Bill Powelson's,
"FINITE TO INFINITY"
EASILY MASTER ALL
ODD/EVEN MUSICAL TIME-SIGNATURES
& RHYTHMS:
"Learn to, quickly and easily understand, feel, jam, create, and play
music 'comfortably', within any (odd or even) time-signature."
*** FINALLY! ***
An, easy-to-follow, COMPLETE explanation, of
odd-even time-signatures and rhythm-theory!
***
Simple enough for nearly any
12-year-old mind.
THIS IS WHAT THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT POP MUSIC RHYTHMS AND BEAT PATTERNS,
IN COLLEGE, . . . AND, it could have easily been explained while you were still in elementary music class,
in grade school!
By the time you've devoured the 7th, of these SEVEN-HYPNOTICALLY-SPELLBINDING-LESSONS,
you'll become a virtual rhythm-guru, and this awesome knowledge will continue to expand with each passing
day, for the rest of your musical career. It's simply a MUST for all serious students of music!
Please think about the above statement for a very long minute. I've already devoted more than
50 years to the previous thoughts, and I have some very big answers in store for you!
We are talking about a total of 18 QUINTILLION pop-music
rhythms. YES! I have found a very unique way to easily explain, then
implant EACH of those rhythms into your mind . . .
WITHIN ONE BRILLIANT FLASH OF INSIGHT . . .
You'll see it all, within SEVEN, SHORT, MESMERIZING, EASY LESSONS!
You'll find it very easy to play
and think within any of these little known, and totally fascinating beat structures, no matter what instrument
you may play!
I've been tutoring these previously overlooked concepts to hundreds of private students, for more than 15-years, and
it has led to an amazing discovery . . .
"Nearly any 'reasonably intelligent' mind between age 12 and age 99, will
completely devour this very short course in under a couple of hours."
- Literally EXPLODE each of the 'relative permutations' of all
time-signature formulas
from 1/1 to 64/64 and beyond!
You WILL understand each of 18 QUINTILLION dormant rhythm
patterns existing
within those signatures, ON YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT,
almost instantly!
IT IS ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING KNOWLEDGE . . .
AND, IT'S SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND, WHEN VIEWED FROM
THIS NEW PERSPECTIVE!
This BRAND NEW and amazing method of instruction,
simply isn't available, ANY WHERE ELSE!
I'm
working very hard towards spreading this knowledge throughout the entire music community.
It's certain to someday be taught as basics, at the elementary levels for each and every
musical instrument. This knowledge, once it has spread a little more, may actually change the
entire FACE of music as we know it, (from pop music styles, on up.) The sounds we hear coming from
our CDs and radios may someday be forever altered by this knowledge, . . . once the cutting-edge musicians, the pioneering composers,
the inventive song writers, the novel music creators, and the modern drum machine programmers, get their innovative minds wrapped
totally around it.
WITH THIS NEW TEACHING METHOD, ALL RHYTHM (BEAT PATTERNS) WILL BECOME VERY EASY TO
UNDERSTAND, WITHOUT THE USUAL, CONFUSING HYPE, AND ABSTRACT TERMINOLOGY THAT NORMALLY
SURROUNDS ADVANCED RHYTHM THEORY!
NEARLY ANYONE WILL INSTANTLY SEE AND UNDERSTAND, 18-QUINTILLION
BEAT PATTERNS, AS IF A KNOWLEDGE-BOMB HAS EXPLODED WITHIN THEIR BRAIN!"
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
TO QUICKLY, EASILY AND IMMEDIATELY LEARN . . . Are the the primary
objectives! AREN'T THEY?
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
DISCOVER WHY There's no need for engigmatic terms like 'duple-meter', or 'compound-time',
any longer! We'll by-pass all the resulting confusion that's caused by those UNNECESSARY, CONFUSING TERMS, and we'll go straight for the rhythmic-jugular!
