Konokol is the universal system of mastering rhythm without  drums. Guitar legend John McLaughlin, who has advocated this system of  learning rhythm for over 30 years, brings it all together with Konokol  master Selvaganesh Vinayakram, one of the foremost percussionists from  India. Divided into six chapters, the student moves from basic  understanding of rhythm into the wonderful world of improvisation.  Exercises are explained and demonstrated followed by improvisations which  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.
