Well he gived me a lot of homework... I most learn the basic major and minor chords, plus the intervals, plus a C major scale figure....

BUT I'M SOO FUCKING HAPPY THAT I CAN LEARN PLAYING THE GUITAR!!! (sorry for the F word but I'm realy happy)

It's fun for me, I like it, well he teaches a but fast, he thinks I understand everything at the first time, but he's a great player, he's a bluesy, jazzy guy...

So thanks again

We fucking love the fuckin' F-word around here man.

This can't be stated enough.

I don't drop the f-bomb in RL a 10th as much as I do on here.

I do. I tried giving up swearing for lent. I made it 10 minutes. I was actually in my car, by myself, on the way to work and some dude cut me off. I said out loud "Fuckin' dick", and immediately realized that I'd have to give up something else.

Get me drunk and I'm a damn sailor. (And no! Not in THAT Way! )

Shit, I wonder if I like, have to ban myself for derailing my own forum's threads.

I think I curse in real life more than I do here.

I curse A LOT, but then again, I don't really consider it cursing, it's in the english language, fucking use it.

Then, at some point, it could switch to 12/8 and so on...
I could be wrong though

You are wrong, snagglepuss!! ...

Actually polyrhythms are when there are two (or more) different rhythms going on at the same time. Meshuggah is the main example given on this forum (but, in world music, African music would be a good place to look). For example, they might have the drums playing in 4/4 and the guitars in 6/4. Or, they might have the guitars in 4/4 and the drums switching between 3/4, 6/4, 2/4, and 6/8 (and altogether, the drums all add up to the same amount of measures as the guitars). Or they might have one instrument in 4/4 and another in 3/4 but slower than the one in 4/4 so they match up.

Poly = many
So, I can see how you might think that it would mean time signatures changing throughout a piece of music.

A simple example of a polyrhythm is 3 evenly-spaced notes against 2, with the 3-beat pattern being faster than the 2-beat pattern, so that they both take the same amount of time. Other simple polyrhythms are 3:4, 5:4, 7:4, etc. Where one of the parts involves an irrational rhythm, the resulting rhythm could be said to be an "irrational polyrhythm"

Another form of polyrhythm, which might also be termed polymeter, would be phrasing to suggest a different meter than the one being played by the rest of the ensemble. A common example of this in jazz would be phrasing quarter notes in groupings of 3 to suggest 3/4 time while the ensemble plays in 4/4. Compare with hemiola (not a polyrhythm).

'Kashmir' is another classic polyrhythmic example. IIRC the guitar part is in 3/4, but the drums keep playing a 4/4 rhythm.

I didn't know I was regularly playing a polyrhythmic song. I've always thought polyrhythms would be hard and never bothered trying to try doing it before, but I used to cover Kashmir/mess around with it in 2 different bands I was in (TDW and I made a really heavy version of it, which we arranged in a very very cool way, but we never got to record it or anything. ).