WE'LL QUICKLY, SEE, FEEL, HEAR and ACTUALLY-LEARN-TO-PLAY
the actual beat platterns and rhythms, as they might possibly occur in our everyday,
current, pop music environment"!
WE NEED TO FACE THE FACTS HERE!
HOW MUCH DO YOU CURRENTLY KNOW, CONCERNING MUSICAL-RHYTHMS?
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TAUGHT THUS FAR?
THE TRUTH IS . . . No matter what your level
of music education may be, we simply aren't taught this phenomenal knowledge at ANY LEVEL
of our music-educational-system at the current time. We are all fed the same confusing, vague, abstract, enigmatic
information, at all levels of our music development.
HERE'S THE STANDARD RHYTHM-THEORY WE USUALLY LEARN:
- We're taught that, a time-signature is necessary for COUNTING a piece of
music. (Then we struggle with the confusing COUNTS for decades!)
- We then learn that the 'top number' of a time-signature formula, may be ANY number. (That's easy enough!)
- We are then told that the bottom number MUST be represented by a note-value,
(at which time, 70% of the students drop off to sleep.)
- Then, (those who are still awake), will learn that all notation in every
bar (or measure) of our music MUST tally with the time signature mathematically.
- Finally, we're taught the complete note-value system. They teach us vaguely
that the time-signature formula, is critical to our ability to read. But they
fail to COMPLETELY explain those SIMPLE formulas!
NOTE: The mathematical connotations of those easy
formulas are absolutely crucial to our TOTAL comprehension of all rhythm . . . But, we're usually left to make
those discoveries, painfully, one mistake at a time, each day, the rest of our careers.
- At this point, even the MOST SERIOUS students are ready to push the whole issue into the back of their minds
and totally forget it! That's what happens, 99% of the time, BECAUSE OUR EDUCATORS HAVE FAILED TO
MAKE IT INTERESTING and they've failed to show us the easy SECOND-HALF of the formulas!
They've only tried to teach abstractions, without any realities!
I hope to EASILY SHOW YOU THOSE VERY SIMPLE, EASY REALITIES, HERE! This short course fills-in-the-blanks most traditional music instruction has left blank, for us to figure-out, on our own, over the
remainder of our careers. TRADITIONAL MUSIC EDUCATION HAS FAILED US ALL, and it has been happening routinely for the
past 500-years! Could it be, there's a BETTER way to explain and view these needlessly confusing
concepts?
- AS WE ENTER ADVANCED MUSIC THEORY, we discover complex, enigmatic, evasive, terms like,
DUPLE-METER, COMPOUND-TIME, and other things. We may even be taught that rhythm
is an immensely huge universe! EVEN THEN, the uniquely simple system is STILL left virtually unexplained
and totally invisible to us!
WHY?
Because, we have only been taught to see it via the naked eye, as an abstraction! It hasn't been
taught to us as it SHOULD HAVE BEEN! We're only taught to see a very small and limited portion of a very HUGE rhythm picture.
Most music students and pro-musicians never REALLY SEE AND EXPLORE IT AT ALL! We tend to see only small portions at a time.
If we ever begin to see rhythm in its ENTIRETY, using the old traditional educational methods, it will needlessly become a 60-year-project!
For all but a VERY few, it becomes a project we'll never, ever completely finish!
GUESS WHAT!
IT IS ALL SO MUCH EASIER, AND SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING, THAN THAT!
WHAT IF . . .
I could show you something comparable to THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE
FOR RHYTHM?
WHAT IF . . .
our telescope contains a WIDE ANGLE (all encompassing) lens!
AND, WHAT IF . . .
our rhythm-scope also includes an extreme high power NARROW FOCUS lens that will easily segment, and bring ANY
RHYTHM within that IMMENSE RHYTHMIC UNIVERSE, into clear and bright focus. What if
I told you I can help you SEE ALL RHYTHMS INDIVIDUALLY, as if you were reading a tiny license plate,
from 1,000 miles away via the most powerful RHYTHM TELESCOPE, known to man?
