Blues Guitarist Tries to Learn Angine de Poitrine... AGAIN!

[00:00:14]That's that's that's what I would write over the top of it. Sarn live on KXP.

[00:00:22]and Gene deport E.

[00:00:29]I love a good E.

[00:00:35]Little offbeats, down beats, and then offbeat. Everything normal.

[00:00:50]Okay.

[00:00:52]a riff that loops in 44 or we'll talk about it in a sec.

[00:01:16]Lots of looping. We like it.

[00:01:26]foot magic.

[00:01:34]It's a great place to stop because just it's so crazy that this is a riff. You know what I mean? Like, oh yeah, I'm going to learn that riff.

[00:01:42]Like, it literally sounds like that, but every time he loops it, it starts to make more sense. I'm like, "Oh, oh, oh, I don't know if there's mad like I don't know how crazy good this is as far as like voice leading in micro tone microonal harmony, but I do know that the more you play anything, the more it makes sense, right? You get in that trance, which I talked about in a different video. This one's obvious because it's 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3, which is 1 2 3 four five six seven eight. So, there's eight beats and the subdivisions are uh a triple meter. I don't know what you call it. Every time I say 3 4, people are like, "It's four four." I'm like, "It's three beats, though. 1 2 3 1 2 3." Every every riff is three. 1 2 3 2 3 3 2 3 4 2 3 5 2 3 6 23 72 33 82 33. Boom. So, maybe we're in 44 with a 128 feel, right? Who knows?

[00:02:56]I could see why some people are saying it sounds like Primus. The other songs I listen to, I didn't hear it, but this one sounds I hear I hear South Park.

[00:03:04]Oops. Right.

[00:03:32]That beat is sick. And that chord is sick.

[00:03:43]Just got it looped. Doing the bass work.

[00:03:46]Okay. So, real quick, something I do notice that I can do. I don't know if this will be the right note, but it's called harmonics or artificial or uh artificial is the opposite of what I'm looking for. Natural harmonics. So, it's like I don't know what note, right? It's playing a harmonic which is actually you just play the string and then here's where the string starts technically. This is where the string touches something which is this is called the nut. So the string touches the nut and then down here it touches the bridge. So if you cut that length exactly in half, it creates when you touch it, you don't have to press down. So if you can see, maybe you can, maybe you can't. If I press down the string all the way, that's just playing guitar. That's fretting the note, right? But if I lift up a little bit and just touch the string and don't actually push the string down to the fret, which is those little metal bars, these little frets here.

[00:04:40]Again, who I don't know who I'm talking to right now. If you've never played guitar, this is helpful. If you're actually know what micro tonal guitar is, you probably are like, "Yeah, we know." Anyway, harmonics is when you just touch the string right at the halfway part. And it just so happens to be the 12th fret, right? If you go back here, doesn't work. But you hit right above the 12th fret, and I mean right above the metal bar there, you get a harmonic, right? And it works in other spots, too. If you cut it into quarters or thirds, see the harmonics, normal notes.

[00:05:21]Nothing normal about it, but harmonics.

[00:05:26]Woo!

[00:05:38]5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4. Okay, so this is broken down into 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 or just eight and four. Um, and what's cool is it still sounds like D one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, but then the drum da da da da da da. And this is what I wanted the other song to do, and it's not surprising that that they're doing this. I don't know if this is metric modulation. I always hear drummers throwing around that term, but what I do know is that it's badass. There's a dream theater song and for me a symphony song that does a really cool one.

[00:06:12]D snare and the drums move the beat or change the way the beat sounds. Let's go.

[00:06:30]So, we're in like a four. Sounds just like four four. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 It would take me the rest of my life to learn this, but I could do it.

[00:07:12]And on my deathbed, I would have it another layer or just the riff again.

[00:07:26]I think it's just the main riff there.

[00:07:29]Oh, it's the it's the first riff, which is like a but that's the first riff, right?

[00:07:40]There's been the A riff and the B riff.

[00:07:42]And now he's bringing the A riff into the B section here. Um, let's back up till he drops into that riff.

[00:07:57]It sounds hard.

[00:08:16]New riff.

[00:08:33]That sounds like it's in 12 tone.

[00:08:44]Yeah, it goes to 12 tone. My ear is like, "Oh, a thing I've heard.

[00:09:04]There's some, right? I mean, it's Sabbath riff or a Zeppelin riff or something. That's that's something I can hear. I like just closing my eyes and it just sounds like a bunch of crunching mush.

[00:09:16]And then all of a sudden, woo, Snickers bar. Tasty. Something simple.

[00:09:29]Solo.

[00:09:31]No, just distortion.

[00:09:47]Let's go back to the beginning.

[00:10:02]That's That's what I would write over the top of it. Okay, let's learn this riff.

[00:10:10]Come on, show the guitar.

[00:10:16]I feel like it's either there or a half step above that. So, what I need to do, I'm going to bring this string down to a quarter step above this string. We're going to try that. So, what that means is this is an A. I'm going to show you guys the A real quick.

[00:10:37]A. And then we want the next one to be okay. That's about an A, but it needs to be a little sharp, which this kind of is.

[00:10:46]Okay, we're going to go a little right there in the middle there.

[00:10:55]Is that a quarter step? So, basically an A to an A flat uh sorry, an A to an A sharp is 100 cents. This is quarter tone or 24 tone microonal, right? So, it's got to be 50 cents instead of 100 cents.

[00:11:09]And now, let's listen to the riff.

[00:11:14]Okay. So, everything that's a quarter step. So, I can go.

[00:11:20]That's it.

[00:11:24]Since the tension's not right, there we go. We'll call it a B quarter sharp. So, that means it's not as easy to play.

[00:11:38]Oh boy, I'm in for a real treat here.

[00:11:47]And then it's something kind of bluesy.

[00:11:58]It might just be that.

[00:12:00]I'd have to I need another string. I need this guitar to really do I think this might be a fun endeavor for me.

[00:12:06]This is like super fun like right there in between.

[00:12:16]That sounds like it. No. Slow it down to make sure we get this beginning right.

[00:12:30]Boom.

[00:12:36]That's it.

[00:12:39]Okay. So, here's what I think the riff is.

[00:12:45]Oh, yeah. So, Okay, it doesn't sound like I'm in tune.

[00:13:05]So, either A, I've got the riff wrong, possib most likely, or B, it's out of tune, which is also possible, and then C both. And it's definitely that
