But I'm wondering, fantastic wonk-out though it is, if it is really in a non-standard time signature. I counted along and I made it 4 beats to the bar..... or am I missing something?

The other song i put forward was Luminol (well the first 4.5 mins of it) - I'm really into the bass lines though I can't decide on pick or fingers Drummers choice was Lune by Periphery which keeps the guitarist happy due to excessive use of delay effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Luminol is great (instrumentally anyway - I find the lyrics a bit cringe). It's as if SW was doing a Bond theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just in 9/8 On 09/07/2020 at 11:43, toneknob said: Golden Brown, 13/4 - as is Turn It On Again I'll go with Turn It On Again as being in 13/4, but I would say that Golden Brown is 3 bars of 3/4 and a bar of 4/4. It has that waltz type feel. The verses are all in 3, so it makes a bit more sense that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunoBass Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 'Yes' by the mighty Manics. 7/8 followed by 8/8 and on... (* C-bomb alert) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBass Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 This hurts my head. 15/8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple of bars of 7/4 here and there if I remember correctly too. They do the same thing the other way round in different people (the main riff) - alternating 7/8 and 4/4. As much as I love vertigo/infinity land Biffy, I am very glad they're still peddling weird rock in stadiums and festival main stages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRBboy Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Don't know if it's already been mentioned but Barracuda by Heart is a great song, think it switches between 4/4, 3/4, and 2/4. We were going to do it in a band I used to be in, but the drummer couldn't get his head around the timing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