WHAT IF . . .
I COULD GIVE YOU that rhythm-telescope to KEEP AND USE FOREVER?!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
FREE BONUS #1:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
TIME SIGNATURE / PERMUTATION CALCULATOR
I will give you this (special javascript) rhythm-telescope completely free as a bonus,
with this invaluable seven-lesson course!
It's just a very small, invaluable visual-aid that will easily clear-up any lingering
confusion that may be in your mind at the completion of the course. It's included at no charge.
(It's a 'time-signature / permutation calculator' that quickly and easily
illuminates and illustrates EVERY beat pattern KNOWN TO MUSIC.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
FREE BONUS #2:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
DRUM-MACHINE SOFTWARE.
JUST IN-CASE THAT'S NOT ENOUGHT! I'll also provide you with a (software download), DRUM-MACHINE, FREE as a 2nd bonus!
It's a working (shareware) drum machine, and it will work perfectly
for our purposes here.
Then, you can enter, see, hear, feel and design your own beat patterns! Learn to play along on your own instrument.
THIS DRUM MACHINE TOO, is a very small (165kb), invaluable VISUAL-AID that will easily clear-up any lingering
confusion that may be in your mind, at the completion of the course. It's included at no charge.
(I haven't found a Mac version yet.) This one is for PCs only, and though It may not do ALL the time signatures
and beat permutations you'll learn here, it's a great start. It'll work perfectly for our needs,
and it's totally free.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
WHAT IF . . .
YOU COULD BREAK ALL
THE ENIGMATIC AND CONFUSING, RHYTHM-CODES, WITHIN
ONE TOTALLY FASCINATING AFTERNOON OF FOCUSED THOUGHT?
IT IS SO SIMPLE!
You'll immediately visualize EVERY EXISTING RHYTHM IN THE KNOWN MUSICAL
UNIVERSE!
You'll easily gain the ability to see, hear and feel, EVERY EXISTING RHYTHM, within one VERY BRILLIANT FLASH OF EXTREMELY DEEP INSIGHT,
(somewhere around the 5th lesson of the course!)
I've found a BETTER WAY to view and explain the entire subject via a COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE! It is
MUCH EASIER than 4th grade multiplication-tables and it's almost easier
than counting from 1 to 32, (or 1 to 64, if we really want to go wild!)
Due to chance, happenstance, luck, persistence, (and sometimes 17-hour days, with private students
by day, and also onstage with bands at night, for 50 years) . . . I've found an easier, better way to
explain deep rhythm theory! This course will explain it ALL, in a way that's easy enough for almost anyone,
age-12 or older, to digest.
You'll find it absolultely engrossing, and fun! I guarantee it!
This is a SOLID GOLD GUARANTEE and a solemn, personal promise from the author,
OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
You will not find this awesome knowledge ANYWHERE but here! I wouldn't
waste my time promoting this knowledge if it was common-knowledge!
It isn't!
This, practical, common-sense knowledge needs to
be included within the standards of ELEMENTARY-music-education . . . but to date, it is rarely, if
ever, mentioned . . . even at the college level, . . . and it's SO SIMPLE you won't believe it. I've
been routinely teaching these common-sense concepts to my 12-year-old, private students for nearly 15 years now, and they've rarely experienced any trouble digesting it!
*** CAN'T READ MUSIC NOTATION? ***
No problem! I'll quickly teach you to read rhythm,
despite any reading-phobias
you may 'think' you have! You'll easily learn to visualize,
recognize, understand, read and write, virtually any and ALL musical rhythms,
by the end of the 7th easy lesson! You'll get it at first glance, with these new teaching methods!
Actually, most of this COULD be taught without actually seeing any actual music notation at all!
Can you believe I just said that?
It's absolutely true!
These new teaching methods are radically different, unusually profound, and uniquely original! Yet,
they will eventually lead to the COMPLETE MASTERY of writing/reading any and all rhythms.
