Fishfacefour Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone, Just starting to work out Total Eclipse by Billy Cobham and I'm falling over the timing of the intro section. Is it shifting time signature or are they shifting the accents about. Time seems very elastic on this song and i can't quite work out what's happening. Any pointers or links to a decent transcription? Thanks! Edited June 21, 2023 by Fishfacefour Added video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I don’t know the song but listened a few times, definitely strange timing at the beginning where it changes, maybe put it on loop until you nail it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishfacefour Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Amazing thanks I'll give that a go. So looks like a mix of accent shifts and a sneaky bar of 7 at the end of the section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
