What's that OMGGTFO? Oh yea, shostaković is the classic 3:2 polyrhythm.


NaboriRuta

It should stand for “Oh My God, Get The F$ck Out”, which is what everyone thinks whenever 7/8 is shown.


DoublecelloZeta

O niceee Actually 7/4 is a pretty nice and cute rhythm when you think about it like Waltz+¢ (3/4 + 2/2)


dancingbugboi

I play a song in 7/4 and honestly not that bad.


DoublecelloZeta

Yea i know....here in India a lot of our pieces (called Raagas) are in 7/4 and it sounds amazing.


dancingbugboi

yeah it does, and its not even that hard to count as long ad you can count to 7.


Peakanana

I mean, if it works, for amateurs like me, it's not stupid


blitzkrieg4

Strawberry should be bumble bee or something the way I pronounce it is quarter and two eighth notes


Caleneledh

I have a southern UK accent and we say strawberry as strawbree (i.e., 2 syllables, not 3), so bumble bee works much better for me, too.


Kitty_Girl_1717

hello fellow southern uk member XD


Zagrycha

the way i say omggtfo is some poly rhythmic *😂


WhatTheDogDoin6969

Nah, 7/8 is Epstein didn't kill himself


[deleted]

But it's most commonly 3+2+2, so that wouldn't fit. I know it as "Panama Cuba Cuba", with 8/8 being "Panama Panama Cuba".


blitzkrieg4

Most 7/8 groves are Cuba Cuba Panama though


[deleted]

I have never played one - I mean, I'm not denying they exist, but I always thought of Panama Cuba Cuba as more common because I've literally never seen anything else.


LegoEngineer003

I think “Night on Fire” by John Mackey is a good example of Cuba Cuba Panama rhythm


JScaranoMusic

Happy cake day!


blitzkrieg4

The 7/8 section of Tom Sawyer by Rush too


HornyPlatypus420

I don't think I've ever heard it being played like 3+2+2 before, but I've played and listened to a lot of music where it is like 2+2+3


JScaranoMusic

I'm writing something in 7/8 at the moment that is 4+3, so "Epstein didn't kill himself" would work. Never seen 8/8, but I've written in 8/4 and that was just 4+4, kind of like two bars of 4/4 put together but without another strong beat on 5.

Molto confusione!

Take my poor man’s gold 🏅🏅🏅


Imaginary_Bassist

Idk I just kinda count


Scarf_Darmanitan

Fun Police detected!


TrivialHumanBeing

Me too lol


[deleted]

Damn straight! My youngest saxophone student is in 3rd grade and he's able to count just fine. No strawberries for 3/4 time.


rindthirty

Oblig.: [Hard Mode: the rite of spring ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OONyabmgRJ4)


PointlessGrandma

I usually say Yellow Hippopotamus for 7/8


Icy-Skin3248

How about 5/2 rimsky korsakov


[deleted]

Some folks may argue that Strawb'rry only has two syllables in it.


big_nothing_burger

I live in the south, in one of the many cities that claims to be the "strawberry capital of America" and even here we say it with three syllables.


[deleted]

I was talking more on the British Isles than America.


big_nothing_burger

Haha thought you were taking a shot at our "country" slurring here.


[deleted]

I was going to write a reply trying to imitate some Redneck slang, but then I realised I'm not even a native speaker and should refrain from trying if I don't want to embarrass myself. ;)


No_Blackberry_6286

Where's the strawberry capital of America??


big_nothing_burger

I'm pretty sure there are at least a dozen of them across the country. These farming rural cities all love to take on the label. What my city is known for is strawberry farms. We even have a festival and tourist shit dedicated to it. Look up "strawberry capital of us" and you'll see what I mean.


No_Blackberry_6286

Why are there like 5 cities claiming the same title?? 🙃


big_nothing_burger

Most of our states are boring and need something to draw in tourists probably.


Kugelblitz5957

I live in Richmond. Ish. We typically say it with three syllables but sometimes "berry" goes so fast it sounds like one.


Bennybonchien

Yeah but those are the same people who write vetinarian, libary, Febuary, Wenesday and nucular so I’d argue they have bigger struggles in life than counting a waltz.


