    cool video (do check out his other videos if you're interested in music theory). however, at 10:24 he says that E7, in the key of C major, is what's called a secondary dominant or a subdominant. and while it certainly is the former, i don't see how it can be called a subdominant. am i missing something here? if this isn't just a mistake on his part, could someone please explain me this?

    again, no offense but judging from the little you've told us about your MIL, she sounds like a terrible person. and it sounds like you need to stand up for yourself. just my 2 cents based on very little information though. i really don't see what's so complicated about this situation. stop being so afraid to antagonize your wife and just tell the old bitch to fuck off, job done, lol.

    no offense but you keep complaining about how your MIL treats you like shit, maybe it's time to tell your wife you've had it and confront the MIL about all this. while you're at it, tell the wife it wasn't cool of her to leave you all the dirty work. simple.

    one last thing, i totally get why you felt it necessary to break down the time sigs like you did. my wording wasn't clear and i wrote some confusing shit that was theoretically wrong as a result. to be more specific: "we're not in 6/4 anymore" implies that beats 1 2 3 4 of bar 3 are in 6/4, which is total nonsense. what i actually meant is that bar 3 is actually 2 separate bars, so neither are in 6/4 (no shit). from that perspective, that is. obviously i changed my mind afterwards. implying that bar 3 has 2 different tempos: normal (beats 1 2 3 4) and faster (5 6).

    yep, sounds about right. 4/4 + santa/16 = depp won. suck on that, amber on a more serious note, thanks for this very clear explanation. if i were to notate this though, i wouldn't go through the trouble of indicating the time exact time sig like you did, i would simply indicate a tempo change starting on the 5 of bar 3 and specify that a 16th note = 6:5 or some shit lol (no idea how to notate this properly). so plain old 6/4 with a tempo change. anyway i know you only did this exercise cause i was asking about time sigs, i'm sure you too would choose my option over this one lol. not that i've ever notated anything anyway, i wouldn't know how. as you can see, i don't even really know how time sigs work. quite cringe from someone who's interested in music theory but in my defense, i never planned to learn "rhythm theory". initially, i was only interested in learning harmony. but as time goes by, i'm getting more and more frustrated to be so ignorant as to how time sigs work, since rhythm dictates everything in music. but i digress. you haven't answered my other questions though, let me refresh your memory: the snare rush would be a bunch of sextuplets in 5/16, correct? or is there a subtlety i don't get about tuplets?
  23. brian trageskin
    oh yeah btw, i forgot to mention that if you were to notate this, the last segment implies that what came before it is not in 6/4, indeed. i chose not to mention this because that wasn't my point, i was simply pointing out that the "cheat code" to understand what goes on is to think of the snare rush as 16th notes at a faster tempo - a tempo that is based on a fancy subdivision of the grid. tbh i didn't really read your explanation though, my brain is jelly rn as a result of the neighbour being a total pain in the ass (we had to call the cops). i'll do so tomorrow. thanks for taking the time to do this though, i appreciate it. satan/16 lol

    i meant if the pulse follows the tuplets instead of the 16th notes.
  25. brian trageskin
    i made a mistake btw, i meant 12 hits within the span of 10 16th notes (in 6/4). or 6 within the span of 5. yeah, this is self-contradictory. if the pulse follows the tuplets (if it's outside the 16th note grid), it's not tuplets, it's just 16th notes at a different tempo. anyway i changed my mind about this. if these are tuplets and the tempo hasn't changed, what's the time signature then? so yeah, we're still in 6/4 and these are 16th notes, just at a faster tempo. i mean yeah, the new tempo is definitely based on a fancy subdivision (tuplets), and the composer didn't pick just any random tempo, but technically, these aren't tuplets. personally, i don't hear a different tempo though, i just hear a bunch of tuplets which are used in a deceptive manner. now here's what i'd like to know: imagine there were only 6 snare hits instead of 8, what's the time signature then? considering that the tempo would technically remain the same and it would just be a bunch of tuplets in a different time sig. just out of curiosity. while i'm at it, am i even right in thinking that 6 hits within the span of 5 16th notes = tuplets at all? and if i am, are these sextuplets?
