17/8 is a time signature....

[QUOTE=MarkTremonti]Tool-Right in Two 11/4[/QUOTE]

isn't mark tremonti the creed guitarrist...?

instead of counting quarter notes...subdivide into 8th notes. much more accurate that way. unless it's going by way too fast.

Actually it isn't more accurate, because you may end up counting quarter triplets, therefore counting 1 2 3 4 5 6, so then you think the song is in 3/4, but it's not. I had that problem for awhile.

subdivision is always more accurate rhythymically. i know i spelled that wrong.

how do you confuse duple and triple rhythm? I CANT SPEL RHYTM TODAY! oh my god i give up. rhythym. rhythm. dear lord.

Necrophagist People! Good god!

[QUOTE=King_Of_Terrors]But Dream Theater's Dance Of Eternity has alot.[/QUOTE]Indeed it does.

31/32?

54/32, 23/4, 2/32, 66/66 All of which are used in Faerie's Death Waltz which can be found [URL="http://memo.xight.org/images/web/2005-01-03-08-01.jpg"]here[/URL] and [URL="http://memo.xight.org/images/web/2005-01-03-08-02.jpg"]here.[/URL]

:lol:

That Mahavishnu Orchestra song is pretty strange.

wow, why the hell would someone bump my thread from more than a year ago?

I've had 2.5/6 and 2.5/12

Anyone can write a riff in 7/8, 13/16, 15/16, 31/32...but if you phrase the notes within the beat in a certain way, it'll sound pretty straight forward.

Or phrasing the notes weird in a bar of 4/4, that's what I like to hear rather than actually being stupidly technical, it just get boring after a while if it's too much imo.

Mastodon has some odd ones. 11/8, 13/8 etc.

Man, that link don't look too friendly...

i sightread that piece perfectly my first time through :rolleyes:

that is a very good point. props :]

DT's "The Dance Of Eternity" have really weird and lots of changing time signatures, such as 5/8, 14/16, 15/16, 11/4, it's takes forever to figure the whole structure out

yea it changes a lot, but it really isn't too hard to figure it out. if yo listen to the song enough times, then you can stop trying to count 1, 2, 3, 4...15 in your head and just play.

19/16 is a bitch to play in

i'd think of it as 5/4 then. with one less 16th note. i know that sounds obvious, but it really helps. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5twothree next bar please.
i've played my share of 19/16, 15/16, 17/16 bars and i know its easier said than done.

Messaien's Quartet for the End of Time. It has all the different instruments playing complex, completely different time signatures to the others, or something like that.

[QUOTE=Duncster]17/8 is a time signature....[/QUOTE]
I mentioned 34/16 and he posted 17/8, as if to correct me.

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]Necrophagist People! Good god![/QUOTE]
Yes, because 4/4 is just so off the wall, only Germans can comprehend it.



Also, that Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz is infinitely hilarious. I feel like buying a poster of it now.

[QUOTE=YouGottaBeCrazy]wow, why the hell would someone bump my thread from more than a year ago?[/QUOTE]
Some spammer bumped it, so we jut sort of got it going again

Apparently Radiohead's "Pyramid Song" is in no time signature at all. It's just like improvised time.

I heard from somewhere that New Milennium Cyanide Christ by Meshuggah has one measure the whole song. I think it works out to 216/7 or something ridiculous like that.

There'd be no point to a time signature then.

...?

[QUOTE=CocaineAndCrucifixes]Some spammer bumped it, so we jut sort of got it going again[/QUOTE]

ah okay, its all good

Ooo, it's in 4/4, but try and play In Death Is Death by Meshuggah. The intro is a 16 bar phrase and doesn't repeat, just fukking randomness. It does sound pretty ghey imo though, but it's kinda funny to listen to.

No, Pyramid song is in 4/4.. obviously. There's even drums on the tracks that emphasize this
