I have devoted a whole chapter on this very crucial aspect in my book Groove 101 where I have written and played exercises and grooves ranging from 50% (no swing) to 73% of swing level. But you can lower or increase the distance slightly between the 2 swung notes to have a different feel. An even swing feel is rated in most softwares and hardwares at 66%. The fun part with 16th notes swing and its application is the % of swing feel you can apply to it, kind of the shuffle swing you can get in different kinds of swing found in jazz and blues. You can even tap your foot in 8th notes and you'll get the same feel as a swing feel with 8th notes but having the tempo twice as fast. When you play 16th notes swing, it is the same kind of thing as if you divide the 4 16th notes into 6 notes (sextuplet) into 2 groups of 3 notes just like Alvaro has mentioned in post #4. Just a bad term i guess from your question. If you mean that you play the 1st and 3rd notes of a triplet then it is right but they are not equal. Subscribed to as I feel I may learn a few things from this.Ĭlick to expand.Your 2nd question is a little bit off and I,m sure some people might have told you about the first and 3rd triplet notes been equal is wrong. So of it is a question of notation I also would like to hear from those way more qualified than me about the correct way, but as a player if I saw the 16th/8th dotted on a score I would question its intention, but if I saw the 1/4 and 8ths grouped as triplets I would swing it. I have just tried it and I fell into like a fast shuffle once I up the tempo. So for me I feel a true 16th note swing is just an 8th swing played at twice the tempo.īut the feel would be lost.just not enough time for the ratio of 2/3rds and a 1/3rd to be appreciated and give me the time and space to swing. To play it correct, for me,it would be 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 played as a triplet, so the ratio of the 1/4 note and 1/8 note is back to a 2.1 ratio. So for me there is no rooms to swing.as I feel it, but I may be wrong and this may be a notation thing on the correct way to write it rather than play it. I see it in ratios,so I use a 2:1 ratio for beat subdivision which in effect is two thirds plus one third, so it could be taken that swung 16ths are just swung 8ths but twice as fast, so that may be a case of just bad notation, after all tempo is everything (with the time sig) as to the relationship.īut the use of dotted 16ths with the 8ths has a 3:1 ratio due to the use of the dotted note. Not sure if I understand your application.īut I have seen dotted 8th and 16th notes used which looks right, but would in fact be a 3.1 ratio not a 2.1 ratio ![]()
