Members Avalanchemaster Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I discovered today that I fall back on good 'ol 6/8 pretty often. It has a great feel. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chubrocker Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 Ramones "1, 2, 3, 4" sums it up for me. I like most songs in the Key of K (for Kick A$$). 3/4 and 7/8 are faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jasper383 Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 but one that I can hear?guess I will have to look for a download or something? Here's a short clip of it. It's not actually a time signature I habitually play in. http://www.pandora.com/music/song/don+ellis/bulgarian+bulge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HORSE Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 You need to ask your music teachers what the definition of an odd meter is... 3/4 is a simple triple meter, not odd.6/8 is a compound duple meter, not odd.9/8 is a compound triple meters, again not odd. 7/8 5/89/8 3/46/8i loves me some odd meter:love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HORSE Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I was going to correct the other mentions of 6/8 as an odd time, but since yours had multiple false odd meters, I figured I'd use you as the example. Also, I don't know about the other posters, but are pursuing a music degree (I think), so I automatically hold you to a higher standard! And no, 3/4 is NOT an odd meter. I know it has an odd number of beats, but it is still a simple meter. An odd meter is a time signature that cannot be broken down into equal groups of 2 or 3. 3/4 is just a simple triple meter. And, what are you talking about with a 6/8 hemiola over 3/4? Do you mean just playing 8th notes in 3/4? Or do you mean it the other way, playing 3 quarter notes in 6/8 to create a 3 over 2 feel? In response to the original topic, I suppose 7/8 and 7/4 are good standby odd meters for me. The fusion band I'm in at my university was playing Weather Report's 'Black Market' last week that has a couple bars of 7/8. Last year we performed Dave Holland's 'How's Never". Check it out, it has a pretty quirky, syncopated 7/8 feel (although I tended to feel it in longer 7/4 bars).

Members Crescent Seven Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I find myself playing in 6/8 alot, it's a great feel for hard rock. 3/4 also. I've discovered that almost all Chevelle songs are in 6/8, in case anyone cares. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Avalanchemaster Posted October 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuaeWVmqHoc this one is pretty cool and sort of shifts.....reminds me of a Meshuggah rhythm... could you count it as 8/8 + 3/8? or would that be 8/8 + 3/4?
