00:00Okay, so I'm back again talking about our intermediate rhythms.
00:05Again, as always, a reminder that you must be 100% fluent and comfortable with the fundamental or beginner six
00:15rhythms.
00:16If you're not fully comfortable with those, then you won't be ready for these intermediate rhythms.
00:23But if you've nailed all six of the common time, march, waltz, syncopated ballad and swing,
00:30and you're fully comfortable with all six of those, you'll be ready to move on to these intermediate patterns.
00:38So, I've already spoken about the compound rhythm, which uses the waltz from beginner level and elevates it slightly.
00:47So, you will have looked at House of the Rising Sun with a 6-8, taking two waltzes and placing
00:54them together to make a bar.
00:55One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:59Just a demo.
01:02One, two, three, four, five, six.
01:05Or you can just count if you're comfortable.
01:07One, two, three, four, five, six.
01:10Hence why I call it the compound march sometimes.
01:14You will also have looked at the compound 12-8, which is quite common.
01:22So, also, exactly the same concept, just pasting waltz together, but this time there are four of them.
01:30So, again, if you're comfortable with it, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, five, ten, eleven, twelve.
01:45But if you're comfortable with it, just count it in common time.
01:51One, two, three, four.
01:52So, hence why I call it the compound common time sometimes.
02:01Okay, so there's one more of these, which is the compound waltz.
02:06So, it's a very waltzy rhythm, this one.
02:09We're going to take three waltzes and paste them together to make a bar.
02:15So, a quick demo on that.
02:16A bar would be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
02:21Okay, but it's a little bit annoying to count all of those nine numbers, and that's not really how it
02:30works.
02:30It's not nine beats in a bar.
02:32The emphasis of beat pulses on one, four, seven.
02:38So, therefore, just count it like a waltz.
02:41If you're confident you understand it, you can, therefore, just go one.
02:48And there we go.
02:49The compound waltz, or the waltzy waltz, if you prefer.
02:54So, you'll be studying Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens.
02:58Some really quite involved chords here.
03:00We've got a half diminished and a second inversion along with bar chords.
03:06So, just a quick demo on that.
03:08The compound nine-eight using Morning Has Broken, Cat Stevens.
03:48So, I'm going to count that for you.
03:49The compound waltz.
03:50One, two, three.
03:53One, two, three.
03:56One, two, three.
03:57One, two, three.
04:00And there you have it.
04:01The compound waltz.
04:05One, two, three.
04:05One, two, three.
04:05One, two, three.
04:06One, two, three.
04:06You
