ezbass Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Who knows what the 'verse' is in, it's probably jumping from something standard like 4/4 for one bar then to something like 5/4 for another. To be clear I'm not saying that's what it does, but it does sound compound. The 'chorus' just sounds like a straight 6/8 shuffle. All I know is that it's good to know someone else is listening to PSP too. They've gone a bit quiet recently (probably due to Pino and Si Phillips' session demands) but I hope they'll be back with more soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlebas Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I make the verse a bar of 15/8 followed by a bar of 7/8. IE: 1e+a 2e+a 3e+a 4e+a 1e+a 2e+a 3e+a 4e 1e+a 2e+a 3e+a 4e At least, I managed to count along with it that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Time signatures are such a subjective thing when it comes down to it, you can even see it in this video, Pino's tapping his foot in quarters and the keyboardist (don't know his name,I'm impressed I recognized Pino...) is tapping his foot along in eights, so they're both counting it differently. Personally I'd count it (the first bit at least) as 3 bars of 5/8 and a bar of 7/8, but that's equivalent to 2 bars of 11/8, or a bar of 15/8 and a bar of 7/8, or you could write it out as a single bar of 11/4. Personally I don't like time signatures bigger than 7/4, I think they're unwieldy, so that colours my hearing of time sigs, this could very will have been written as 11/4, but I prefer to break it down as w bars of 5.8 and a bar of 7/8. Music theory probably dictates which one is correct, but I think as long as it works for you, who's to say it's wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowender Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 2 bars of four, one bar of 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubassman Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 [quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1364019940' post='2020940'] 2 bars of four, one bar of 3. [/quote] +1 on that .... keep it simple!! ..the pulse and vibe is over three bars . Simple as that. Behind the melody count and feel 4/4 first bar, 4/4 again in 2nd bar , then a bar of 3/4, ...much easier than thinking of the phrase and counting 11 beats ( I challenge anyone to get a groove counting 11s )! Really enjoyed listening to Pino - thanks for the post ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 [quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1364022212' post='2020943'] I challenge anyone to get a groove counting 11s [/quote] Challenge accepted: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox9SfroL0uQ[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI-us49j5-o[/media] Of course groove is subjective, but for me those both have 11/8 sections that are really easy to lock into and groove along to.

ubassman Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks for that ! ( ...I kind of deserved that didn't I ! ) Agreed, both are easy to lock into and groove along to. Interesting though that what I hear particularly in the second clip is 5 whole beats and a quaver tagged onto the end. For me thats the vibe of the music i.e. "1,2,3,4,5 & " ( the keyboard leads the way ) rather than counting 11 quick quavers in each bar . With the original PSP post I personally find that I can follow the groove really quickly feeling two easy bars of 4/4 with a 3/4 bar thrown in. For me much easier than counting 11/4 - I think as long as you feel the groove it probably doesn't matter how you do it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
