Check out Dave Brubeck Quartet. He did some great things with time on his Time Out, Time Further Out and a third album whose title I can;t remember. Joe Morello was his drummer then; Paul Desmond on sax and Gene Wright on bass.
Things like "Pick Up Sticks", "Unsquare Dance" and "PanAm(flight nos. I can't remember). These are probably somewhere on YouTube. I know "Unsquare Dance" is, but the goofy video that goes with it is enough to gag...
wow i would love to play in different time signatures i try but but it just goes back to four four most of the time lol you guys really know what your talking about i need to learn from someone
yeah, but that's why i said it's all how you count. Like whoever told you that 3/4 and 6/8 are the same, they are not the same HOWEVER you can fit 3/4 into 6/8 and vice versa, it's all on what feel you want the song to have or if you're just trying to be creative. If you're sheddin never keep a one track mind with time signature or you'll sound stagnant, but in a gig or something yeah of course, keep that pocket, but you could still come out the box a little with fills & stuff. Where you from?
in most arguement cats can count they just dont know what they using to count...i had one cat try and tell me you can count 3/4 and 6/8 are the same...this is where note value comes into play 3/4 is waltz like 6/8 is pro rock sounding...cats get BPM twisted with count /8 slow or count in /4 fast.
yeah i feel ya man, that's why i thank God all the time that i was blessed to go to school for music and study all this stuff. But i am always learning about new techniques and tryin to take stuff out of the box ya know. That's why songs and meters like this one i will start with the basic time then take it to different meters just to be different man. Where did or do you study at?
YES!!! Now thats Bread 'n' Juice!!!!
