/video/glO9MEBFIjw/видео.html Virgil playing in Brazil 👆
My mother just entered into my room and asked me why I was clapping and singing strange syllables... I told her I was watching porn, more simple to explain!
My wife get's into the room and asks me why am I clapping and singing "weird" syllables.....I told her it was Hejsan Svejsan time
Hejsan svejsan to the wife!
Every time I watch one of Mattias's videos my mind is blown. He's not only an incredible guitarist but an amazing musician. Very inspiring!
I think Dream Theater just felt a disturbance in the force.
Hahahahaha!
"It's divided into 19/16, 17/16 and 27/16 - your obvious choice of times"
Well... yeah... OBVIOUS :D
Yeah, well... hrm. :)
Toddler: Ta ta tu ta tu tu taa
Mattias: You're right, kid!
(*proceeds to write an insane piece of music)
The musicality of the melody makes the odd timing less obvious. I really like this piece, it has a vibe.
Really do enjoy these!

This may have been the first time i bookmarked a youtube video. great stuff!
I don't know what you just said but that was fantastic. The end where you were taka do tating along tickled my brain nicely
this grooves harder than most 4/4
You should collaborate with Marco Minnemann. He'd love this kind of thing.
Great work as always, Mattias!
I was going to subscribe but crazy time signatures and a Doom reference. Paused the video to sub.
Impeccable, as always, Mattias! Been a huge fan since '07!
Mattias Rhythmic Guitar gymnastics are Intergalactically Cool .
Great tapping riff, started grooving on it.
Thank you for making it so accessible!
I really like this! Interesting that it works/fits/sounds good in several tempos. Please, more of the good stuff! :)
You got it! :)
Whatever this was intended to be, an exercice, an experiment or a song, it's totally successful, I love the result!!
Thanks!!

You can do it. It's all in the head... Deep breath, keep time and just play. :)
Hicaro: You are much better than I am: I did not even understand what he was talking about, let alone the playing... :)
imagine Mattias taking the place of Fredrik in Meshuggah!!!!
thanks for the wisdom guru
Genius piece of work. You make these polyrhythms clear as polythene 🙃👍🎶
Nice loved this might try this out in a few
I was completely and utterly lost throughout this one (both in the music, and rhythmically!). I'll come back to it once I've woken up more - and still probably be lost (!)
Thank you, master
Beautiful solo.
My God I wish I understand time signatures like this
Always pushing it! So cool man, you inspire me to play way out of my comfort zone, thank you🤘🏻
Now time to listen to this whilst playing Doom on Ultra violence
F******ing GENIUS!!!! GOD BLESS YOU MAN!!!
Great stuffs! Love time signatures and polyrhythms!
As soon as you started describing it, I thought "oh, this sounds like classical Indian music"
Mind blowing! Love your kannikol videos. I’ve been playing music for about 35 years and this rhythmic conceptualization is really challenging the way I understand music. It’s both fascinating and unsettling. Do you notate any of this??
Yes, we write a lot of it down for the Freak Guitar Camp. 👍
Great ❣️ 🤗 ❤️ ✨
I love you!
Thanks so much for all those great videos and ideas.
Will you work on the next Doom sound track?
sounds damm cool! respect!
Mattias: Your obvious choice on time ...
Me: From now on ...!
Well, that's freakish :D It would take me a lot to memorize this pattern... Should we expect 137/4 or something? Or probably 19/7? :D
IA: "Ta-ki-ta, and so on. You'll get it!"
Me: "What in the what, what?"
I'm completly dumbfounded by this ingenius Master of rythm!
This turned out amazing! Your Indian skills are seriously great and it really helps understand. Hails from USA
"You fools, this isn't even my final form"
:)
Carnatic ...funk..classical..grind.
metal..👌👌
I need a "I'm not born yet" level.
You can make groove anything.... What do you think of making tutorials on kannakol ??
Oh, I am a mere beginner that use the little konnakol I know for my own selfish purposes. :)
Grooving with Pi digits as beats/bar experiment suggestion detected 😵
Mattias, if you like Doom, you're going to love Dusk. It pays homage to fps's of the 90s in a really good way.
It is indeed a love game! I am currently dusting Doom Eternal for all the secrets, but then... Dusk! (Had the most intense TDM:s in Quake Champions today. Absolutely wonderful and cleansing. Yihaaa).

Hellllll Yeaaaaah!!!!!!!! Keep on the longer side of the rhythm... but this mankind needs how to konakkol polyrhytm!!
Long structures ?
It's remember me the legend of Zelda theme.
It's pretty challenging too to be in rythm all the time.
You.. (fellow) viking... madman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaargggh.
This is going to take some work.
Love to see how you use konnakol, great feel and sound
Coming from you this is indeed a tremendous compliment, Henrik. Hope to buy you a cup of coffee one of these years and have a konnakol chat.
@@mattias_ia_eklundh Coffee and konnakol - I am in

What's up with the frets? Why are they slighty off cue, is it a micro tonal guitar

Hmmm... this feels more along the lines of The Ancient Gods Part One on Ultra Nightmare if I'm being honest. Insanely difficult but very rewarding!
"to see how long I can really feel it", that's what she said. Sorry, Mattias, love ya
I still need the invulnerability cheat to play at any of these levels.

Is it possible to play in a 21/16 time signature? (Meaning half of 42/32 of an answer to the reason of life and everything)
21/16 is as commercial and doable as anything else! I would divide it 4+4+4+4+5 to start with. Try it!
