Konokol is the universal system of mastering rhythm without drums and the virtuoso guitarist John McLaughlin has advocated this system of learning rhythm for over 30 years. On this 82 minute DVD he brings it all together with Konokol Master Selvaganesh Vinayakram, one of the foremost percussionists from India.
Divided into 6 chapters, the student moves from basic understanding of rhythm into the wonderful world of improvisation. Exercises are explained and demonstrated followed by improvisations that include all the exercise material of that particular chapter. You will learn through this course how to improvise rhythmically and how this system can help in your compositions.
Following this, John McLaughlin explains and demonstrates on the guitar the benefit Konokol has had on his improvisations, and its usefulness in his compositions over the past 30 years.
