Looking at Complex Polyrhythms

The video tutorial explores polyrhythms, focusing on visualizing them beyond standard music notation. It introduces the concept of subdivisions and demonstrates using shapes and rectangles to visualize polyrhythms. The tutorial discusses the limitations of shape visualization for complex polyrhythms and presents a rectangle method for higher subdivisions. It also explores stacking multiple subdivisions and concludes with practice suggestions.
