(DOUBLE POST TO FIX SPELLING, SORRY)

Jo-

Take the simple patterns and then subdivide them. To hear how this can work, listen to good baroque music-- the math is all in there, to hear, and soak up through your skin-- fingers on speakers to soak it up. You will hear how a 4/4 piece divides into smaller and smaller intervals. The other patterns you want will be there or be implied there also-- the pulse of the simple pattern you can handle now is the skeleton on which the rest of the rhtymic embellishments hang.

Vocalization also works--

BOP. (pause) BOP. (pause) BOP. (pause) BOP.

BOP beedle. BOP beedle. BOP beedle. BOP beedle.

BOP beedle eedle. BOP beedle eedle. BOP beedle eedle. BOP beedle eedle.

BOP beedle eedle dee, BOP beedle eedle dee, BOP beedle eedle dee, BOP beedle eedle dee...

BOP tiddily widdily dee, BOP tiddily widdily dee, BOP tiddily widdily dee, BOP tiddily widdily dee.

BOP tiddily widdily diddily dee, BOP tiddily widdily diddily dee, BOP tiddily widdily diddily dee, BOP tiddily widdily diddily dee.


dah, BOP beedle eedle dee. dah, BOP beedle eedle dee. dah, BOP beedle eedle dee. dah, BOP beedle eedle dee
