That's one way. Hitting the 3 then the 2 then the final 2.
But what I meant was that you tap/feel quarter notes under those eighth notes. So it takes 2 bars to come back around
Not easy to explain in text. :)

Basically you take two bars of the 3+2+2 together and tap the next slower pulse under it.
These slow pulse equates to a 2/8 hit.
So, these pattern on top feel like:
Downbeat, upbeat, upbeat
Upbeat, downbeat, downbeat.

Geez, rhythm talk in text.... hope that makes some sense

Great interview, Trey is an old friend, we played punk rock in two bands in San Antonio 1980-82, great music scene back then. We were listening to XTC, Ultravox, Talking Heads, Bowie. Trey took off to another musical level, great to see him get his due. Saw him last year at the Iridium in NYC with the Security Project, great show and good to see my old friend. Get that record done Trey!

My great regret as a would-be musician was not learning theory. I used to think that it would inhibit rather than enhance what I was doing. I now see how wrong I was. Musical literacy is reflected in bands like Crimson and the work of Zappa, who are at the top of my list of favourite artists.

Produce Like A Pro

1y↑2

I understand. Many incredibly talented musicians and most songwriters I've know have a very rudimentary level of theory, so you're not alone! As I'm sure you've heard before Paul McCartney said he didn't know what a 1 4 5 was but he does know what G C D and sound like!

I was fortunate enough to attend Roberts Guitar Craft lessons in London (Tracy Emins studio) absolutely incredible experience, Robert has always been a huge influence for me... Robert Fripp and Francis Dunnery. Saw Sylvian Fripp damage tour in Glasgow Barrow lands top 3 gigs for me.

Paul Menard

Trey lived in Seattle for a few years. I used to see him around. One time before he was to perform with some local musicians we were both watching a Bowie tribute band perform thru the front window. We agreed they were pretty good. Another time Trey and Pat performed as Tu in a tiny hot sweaty bar. Man it was loud...and great!

Produce Like A Pro

Thanks ever so much for sharing Paul!

Daniel Cichello

I'm very happy to hear Trey is playing the instrument horizontally. Im a guitarist primarily, but I've stopped playing the stick because I just felt I was damaging my wrists playing in the upright position. I always thought that horizontally would be a good alternative but never devised a good way to do it. Super interested to see and hear his new method and instrument alterations!!! Great interview, as always!

Great interview Warren, thanks so much for discussing the difference between the American Prog bands and British Prog bands, I agree with you about what you said in terms of the technical side of it with American Prog bands, it’s what turns me off to pretty much all of them, without naming names of course, it just seems like they are playing without soul or intention, it’s cold and emotionless music.

Produce Like A Pro

Thanks ever so much ssp! I really appreciate it!

The ProjeKcts! I’d love to hear Trey talk for hours about The ProjeKcts I-IV, considering only he & Robert were in every configuration. That box set is one of my favorite pieces of musical artistry. It’s a demanding listen, so I only put it on once or twice a year when I’m in a particular headspace, but when I do I become transfixed and it’s the only thing I’ll listen to for weeks!

John Hancotte

1y↑1

Wish you had spent more time with The ConstruKction of Light and what his thoughts were on that, which was the aftermath of the ProjeKcts. I really enjoy the Re-ConstruKction of Light remix with Pat's acoustic drum tracks (unreal how he was able to do that). Great interview over all, with much discussion of Sylvian/Fripp and various other eras.

Marvel Hermon

The solo on the crim video he played blew my world apart. There are other touch instruments out there. Even shaped or organized like a piano. I forget the name offhand but that seems beat for him. That quintet album was the most unique music. It was a transform. I think ive seen him play twice. The instrument is the harpejji. He should transition to the harpejji and develop ultra dense rhythms no one else could. Favorite musician could be.

I met Mr. Trey after a KC show I seen in Nashville at Porters around 2000 or 2001 and told him how good he sounded with the group and something to the effect that he certainly fell in with the right bunch of guys to play music with and his response was that they fell in with the right guy, lol.

The strong even pulse under the odd meter was a little confusing, is it taking the a single regular pulse and dividing it into the odd meter? Like switching between 3 pulses and 3+2+2 if you're trying to snap along to Tool's invincible?

When I'm trying to explain to the laughing posers why do I have my guitar strap set so short, I just ask them to bring their left hand down like they would've held the guitar neck and get the biggest stretch between the index and the little fingers they can. Then I ask them to slowly lift the hand up to about their shoulder and do the same.
