Hi all, thanks for listening!
@MonnoDB Hi Karen, great comments , thanks! I think I commented before that as a result of the time signature the vocal rhythm has to be very precise and structured or it just gets hard to listen to. Glad you commented on that. If I have a thing ....it's chord progressions
.
@cowparsleyman Hi Rich,You are right about the bass moving later in the song, that would have been a good idea....
, maybe next time
. thanks for the comments!
@kevysc Hi, yes I've had 10cc mentioned before, great band! Yep, get the fade in comment, it's something I've thought of before, but never employed it....yet! Pleased you got the time signature tension.
@rightly Hi, sounds like you're not a fan of prog rock....
. I tried to write a song about 6 months ago in 7/4 on the piano, and I just couldn't get anywhere. When I did metal and dust a few weeks ago, I played bass along with the drums and once I had the riff which I wrote very quickly , I had a handle on it and it became easier. So I think that's the key, find a way to get it to make sense when you're playing with it, and bass is a good place to start, you'll get it. I wrote this song on guitar and again, just played along until I found the rhythm and it became easier. I'm not a fan of trying to count 123,12 for a 5/4 as it interferes with my playing, so i just try to feel it. I am able to play along with bands who play complex time signatures but that's relatively easy, they've done all the hard work already
.
Cheers all thanks for listening!