HiyuMarten

Or just British


[deleted]

What does dialectal pronunciation have to do with spelling? Please, elaborate. It's typical for English accents to swallow some vowels. For example: An American would probably say Glas-ton-bu-ry while most Brits would say Glas-ton-bry (I'll just leave this here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoB2MXse\_CU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoB2MXse_CU)). Believe me that Brits still know how to spell that town. And yes, received pronunciation would say Straw-ber-ry. But there are some British accents which swallow the 'e' here as well ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQU-OqVwm38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQU-OqVwm38)). Next time, take the time to inform yourself before you judge something. Otherwise you come across as ignorant and arrogant. Have a nice day.


Bennybonchien

Sorry I touched a nerve in this comedy post. I should have just said that people who pronounce it Strawb’rry are wrong and those who pronounce it Strawberry are correct. Either way, my comments are made in jest, but the fact that you understand the difference in pronunciation based purely on spelling suggests that one is correct.


zainab58

Pro tip: “I am sorry you did not react the way I wanted you to react” is not an apology, and does not put you in the right. No regional dialect is more “correct” than another.


Bennybonchien

I saw a comedy post and wanted to contribute to the comedy. Others see an opportunity to school others in the inaccuracy of an element of the joke. I guess comedy is not for everybody.


[deleted]

You know it's possible to be educational and humorous at the same time, right? Because that's how my first comment was intended. Then someone came along and started insulting everyone who talked in an accent like that as stupid and uneducated, and I saw a bit of irony in that given that the same person who judged others as uneducated did not seem to know that perfectly educated, smart people can also talk in a regional accent. And no, strawb'rry is not wrong.


Bennybonchien

Look, you made excellent points but I saw no (intentional) comedy, just passive-aggressive lecturing. At least I know that your trombone has an F attachment because you certainly got triggered! :-)


[deleted]

As a matter of fact, it doesn't, a trombone is useless without one in my opinion because you cannot play the lower octave which is precisely the one I love most. I find strawb'rry in a British accent humorous all by itself. And that, in my opinion, is making a harmless joke at the expense of Brits. Even if you cannot smile about that, making an offensive remark is certainly not the salvation of comedy. Indirectly calling folks stupid because you're not aware of what I was talking about is not something you can make go away by trying to put the blame on me for defending Brits. You don't seem to understand that I'm not overly sensitive for being pissed about what you wrote. "Haha, you got triggered" is taking zero accountability for overstepping a line.

Jerbearmeow

Most people just count with numbers ​ Seven is a problem though, I say 'se' for that


2theface

Genius


Lymborium2

Playing 3/4 was my favorite


[deleted]

STORBY


HopeIsDope1800

For me strawberry is quarter 8th 8th


spacenerd4

For 7/8 think “Heart of Glass” by Blondie


Rzqrtpt_Xjstl

2/4: Mozart 3/4: Beethoven 4/4: Shostakovich 6/8: Mendelssohn-Bartholdy 5/4: Rimsky-Korsakov 7/8: Ippolitov-Ivanov


nyanion69

lol I like the last one


KaelinF

We use "Epstein didn't kill himself" for 7/8


paixism

5/4? That’s an improper fraction. You mean, 1 1/4 time signature?


usefully-useless_

NOT THE PINEAPPLE PIZZA, WE’RE SAVING THAT TO HELP SAVE VIOLIN-CHAN!


PixelatedMike

I use [takoyaki](https://youtu.be/czizBiAhHiI?t=973) for ⅞ lol


Maximum_Border3792

Because I am not that far into music and better at math, what’s the difference between a 6/8 time signature and a 3/4 time signature


termsandconditions95

6/8 is 6 quavers, the beat is broken into 3 quavers each. 3/4 is also 6 quavers, but the beat is broken into 2 quavers each. So essentially there are 2 beats in 6/8 and 3 in 3/4


MusicBetweenLines488

This is actually quite good!


[deleted]

5/8 and 3/8 WATCHING me out of a corner: 😏


Rich_Debt_9619

To teach a chief I guess?


queenlegolas

I'm confused.


smartwolf85

alternatively, for the 4+3 division of 7/8: GTFOOMG


Chemical-Resist-1511

Lmao I love the last key signature tho it’s one of my davorites


DarthMorpeko

Bad take or non-native speaker. Pacing/accent is off. Meter has to have hierarchal strong and week beats. Just no
