As a non-English speaker enjoying both konnakol and English language this is a valuable lesson, easy to follow. I tried it at 1.5 speed and it worked great nonetheless.
You're right. When I need all 7 subdivisions in a neutral manner, I use takatimi-takite, or slightly morph ta-ti-genato into ta-ah-ti-ee-genato. Hope that helps!
nice videos, thank you! Just a question: how would you play 5 UNDER 4? So 'ta ka ti mi' AND 'ta ti ge na to' start always at the same time with TA, or looking at the last syllable: to and mi are in the same position in every cycle
Interesting question. I'll probably do a video on this topic. Just to make sure I understand you correctly: Let's say 1 cycle is 1 bar, and you want to "squeeze" 1 takatimi into this bar, and 1 tatingenato as well? Not only this, but in such a way that the "TA" syllables of both words are played at the exactly same moment, and the same goes for the last syllable of the two words (MI and TO respectively)? And every bar/cycle is identical to the previous one, i.e. we just have to look at one bar to answer this question? If this is what you're asking, I'll give you an answer soon. Please let me know if I understand you correctly. Cheers!
@@timteissen Dear Tim, Thank you for your response, I think I figured it out! Also, my question wasn't exactly what I wanted to ask, but then I was thinking about it and it was even more interesting than my original question, so I figured the answer for that too. So, what I originally wanted to ask is: how to represent a 5/4 rhythm during the same bar as a 4/4, in that sense, in a classical, western music sheet I think it would mean that we are not working with whole, semi, quartet lengths, but with other fractions like: in a 4/4 bar a 5/4 would be 5/5? or something but not 4 for sure. It could also mean that we have two different lines of notations in different BPMs, where the 5/4 is faster, so it can catch up with the 4/4 bar. Based on what you taught in the video, for which I am again extremely thankful, it was sort of easy to resolve this problem with 3 parallel measures in konnakol: |syllable| = accented with a clap (5/4 or what : ) ) Ta = accented with a stomp (4/4) konnakol = 20/4? : ) (Ta and |syllable| can be accented) |Ta| Ti Ki Na |To| - Ta Ti Ki |Na| To - Ta Ti |Ki| Na To - Ta |Ti| Ki Na To This was an old question for me in general in the back of my mind, and now I can just do it with konnakol = ) Also with the guitar etc. So for example the stomps can be played on drums pulsing in 4/4 and a guitar can go over it with this "5/4" clapped above. The konnakol syllables are for the mind so you don't get lost = ))
@@timteissen My original question can be resolved like so (based on my previous response): |Ta| Ka Di |Mi| | Ta Ka |Di| Mi | Ta |Ka| Di Mi | |Ta| Ka Di Mi Ta = 4/4 stomped, this is basically the Ta Ka Di Mi, one syllable for every Ta |syllable| = no clue (that's the beauty, because the result is still achieved :D ) clapped - this is the Ta Ti Gi Na To where the To is in the same position with the Ta konnakol = 16/4? I hope it is clear what I wanted to achieve = ) Maybe you could create a video indeed if it's clear, would be a unique one for sure! Also, sorry for the custom notation system, hope it is also clear, I needed to do it like this instead of multiple konnakol lines because the formatting may mess it up. On the other hand, it's really cool that such a complex rhythm can be represented in one line of syllables, crazy = ) Keep it up and thank you =) Zsolt
@@Kobraisten Hi, Zsolt, thanks for your answer. I'll definitely create a video on this whole topic soon. Cool that you figured out the problem yourself. Cheers!
If you wanna know exact notations & different variations, watch Introduction to Konnakkol on TH-cam, it's uploaded by Shaale channel...there are 12 videos
@@timteissen No problem.... Actually, I recently discovered that on TH-cam, since I was a child, in many songs in our country, I heard lot of ThakiTa Thakadhimi ThakadhimiThom, and all, I didn't know what were those, now I know......these are really amazing, you can sing & also play on many instruments with different variations & beats.....

Thanks! Feel free to speed it up.
I like the fact you speak slowly as it helps me concentrate and absorb the lesson (it is Zen like)
A Zen-like quality... I'll take it as a compliment. Thanks!
Very clear explained lesson to this not easy at all Konnakol Rhythm System (Amazing)
Thank you. Appreciate.
This was a great series! Very usefull way of explaining it. Thank you
You're welcome! Also check out my other series as well.
Thank You Tim Teissen. Your lessons are wonderful.
Thanks! I appreciate that very much.
Derry Murbles schooling everybody on rhythm. Thanks Derry!
LOL
As an Indian i played these rhythms with my fingers as a small kid unintentionally 😂 shocking to learn it in theory.
Great stuff.
Thank you!
Wow, something new I found by luck - will try with my Shadows numbers (LOL) and Raags on my Guitar!!!! Great website mate!
Thank you!
Very nice
Great lesson, thank you.
You're welcome!

SEVEN IS TAKATIMI PLUS TAKITE? WHEN ACCENTING EVERY 7? HOW DO YOU THINK IT SING IT?

a bit slow but clear
Thanks!
Why ... do ... you ... speak ... so ... slow ... ?
Slowest talking ever.
kinda works with speed up to 1.25, still slow, but ok
Better than speaking too fast, since its for educational purposes!
Playing this video at 2x speed is still painfully slow.. Are you a turtle? How is it possible to speak this slowly?
thats rude
