Vinnie and his beat division

Post by tukoztukoz »

Vinnie seemed to hit the last note of each beat division with a chicken picking note.
Among those divisions, which ones are his favorites? It would be interesting to check some transcriptions (Wolf Marshall for example)


divisions of the beat in x/4 time signatures is:
• 1 quarter note (1)
• 2 eighth notes (1-and)
• 3 eighth note triplets (1-and-then or 1-and-a)
• 4 sixteenth notes (1-e-and-a)
• 5 sixteenth quintuplets (1-e-and-a-then)
• 6 sixteenth sextuplets (1-e-and-a-then-a)
• 7 sixteenth septuplets (1-e-and-a-then-and-a)
• 8 thirty-second notes (1-e-and-a-then-e-and-a)
• 9 thirty-second nonuplets (1-e-a-and-e-a-then-e-a)

Too technical for me man, I couldn't get that much detail out of his playing.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, not only have you built the awesome "Trashcan VVV", you've managed to work all this out too!

I bow to your supreme genius!

Thanks but I don't think I'm some sort of a genius. I'm just monomaniac sometimes. Now I'm really into beat division (jazz chords too). It's as if I was cutting slices from a cake (1 to 12 slices per beat, while keeping the same tempo). I can do that for hours when I have to listen to a boring conference, when I have to wait, or when I drive my car...).
Chicken picking is amazing. Triplets get 25% faster than with alternate picking, and maybe more.
As Vinnie said in his video, "it opens another door". Thank you Vinnie!

Exactly that :)
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.
