Who cares about the time signature, its 12/8 and the melody is on beats1&3&5 for all of you who want to count along. Its 12/8 look beyond that because its about the groove, not the numbers.

@Eradicateify That's awesome! Thanks. But I think he meant is there a version of the song "Chords" from The Remedy on video :)

Did you transcribe these yourself?

[Eradicateify]

@spongey222

I was transcribing the A section then i got frustrated at the B section and found a lead sheet. So in short i got through the A section and when it went to the B section i gave up XD.

[Jamahhl]

This is some good fucking music. Hell yea.

[curiousnomad]

These guys live INSIDE the music. In the moment- getting lost.

[pfarnac1]

they kill the ever-loving shit out of this. intrepid vibe through and through.

So Ballard is playing straight quavers in his high hat while playing 6/8 groove?

...

nice

[wakeb1444]

@ricyarborough The song is in 6/4.

[ricyarborough]

@wakeb1444 Well it's sort of like a 12/8...

I just said "6/8" because the groove he's playing is loosely based on a 6/8 Afro Cuban groove...

[FuchsFran]

@wakeb1444 Its in 12/8. Listen to the melody. You can hear that the phrases fit in 4 beats, and every beat is subdivided in 3

[misteredwino]

Let me be the first to say that this is fucking badass! wow. Great band.