You'll quickly resolve all your previous reading-phobias concerning written-rhythms
almost immediately!
Then, you'll master THE EXTREME DEPTHS OF MUSIC RHYTHM-THEORY, as you simultaneously see
the VERY SIMPLE BASICS in this incredible, brand-new way! The complexities you've probably missed in deeper
rhythm-studies have ALWAYS been hidden within these VERY SIMPLE BASICS! You simply weren't
TAUGHT to see them! You'll be amazed at the simplicity that's so well hidden, deeply within the unessesarily complex, rhythm-abyss!
How and WHY, have these mysteries been allowed to remain so confusing, for so many centuries?
That's my
question!
IT IS ALL, SO VERY SIMPLE!
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS KNOWLEDGE?
- This short mini-course is a must for ALL aspiring, song writers, composers, drum machine
programmers, and anyone dedicated towards bringing new, original and innovative music, to the masses.
- Learn to jam comfortably on your instrument, within ANY odd/even time-signature, while also
learning to read, write, and compose your music in much more original and more rhythmically innovative new ways!
- This knowledge translates easily to ALL INSTRUMENTS, though it's written
from the drum set perspective, by a veteran pro-drummer/teacher/computer programmer! (The computer progamming
is the thing that actually led to these discoveries.)
- Easily applies to all music-styles.
- You are about to discover more pop-music beats-and-rhythm-patterns, in one brief
sitting, than you'll ever learn again in your life, in one sitting. This is a guarantee,
or your money back!
- You'll wonder why you weren't taught these simple, mesmerizing, explosive,
easy (new) concepts in grade school! They're so amazingly simple!
- You will be especially appalled as to why these simple
concepts weren't discussed, even in COLLEGE MUSIC-THEORY classes!
- Some students may devour this little project in under and hour! Those
students are the very same students who will invariably appreciate
this mini-course the most.
- You won't necessarily need a drumset handy as you study this mini-course,
though I'll provide DRUM MACHINE SOFTWARE, as a free bonus.
This course will definitely make you want to acquire a drumset, if you don't
own a rig already. You will become a 'virtual drummer' (by proxy)
as you absorb this knowledge!
- As an additional free benefit, I have tons of handy tips for simulating and/or acquiring
a drumset inexpensively. I'll happily share those tips with all
paid students of this mini-course.
After enrollment, simply e-mail me, and ask for 'Makeshift-drumsets' (and/or) 'The Drumset
Buyer's Guide'. I'll be happy to assist and help you, every way I possibly can.
THE LEARNING PROJECT:
- In the beginning, you'll simply study, read and/or write the suggested
examples, then EASILY tap them out on imaginary drums, using the arms of your chair or
the computer desk.
- The whole point of this short course is KNOWLEDGE. We're going to quickly and easily
load your MIND with every possible beat variation in the known rhythmic Universe. This
study may also help you find a 'Rhythmic Black Hole' or two, which may have previously
gone undiscovered.
- drum-machine programmers will love this short course, as well.
You'll easily discover how to enter beat patterns into any drum machine
as if you were a pro-drummer.
If you already know the functions any drum machine, I'll
show you how to design, create and play, virtually ANY beat pattern IN EXISTENCE!
- This mini-course will be easily comprehensible to anyone
who knows the difference between a bass drum, a snare drum and a hi-hat. Guitarists,
song writers, bass players, vocalists and keyboardists will all gain
immensely from this study. It may even help you communicate with your
wacky drummer, if nothing else.
That is . . . if you can get your wacky drummer to study it too, haha!
WHY IS THIS TIME-SIGNATURE AND
PERMUTATION STUDY SO IMPORTANT?
If you are still wondering WHY all this is important to today's musician,
I'll word it this way, for now . . .
