You need to explore more the world of progressive rock. As a kid I was first immersed into symphonic music as a very young American boy living in Vienna, Austria. Also, many European musicians, and the divide is not as great as it use to be with some of the elite musicians, they have been brought up with different scales and key, and key changes, or at least these scales aren’t really being taught in larger levels in the states. If you like guitar, Michael Schenker sounds so fantastic because of these European sounds, scales and note choices. Well that is part of it.
My two year old is now counting with Konnakol. Now he asks to "watch Tias" as in, watch you! We love your videos and love you!! Thank you for being stellar
the rhythmic language of konnokol is not unlike other rhythmic languages from say Africa or the far east or even the rhythmic language of the nordic and germenic peoples of times past and there drum and instrument music..cadences of life...i respect your connection on this as it has led you down a musical path few have journeyed.music is mysterious like that..as we unlock it's nuances and secrets the directions and paths that it creates take us into the unknown and so we use our implements to journey those paths wherever they may lead,,,some may say your music is freakish and over the top..i do not see it in that light.i hear the human connection and you are a glorious ambassador of mankind's greatest gift..and that is music..without it..we cease to exist..much respect my friend and thank you as always for a glimpse into the path that you have chosen musically.
My son requested this video again today. His two and a half year old little voice saying "tha ka ju". You're going to continue being a big influence in his life, Mattias.
He throws in/combines all those different time signatures, mixes them together/stacks them and then the drums come in in their own singular world, just making it an even more complex salad of time signatures. This is one complex, very intelligent man, who is not only gifted musically, but works damn hard at creating his beautiful craft , and productions. Bravo good, sir, I literally discovered you two days ago. Beautiful guy, too, but not as beautiful as Agnetha . LOL
Just find a random homeless man to speak gibberish, slap a guitar on him, pay him $5 to tell you everything is going to be ok... and Boom! Merry Christmas.
its been a while since i thought about rhythm in such a way... this video transported me back to the time i saw your clinic and talking about konnakol the last time you were in Cape Town.. i feel so reinspired and fuzzy inside thank you!... and again, thank you for the selfie
Thos is great rythem is amazing I'm a drummer but I'm trying to get comfortable playing there rythem on the piano. I have been studying Indian rythems for a while now .but I wanted to take it a step further and use this knowledge and enjoy my instrument also. Thank you so much opening up my awareness to this great concept. Very cool I'm starting to see how John McLaughlin and other great musicians use this method and connect there music theory of modes to make Indian rythems and musical notes come alive.
Ah yes,very interesting,i am liking it as i have a special interest in complex and unusual rythmical parameters.Konnakol,flamenco 12 beats,Bulgarian 7 and 9 and 11 beats,etc bla bla cheers.
I want to say my biggest appreciations for you to show and teach us these concepts with these stellar yet free videos of yours. Jag älsker dig jättemycket och allt som vad du gör. Greetings from a finn.
I don't know too much of writen music, but this kind of notation is much more natural to me, is like I think. When bI played with people they can't understand how I measure. Nice to know there is something similar to my understanding of the music.
Everytime you use this rhythmic words I just remember the music store in my Abuela's block where a very angry indian guy try to learn that when I was a kid. A European can't pronounce them very well. I just heard the " You need to articulate ! " If you like music mix you can use this rhythmic words with a harmonica chromatic for vamp rhythmic chords. It's sound good for the rhythmic part on a 12 blues part. It's like a clock's birds who dance on the rhythm. But you will need a bass guy to try. Because you need one rhythmic part on the groove to need to synchronized everything.
It's simple, really. He's just substituting a tradition count (1,2,3,4 "4/4" or 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and "4/8" or 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a "12/4") with syllables that take the same amount of time to speak.
I have to stop looking at the words and just go by the phonetic sounds because reading while hearing throws me completely off due to my native language pronouncing things :D Watching me some IA Eklundh while eating got me the idea how to have a working flow for a repeated 15/16 segment to actually be listenable (or rather, digestable) a lot better. Thank you kind sir for sharing what is in your head with us, and I hope your annual Freak guitar camp will continue to flourish :)
I still can't get over what an effing monster that guitar is. It's like a bastard child of a Washburn EC29, an Ibanez RG2228, and a Strandberg with True Temperament squiggly frets!.
Yes, I know about Caparisons. But you don't see a 29 fret guitar every day, nor an 8-string with trem, nor a True Temperament fretboard. The combination is rare as pixia dust,
I will never play this, I don't even really enjoying it musically..BUT, you gotta love Mattias and acknowledge the fact of what a master he actually is!! One of the best in the instrument nowadays...Ron Thal and maybe Gythrie Govan can compare with this.....I can probably add Vai and the guys from Messugah as far as rhythms are concerned. Personally, I am more of a Friedman, Loomis, Yngwie guy :)

Maybe he will join my hubby at your upcoming camp. Early indoctrination :p
Thank you Mattias. Konnakol training is helping so much, and I'm a classical guitarist. It's resolving so many time issues I have had.
my swedish indian metal barbarian! thank you for your insane insights
Asså fy fan vad coolt det här är, enkelt att lära sig och SKITKUL!!!
My new favorite math substitute teacher.
Excellent, so talented.
A very enlightened way to count the rhythm in your head while forgoing numerical divisions. I was entertained.

brain melting stuff dude. I will learn Konnakol one day. I'd never even have heard of it if it wasn't for you.
A one-of-a-kind dude, not easy to digest but tons of respect!!!!
His workshop was a revelation. That you can improvise not only in terms of notes but also tempo
My son requested this video again today. His two and a half year old little voice saying "tha ka ju". You're going to continue being a big influence in his life, Mattias.
Give him a big hug from me, OK?

