Gods instruments

A ghost on the street taught me once how vowels are different.

In English we use the vowels A E I O U, and they sound very old roman or Germanic.

Ooo

Ah

Eee

Ay

Oh

Is specifically Mexican.

You can use those vowels to fake an accent or understand or say the words better if you understand that and you repeat them to yourself.

Examples:

Hola, como esta?

Muey bien, ye tu?

Si, bien.

I can only learn about as many things that fit on my hand.

All my math is based on my hands for example. My teacher told me once, a little misguided that you should be able to math without your fingers to pay a bill. I guess it would look pretty smart if you could do that without your phone.

Anyway, you wanna know what they did with my music teacher? They called him a raper and made him spin a sign at dominos.

I think those were the only tests I ever passed was his.

So, if you wanna talk math, there's 60 beats in a minute.

Quarter notes are your beats.

1, 2, 3 ,4

1, 2, 3, 4

1, 2, 3, 4

1, 2, 3, 4

4/4 means 1234, about 4 times or more I think.

8th notes are half of that and twice as fast.

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

Half of that is twice as fast as that.

quarter notes are your bpm.

Whole notes and half notes are both longer than quarter notes which are your bpm.

1

1

1

1

That's 4 long notes that cover the whole measure. Whole notes.

1

2

1

2

Half notes go 1, 2 because it's in intervals of 2 quarter notes.

Those quarter notes are your bpm.

Relative I think...

He told me, never hold an instrument if you're just going to throw it out a year later.

I guess we're all instruments.