- For one thing . . . many of today's leading-edge pop and rock groups
are dabbling with odd-time, more and more EVERY day. This knowledge
will help put you on the cutting-edge of all those pop music styles. It'll
take your 'ear' FAR ABOVE AND BEYOND the things that are occurring already,
and clearly catapult you far-ahead of them!
- You'll quickly and easily immerse deeper into rhythm studies
than you've ever gone before! Don't think for a second that this is
about those same little tid-bits you were taught in music-theory class.
This study picks up where they left off! Yet, it is simple enough for the average
dedicated 12-year-old to comprehend.
- If you can't already jam comfortably, within '16th-note 7/8', or 'Blues 5/4' and all the other
very interesting signatures, you will totally LOVE this little course
without question. You will learn thousands of beat variation patterns within those two structures, and many, many more.
- But, aside from that, we all need to be prepared and capable of handling anything
rhythmically that may occur onstage throughout our music careers. The BEST musician is always
prepared to quickly understand and play any type song (rhythm structure) we may be
called on to play, and we must play it well. We can't assume we are the best, until
we have every morsel of this time-signature/permutation knowledge in our bag of
tricks. This is true for all guitarists, bass players, keyboardists, song writers, vocalist,
drum-machine programmers, drummers . . . and/or virtually ANYONE connected with dreams of providing
innovative music for the masses.
- ANOTHER HUGE ADVANTAGE!
COMMUNICATION, ON-STAGE:
This short, easy, study will help anyone communicate with other musicians more
intelligently onstage, and in rehearsals.
You'll quickly begin using the best, most appropriate, rhythmic-terms as you
discuss arrangements with your fellow band members. This in-turn will result in
additional respect from the more knowledgeable musicians within your daily associations.
This little known 'communication-factor' is often the key to acquiring the most prestigious
gigs, working with those who really KNOW what they are doing. Those upper-echelon
musicians all WANT to work with musicians like themselves, who speak the SAME
intelligent language of rhythm and music. This short course will help you enter
a new breed and a new class of job opportunities, once you've digested it all.
CAUTIONS:
Sometimes, we must often wait for just the right band, the right song, and the right time,
to actually use the BEST 5% of our knowledge, but that doesn't make the knowledge less
important! The objective is to achieve 110% status, 110% of the time. This material
will help add that extra percentage to your knowledge base.
We can't always play everything we know, in every song we play!
In most cases onstage, 'simplicity' is the best formula of all. Simplicity contains
it's own very special and classic beauty! However, if we're called on to play
extremely complex patterns, we certainly need to BE PREPARED to do it well. You
are about to gain that great advantage here.
I LOVE FEEDBACK!
I often like to become best friends with the enrolled students.
That's the reason you haven't seen all this in book-form at your local
music store! I want to KNOW my students. I want to hear from all of you,
receive your feedback, answer any lingering questions, and in general,
be good friends with you.
As you study this short course, you may become confused, possibly due to some
unknown error in my OWN thought processes. If that happens, I definitely want to hear
about it! We're talking about a HUGE rhythmic Universe here. I'm not certain
I've viewed EVERY corner of it either! It's entirely possible this course may
help you see things I haven't seen as yet. I want to know about that! All enrolled students
are encouraged to write and explain their discoveries to me. This
is a work in progress. I'll fix and change anything that does not add up.
Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated and I'll respect you totally
for your contributions and help.
So, I invite you to E-mail me anytime, with any questions, discussions or any arguments you may have. Just
keep it friendly . . . that's all I ask. I'm here to help you every way I can! This is
what I do for my living and I absolutely love doing it. (Please don't take that away
from me.) I have little time for pompous arrogance. E-mail flames will get you totally
ignored. By the way, my e-mail address below is coded 'to fool the spam-robots
and malicious-virusess' that are continually spreading. Remove the 'Xs' and it should work
fine. I always try to respond to all e-mail on the same day it arrives. Your e-mail
messages are my FAVORITE part of all this. I live for e-mail and often respond within an
hour or two! :>)