These lessons are some of the most interesting and inspiring on YT right now.

I'm too stupid for this. Thanks for making me realise
So cool and inspiring to see how you use this stuff in a creative way!
EXTREMELY GRATIFYING ! THANK U
Saluti dall'Italia, sempre chiaro e simpaticissimo!
I really like how you walk us through your thought process rather than just playing it. Thanks
I wish you were my dad
I bet he wouldn't not come back from 'going out to buy cigarettes' like a certain dad I know

Thank you for the video and the positive energy! Polyrhythms are a lifestyle
I want an album of this. Reminds me a little of Sonar!
I really love your materials and way of thinking music. I just wanna say thank you. Please keep doing it!
Wow ! Advanced stuff presented by a really charming and funny genius... 👍👏
Amazing :) I'm working with it ! Thanks

Mattias , you are awesome. These experimentations with rhythm are just mind blowing.
Looking forward to more such awesome music

You are a gift to this world, you giant-headed, Viking madman.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa this guy is worthwhile in every aspect!
My slavic head likes such rythms)

Ah yes,very interesting,i am liking it as i have a special interest in complex and unusual rythmical parameters.Konnakol,flamenco 12 beats,Bulgarian 7 and 9 and 11 beats,etc bla bla cheers.
One of a kind :D
I love this guy. His music and the way he approaches writing. I do think he has been left behind by aliens though 😊
O helvete vilken huvudvärk jag fick. Coolt och inspirerande ändå!

FREAK.. so good.. pa ka ta tu cu tia naum..
I wanna learn rythym from you. I really think you could take my drumming to another level. All this is so much to take in
Google "Konnakol"
At the end of this, my brain disconnected. Sorry I'm not here anymore, freaking awesome

Loving these videos man, extremely useful! Please keep them coming! 🤘
Yes just got done listening to smorgasbord and this was the first thing in my feed
very cool
I kinda couldn't keep up with it... :D Awesome work!!!
Freak is an understatement
1:58 That reminds me a lot of "The Autumn Red" by Agent Fresco. Thanks for the video, always fun to play along!
Like being back at camp, but in dreary November. Fantastic stuff IA!
Nice! So you spent time in India soul searching to come up material and integrate it for your own sound signature! Nice!
Wonderful... I knew my brain could explode by watching TH-cam!!!
Magnificent teacher
Some quality information here!
I learned konnakol from simon philips, and i thought he was a madman haha! It's great for complicated rhythms. Love it.
You keep it so fresh.....this was really well explained...that head quarters need to be visited soon...its in the cards Guruji!
Man this is soooo dope
I can imagine the hotel guests staying in the room underneath him not being too happy about that foot tapping. :P
My head just exploded and blood is running out of my nose!
I think my brain just melted.....
This is enough to give Robert Fripp a headache :-)
Fassszinating 🙌
I wish I were born a Viking!
MATTIAS YOUR AMAZING!
He should be on the next g3 tour!

THANKS FOR SHARING! :D
I love you man...in a brotherly way!
Genius
Ok, I'm out.
But thanks 4 beeing in my hometown :-). Music-Park, I guess. How was it, couldn't be there unfortunately..?
Just found this channel, freaking interesting
Genio!
Please use the Japanese version of "Freak Audio Lab"; it's hilarious!

kick sound is better than many drums :)
Very King Crimsony
Watched it like 10 times again, still suffer to understand that Thakita stuff 🤣🤣🤣
It's simple, really. He's just substituting a tradition count (1,2,3,4 "4/4" or 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and "4/8" or 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a "12/4") with syllables that take the same amount of time to speak.
You make my head hurt.
You need a new guitar. Your frets are all bent.
It's to much taka ti taka ti.... No fret can handle!
can't tell if this is a joke but his guitar has true temperament
@@kodi0223 come on
His guitar couldn't taka-it lol
I hear this in the magic melody of Amphibians night out!!??
Matthias... How...? I mean... HOW?! lol. Amazing, sir.
This guy has the biggest hands in the world holy fuck
I feel like I'm tripping on some sort of lichen that raindeer eat!
I have to stop looking at the words and just go by the phonetic sounds because reading while hearing throws me completely off due to my native language pronouncing things :D Watching me some IA Eklundh while eating got me the idea how to have a working flow for a repeated 15/16 segment to actually be listenable (or rather, digestable) a lot better.

Mattias IA Eklundh? More like Mattias AI Eklundh, honestly. So amazing!
Rhythm master.
The Paganini of Aliens 😀🙏🏻🛸
I still can't get over what an effing monster that guitar is. It's like a bastard child of a Washburn EC29, an Ibanez RG2228, and a Strandberg with True Temperament squiggly frets!.
It's just an 8 string Caparison? Caparisons have been around a long time.
Yes, I know about Caparisons. But you don't see a 29 fret guitar every day, nor an 8-string with trem, nor a True Temperament fretboard. The combination is rare as pixia dust,
I´m a drummer and please teach more about konnakol!!
I will never play this, I don't even really enjoying it musically..BUT, you gotta love Mattias and acknowledge the fact of what a master he actually is!! One of the best in the instrument nowadays...Ron Thal and maybe Gythrie Govan can compare with this.....I can probably add Vai and the guys from Messugah as far as rhythms are concerned.

you are awesome nuts :)
Thanks for sharing ! At 7:35 is it what they call an Indian reduction of some sort ?
