I challenge anyone to find a lesson in any format anywhere that explains this concept in a more complete and clear way. Can't thank you enough for this exceptional lesson.
Yo, love your videos. Please keep making them. Helping me understand more and more as I keep learning. Keep working, your helping more than you even realize.
I found this EXTREMELY illuminating and helpful. I write a lot of songs (rock, folkrock, etc), but I also write musicals, which is a whole different world, and which requires notation (unlike folk/rock, where I can rely on just playing my guitar the way I want it to sound). When, like Lady Madonna, I hear the music playing in my head, it has often been a struggle to notate it correctly in Sibelius (I tend to create odd syncopations and strange rhythms). As a result, I have been forced to compromise on occasion when all my efforts failed to produce a set of notes that corresponded to that internal melody. I really feel this approach has opened a whole new avenue for making that more realizable. Thanks!
I'm older but new to playing music. I like to play music, meaning enjoy music but to be good at it means having to work. The way you explained the work part of transcribing made it fun which means doable. Excellent explanation. I now have a way to practice (work) on my music while away from my instrument. It's like solving a puzzle, now that I can recognize the pieces I can construct a song visually . Thanks.
This is so good, I don't understand why this doesn't have more views. There are some really stupid videos that have over a million views, and this one doesn't have 100k. Really really helpful and thoughtful. I will watch all your videos.
It was really nice demonstration of Even meters, I guess you should continue with part B: Odd meters (3/4,7/4) and then Part C: Triplets and Swing 8th...
Just being able to do that 6-note subdivision so fast with your "mouth hi-hat" at 4:29 is impressive. 😀 It's hard to do with the tongue. Seriously! I have trouble determining whether to write something in cut time and sometimes even have trouble reading cut time. I understand what it is, but when I read 2/2, I'm still thinking in 4/4 and it throws me off. I was always told that cut time SOUNDS the same as 4/4, but is usually used when a piece is faster, and instead of writing a bunch of 32nd or 64th notes, cutting everything in half makes it easier to read. I also sometimes have trouble figuring out how to transcribe tunes that change meters every few measures or so. I can play them; I just can't write them. Then, of course, there are the really weird meters... Btw, here's a fun one by the Yellowjackets you might enjoy. No weird meter -- it's just in 4/4 -- but one of those tunes with a deceptive rhythm in the intro. In this tune, the deceptive rhythm is created by the beat on which the bass comes in against the straightforward rhythm the guitar is playing. It's an aural illusion: czcams.com/video/Aej5YiWW4Q8/video.html Anyway, great video. Thanks for posting it!
Is it me or 9:27 ... does the yellow square start about a 1/16th slower than the music ..this whole video was awesome, but it's messing with my head now
@@Shedthemusic Well, let me say again, it was an AWESOME video . Exactly what I needed this morning! .. it such a minor thing & if I'm the only person who noticed in 4 years, your good haha. You had me watching so intently till the very end!
I am confused how to transcribe this, or what rhythm this is: metronome set to 120 BPM 4/4, hihat on 16ths, kick on 1 and the and of 4 (simplified), and the snare only on 3. It gives a trap/hiphop halftime feel.. 8/12?
Helpful video, but extremely frustrating to be asked to listen to and memorize a snippet of music and then have someone talking over it the entire time.

I've been struggling with transcribing a tune with irregular meter and this vid is a godsend.
Marcel y glad it could help!
Man, your channel is a gold mine!
Thanks!
Yo, love your videos. Please keep making them. Helping me understand more and more as I keep learning. Keep working, your helping more than you even realize.
Thanks so much. I’ve take a break on CZcams videos to make content for my courses. I’ll come back soon.

This is the best, most useful approach so far. Thanks.
Blues38 thanks! We are launching a new course on transcription using this method. Check it out here shedthemusic.teachable.com/p/transcription

Brilliant explanation in plain English. Thank you

Anyway, great video. Thanks for posting it!
Really helpful. Thank you
Wow thanks! Just in time
Very nice
Really wish you had written the rhythm in notation form at the end to check if I was correct!
I’m already good at step 1-2, but step 3 is new to me 😅 but anyways this is really a great tutorial!
Could you do one for swing :") ?
Watching this because I want to be able to transcribe Tigran Hamasyan at some point.
Is it me or 9:27 ... does the yellow square start about a 1/16th slower than the music ..this whole video was awesome, but it's messing with my head now
It’s very possible. All of the animations were timed by hand. I wish I still had the files to fix them.
@@Shedthemusic Well, let me say again, it was an AWESOME video . Exactly what I needed this morning! .. it such a minor thing & if I'm the only person who noticed in 4 years, your good haha. You had me watching so intently till the very end!
@@chuntoon1 happy transcribing!

3/4 but 60 BPM?
Are you Berklee College of Music student before?
haisooni Nope. Is this the method of transcription they teach there?
Helpful video, but extremely frustrating to be asked to listen to and memorize a snippet of music and then have someone talking over it the entire time.
♡
Don't they have AI that can do all this in just a matter of seconds?
Yeah, but it’s about getting better as a musician. Process over product.

I understand this.. I was just playing Rabbi's Advocate.
