- Breaking down the classic 5/4 rhythm from 'Take Five' by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. A great lesson in understanding how to count odd time signatures and learning how to solo with phrasing on guitar.

I show up for the opening gag and stay for the awesome lessons. This one didn't disappoint.
+Chris Soares Thanks Chris!
Love this song it's been a staple on my "chill" Playlist for near 15 years! Thanks for the lesson my friend.
+Johnny BEEE Always happy to help!
Not to be overly salty, but I think you left some money in your wallet since the melody is off by an 8th note. The blue note is on the one...
And where did the B part go? 😄
And nice to see the 335 again!
+Jens Larsen The answer to all your questions is that I'm a jazz poser :) (That's not even a 335, it's a 333. Don't tell anybody)
Haha! I won't 😄
>~>
I didn't quite expect this lesson from you, but I was delightfully surprised! What a fun jazz melody.
+Mason Mishael Thanks Mason! One of my faves :)
Take 5 was the intro song for the Jazz show at KPCC in Pasadena in the early 80s. It defines cool jazz, loved hearing it then and will now enjoy playing it. Thanks once again Sean
+Leo Burke Thanks for watching Leo!
In my opinion this is one of the top 5 all time jazz pieces ever! Great you posted this Sean, I've been looking for a simple arrangement and you've given it to me! Shared on my Google+ page too!
+downhill2400 Thanks for spreading the word!
great meoldy with "just" the minor pentatonic pattern one, it's so amazing
THE 'TAKE YOUR MONEY OUT OF YOUR WALLET' PART KILLED ME LMAO
Ha! My whole life is a Jazz Musician Simulation ( . .)
well that's pretty cool unless you don't know all the chords ,theory , etc...
Omar Brsli, no, pretty much just the empty wallet part.
+Jeremy :)
One of my favourite tunes. I remember buying Brubeck's DIrect-to-Disc (first ever I believe) version way back when and it sounded glorious.
+danmar007 So awesome! I'm all in on anything Brubeck!
always loved this rhythm never thought to look it up.always wanted to just jam over this for like an hour
+Michael DeMatteis So good. Love that 5/4 jam!
I listen to that song often at work. Good vibe
+David Braly One of my faves!
I waited so long for a good Take Five Lesson 🙏🏻 Thank you!
+classic Arts Happy to help!
This tune has always been a fave.
Never gets old.
Take Five is an iconic tune from a great album. Mingus Ah Um is my favourite jazz album of that time.
+richisskill So good!
This is really great Sean! Thanks a lot for teaching this, it's such a great tune... I had no idea you were at all interested in jazz. I won't tell anyone, promise. (shhhh...)
+Buddy Martin Thanks for keeping the secret :)
Sounds like listening homework to me! FYI, Blue Rondo a la Turk is my fav on the album owing to the wonderfully expressive sax of Paul Desmond.
+Ron Light Paul Desmond is a god!
I would LOVE to hear and learn more jazz standards from you. Thanks for this one. Oh and Brubeck's Japan album is stunning
never heard the Japan album but it's on the list! Thanks :)
wow I've not seen this guitar in a long time , great lesson
+Omar Brsli I actually finally changed the strings on it so it's good to go!
Sean Daniel, great lesson and could learn a lot. Thanks a lot! :-)
Happy to help Pierre!
Just awsome! love your videos! your taste for songs is perfect, and you are an awsome guitar player.
+kenan keno Thanks so much for reaching out and saying so! I'll keep it up!
That guitar is beautiful.
+RealityBreaker6 Thanks so much!
vintage Gibson I reckon not a 335
Nice jazzbox there hombre. Rurl purdy.
Thanks so much! Love that 333.
Since we are talking about the count, on what count would does the melody actually start? It feels like the 2. I can put the chords in my looping pedal, but I have trouble making it sound right.
+J. Cloyd haha, great question. It's possible I actually screwed it up myself :)
Well, I guess the minor pentatonic is for situations such as this.
The pickup to the melody actually starts on beat 4, with four 8th notes, leading into beat one.
Hey thanks for enlightening my music life(MOKSHA) :D. You are frigging GENIUS..
Can you make video on ear training and intervals. Watched a lot of video but couldn't decide which one to follow.
+Aalekh VS Man thanks so much for reaching out! I'll try and make an ear training vid soon :)
Could you extend this lesson with some more solo and perhaps a few more chords? Love it man!
