Thank you so much. I've been a fan of Carnatic music for a very long time but never learned how the rhythms were formed. Looking forward to watching all of this series.
Hi Paris, really happy to hear that this helped you out! Carnatic rhythms are incredibly and beautifully complex, but also graspable when it's broken down step-by-step. Will make more videos on this soon :) do subscribe and press the bell icon to be notified!
@@neilchanmusic thank you! that would be great. I love how they are built from smaller rhythms. Besides increasing my appreciation for the music, understanding how this is done gives me all kinds of composition ideas of my own. Looking forward to more.
@@parisgraphics Yes! It's exciting to apply these rhythmic ideas to other styles of music. Make sure you check out Episode 2 of this series, and look through the full lesson writeups on my website (links in description)
Thank you for subscribing! Happy that you're learning from these videos, and am honored that you enjoy my music. Do check out episode 2 in this series at th-cam.com/video/cmd5mlOiA1U/w-d-xo.html!
very nice vibe, very calm teaching. thank you ! my only hint would be: perhaps start somewhere in the first minute by showing a complete "free" song that has these rhythmics. you already had a TASTER of this, but maybe a bit more of the actual music to which this can lead would be great !!! this can really inspire to wanting to learn this. if we as peolpe start off straight away with the "theory" or the broken down structure, it can be a lot =) lots of love
Hey, thank you very much for your kind and useful feedback! It's very helpful as I make future videos :) I totally agree, sometimes it's not just about putting out as much information but also helping learners along the way to make it enjoyable, desirable, and easy to follow along. You must be a teacher yourself :D
I am looking for the way of Indian style of counting division. Need some help in my rhythm developments. This video is just what I was looking for. Great! Thakhademi to grill 16 notes.
YES! It's really cool and enjoyable to study, and the best part (for me at least) is that it's rhythmical concepts are so applicable no matter what style of music you play.
@@neilchanmusic can you advice where to move on from here - I am trying to learn - indian classical as much as i can - u can tell if any other video of yours or anything else could be helpful from here.
Very good teaching. Wish you could spend a little more time to include the tala in a song and analyse the same in a song and make it more practical Ma'am
do u know ur country's name singapore came from india, its a sanskrit word singh which means lion, i think its because we have a lot of influence in south east asia in ancient times
Hi Paul, the clap is on beats 1, 5 and 7 in the eight-beat cycle. I would suggest you to think in cycles of 8 rather than 4, and use the respective hand gestures (angas) to keep track of where you are in the Tala cycle!
@@tonympirrotta I'm really glad to hear that! Yes carnatic music can seem so complicated and intimidating, and yes it is extremely complex but once you break it down step-by-step it's a lot more accessible :)
Yes, because you don't find it in Adi Tala :) Only jhampa tala has an anudhrutam, and I felt it isn't really necessary to go through it for an introductory lesson. Maybe in the future!
@@neilchanmusic Oh don't misunderstand me. I think it's obvious dude. Like in just the first 15 seconds of this video, you demonstrated rhythms more technical than the vast majority of western musicians would be comfortable with, including me! And you did it so...nochalantly, like you were explaining 1+1=2 to a 5-year-old. You should check out some prog metal/djent bands when you have time. Like, there are tons of bands devoted to taking metal songs and playing them in the rhythms similar to what you demonstrated.
@@jonathandoda8762 Hey Jonathan, hey no worries haha. Yes I'm still amazed as I learn new Carnatic rhythms each time, and the beauty is that it can actually be broken down into logical mathematical concepts! Sure they're complex, but once you get a hang of the rhythmic language it makes so much artistic sense. I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions, thank you so much! Hope to share more lessons and music with you in my future uploads :)
@@neilchanmusic i know thats our teacher gave us the video. i know her she is alyin from eas european azerbaijan school and i am dante banchini my dad is the ceo of the school

Very nice❤ and proud that solkattu is a Tamil word that is my native language❤❤
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.
You're very welcome!

Its always so enlightening to see someone from another culture internalizing our tradition... brilliant!❤
Thank you! 😃 It is a beautiful culture
I feel like when Neo learned kung fu in the Matrix!
Thank you, this is very informative, easy to grasp and very well put together!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent, congratulations🎉
Very good pacing. I went in having no idea. Now I have an understanding of what, how, and why.
Hello, great video. What is the reason that sometime fingers are used and sometime the hand gesture? Why those two? Thx
I am tamil ( native person to this great music) . You are inspiring
I like to learn carnatic music but don't know where to start. (I have an acoustic guitar)
Thank you, that means a lot! are you able to find a teacher where you are? Carnatic music is not really something you can learn on your own.
This is amazing! Thank you for all this info, just subscribed. Also, your compositions are beautiful (have been listening to Lumos a lot these days)
Thank you for subscribing! Happy that you're learning from these videos, and am honored that you enjoy my music. Do check out episode 2 in this series at th-cam.com/video/cmd5mlOiA1U/w-d-xo.html!

Solkattu is VERY interesting.
YES! It's really cool and enjoyable to study, and the best part (for me at least) is that it's rhythmical concepts are so applicable no matter what style of music you play.
It is very helpful internet.
Glad you found it helpful Prasad!

I would love to hear different Indian drum rhythm loops from you, to understand the different styles.
Pranam

@@neilchanmusic May be. 😁🙏
@@HaharuRecords haha will see if I'm inspired to do that ;)
Great🙏❤️

Very good teaching. Wish you could spend a little more time to include the tala in a song and analyse the same in a song and make it more practical Ma'am
Super ,please explain every tala how to practice in fingers
hey I did cover Adi Tala here and went through all the specific angas! :) How else can i help?
Thank you :-)
You're most welcome!
Good explain
Happy to help you with Indian rhythms sir
@@neilchanmusic Thanks a lot Mr Neil.
@@satyajeetraval5795 You're most welcome :)
do u know ur country's name singapore came from india, its a sanskrit word singh which means lion, i think its because we have a lot of influence in south east asia in ancient times
Indian culture is indeed rich, diverse, and dates back for many centuries and millenia
Nice voice
Thank you Keerthiga, I hope you enjoy learning these Indian rhythms!
So the hand clap is the one, as in 4/4 western rhythm?
Hi Paul, the clap is on beats 1, 5 and 7 in the eight-beat cycle. I would suggest you to think in cycles of 8 rather than 4, and use the respective hand gestures (angas) to keep track of where you are in the Tala cycle!
@@neilchanmusic this explanation right here just blew my mind. It seems so much more natural
@@tonympirrotta I'm really glad to hear that! Yes carnatic music can seem so complicated and intimidating, and yes it is extremely complex but once you break it down step-by-step it's a lot more accessible :)
You haven't explained anudhrutam Angas
Yes, because you don't find it in Adi Tala :) Only jhampa tala has an anudhrutam, and I felt it isn't really necessary to go through it for an introductory lesson. Maybe in the future!
I think I speak for all prog metal composers when I say "thanks. shit's heavy af"
Hahah, you're most welcome. It gets way more intense, trust me.
@@neilchanmusic Oh don't misunderstand me. I think it's obvious dude. Like in just the first 15 seconds of this video, you demonstrated rhythms more technical than the vast majority of western musicians would be comfortable with, including me!
