Evan L. 11-22-15 #2 (Polyrhythmic AND Polymetric? - Difficult!)

This was given to a student to test their rhythmic skills!

Not only do we basically have a 4:3 polyrhythm happening (the chords in the first 3 bars are all evenly spaced, giving us 4 chords evenly spaced across 3 beats), we also have a 4/4 AND 3/4 time signature happening at the same time in the first 3 bars.

This is because the 4:3 polyrhythm strumming pattern begins again after 3 full beats, which makes counting this like a 3/4 time signature a good idea. However, the chords change each new bar, and each bar is laid out in a 4/4 time signature.

In other words, this is pretty dang hard!

The last bar is there just for added challenge.

The count for this rhythm is

1--a--n--e--4--a
--n--e--3--a--n-
-e--2--a--n--e--
1e-a2e-a3ena-en-