+downhill2400 Great idea! Might have to do a jazz week!
It's not just me right, his melody at the beginning is a beat ahead of what it normally is?
+Fantastic That's definitely possible ;)
wow thats so awesome, thank you!
+Music Letters Thanks for checking it out!
I always loved this song, either you have a good hand picking riffs or we have a very similar refined taste in music :-)
Hi Sean as always love the vids! As a mentioned to you before I'm a totally newbie, even though I can play some basic stuff. Lately I've been trying to correct my left hand (the one I use in the fretboard) position, specially the thumb position so I can be able to strech and have more power to my grip. However, my thumb hurts like hell... could you be so kind on providing me some guidance regarding a correct hand position? Thanks and Greetings from Chile
+Andrés Iturralde definitely make sure that you're moving your whole hand/arm left and right to accommodate your reach. A lot of time we'll be reaching kind of unnecessarily when you can switch positions. The main thing to remember is to not overdo it. Everything will happen in time so you don't want to push yourself if it's hurting. Definitely practice the major scale in a 3-note-per-string and that'll get your reach going in no time!
Thanks Sean!
Great video. Thanks.
+LEE BRALY Thanks for watching Lee!
I saw an interesting video on Ted Talks about the "Indian Way" of counting by Jayen Varma. The presenter used words and their syllables (in this instance the names of cities in India or US) to do odd counts...he even does 11/8 in the video.
I'm not going to link his video here, but you can just search Ted Talks for "The Indian Slap Bass Technique".
+Rius Rydo Thanks for the heads up. Never thought I'd google 'Indian Slap Bass'
Yeah man! Intensely cool Daddy-O.
Dave in the Adirondacks 😎
You said you hate horns in another vid? Or just the midi ones? Regardless, the drum solo in this song is killer.
+don caviness Definitely the midi ones. It really just depends on the context, but Paul Desmond is never a bad choice :)
Great lesson. Nice guitar. Dirty fingers pu in bridge position?
+Lucius Titius Thanks! I believe its the 498t
Time Out is great, I love Blue Rondo à la Turk. The moment when the blues starts after minutes of Turkish 9/8 nonsense just always feels so good, and it is a good example of using time as a dissonance, right, making 9/8 sort of a dominant and 4/4 the tonic.
Also, I'm now 4 minutes into the video and you still haven't mentioned Mission Impossible? Shouldn't it always be mentioned when talking about Take Five or 5/4? At least everybody always does...
And forgot to say, you should make a riff deconstruction on Afro Blue as well, I feel it's a simple jazz song that has interesting simple rhythmic elements in the form of the 3:2 hemiola cross rhythm. Keep up the good work.
+Erik Döderlund Thanks so much Erik. Such a great album. No Mission Impossible needed :)
T-this is not written by Dave Brubeck >~>
Please break down John Mayer-Neon riff
+Delbert Giovanni Great idea!
wrong melody for the A. Its Bb Eb Gb Ab A Bb A Ab Gb at the very beginning in 8th notes then its Bb Db Eb. all Bb blues scale.
Vasilis Condoulis *all Bb salty blues scale
Vasilis Condoulis It's jazz tho'. Nobody told Coltrane the melody was wrong when he was playing My Favorite Things.
+Vasilis Condoulis I make it a point to do something wrong every video ;)
Erik Döderlund not too sound too pretentious because I'm not a great musician/have alot of knowledge but certain kinds of jazz like bop have and more room for imrpov on the heads and you usually wanna hit those leading tones. A good example is "now's the time" by bird. this tune in particular shouldn't really have embelishment or changes in the A in my opinion but to each his own
nice axe, don't think I've ever seen you play that one before?
+Stuart Frost Thanks! Gibson 333, it's been awhile :)
This is Great :)
Thank you!!!
it is so funny to play !!
greetings from germany
+Angel Tise Happy to help Angel! Cheers from the US!
your subs have gone real high
+Miika K Yeah the channel's growing, very cool!
salty jazz comments incoming
+David RF I'm so ready :)
I hate that it is in eb .. my brain doesn't like it
stop. wait a minute
+Sam Jain :)
Häää..????
Lead guitar is not exactly what Paul played. Especially there is no swing
"Take your money out of your wallet..."
Wait a minute:
You guys are getting paid?
Jazz poser or not, why not learn the melody correctly? Sheesh.
