This is a giant exploration of rhythmic concepts for songwriters, and the confusion surrounding the 9/8 time signature as well as all other compound meters. There is a good solid rant in here that gets to the heart of a topic I’d like to explore more, which is the outdated and relic teaching methods still used by modern music educators in professional academic settings.

Polymeter- youtu.be/MqyrPzvN3Zc
3:4 Polyrhythms- youtu.be/c1pejTgLuhA
Sextuplets- youtu.be/3CjeZDUQUwM
Truncated Polymeter- youtu.be/o3LypkzywIw
A few things to mention- when converting 9/8 to 3/4 with triplets, it’s important to remember that the tempo markings must indicate the correct beat. If I’m doing 3/4 with triplets, my quarter note pulse is the one I’d be using for my metronome, while in compound triple meter, I’d write my tempo marker as a dotted quarter note.
Also, the graphics during one part of the animation show the wrong beaming of 8th notes. Minor detail but still, it should represent the underlying pulse (as I specifically state!).
Here’s the songs I mentioned:
Francisco Tarrega Etude in Em NOT CARCASSI! tab):classtab.org/tarrega_etude_in_em.txt
Twista – Get Me youtu.be/gCV01atcDz8?t=99

In this lesson we start combining our legato skills with the modes of the major scale in order to create fast and cool lead lines and guitar solos. I still hesitate to call this shredding because there is a lack of picking, and thats why its a great starting point into fast playing. It really only exercises your left hand and theory, making it easier to eventually add in right hand picking.
