what the fucks this time signature
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRfdgqOTFZ0
i though 5+4+3 at first but it doesnt fit
>>63208291
give it a shot senpai
>>63208221
The riff is divided in two different time signatures.
First part is 13.5/4 (or 27/8 if you prefer), second part is 14.5/4 (or 29/8).
The best way to count it according to the riff would be : 7/4 + 6.5/4 and 7/4 + 7.5/4.
Or even better, just memorize the riff and play along to it. Best way to play prog is to not analyze and just feel it.

Thx for the discovery btw, that song is pretty cool.
>>63208221
>>63208459
Sorry I meant 12.5/4 and 13.5/4. So count it as 7/4 + 5.5/4 and 7/4 + 6.5/4.
>>63208534
ah right, 7/4+5.5/4 explains why i though 12 counts initially
half counts tho
What the fuck is the time signature for the beginning part of Why Don't You Eat Carrots?
The part after the feedbacky part, obviously.
>>63208580
i think it's just 4/4 with a lot of syncopation
>>63208459
>>63208534
>>63208572
>x.5/x
that's the most illegal thing I've ever seen
tho I really can't make head or tails of this track, so I can't help with a more correct explanation
still, good band OP, hadn't heard of them
>>63208572
Yeah, you can count by Eighths Notes tho, but that's not really the feeling here. If you like Math Rock/Metal Prog/Djent and shit you'll have to get used to those half counts
>>63208702
Where is it written that'd be illegal ?
There's a difference between 10/8 and 5/4, you don't play both the same. Just like there's a difference between 12/8 and 6.5/4.
When you're playing a 7/8 for example, if the tempo is slow enough to still count Eighths notes, you'd probably be counting as "1 2 1 2 1 2 3". But if the tempo gets too quick, you'd be counting Quarter notes this way "1,2,3 and 1,2,3 and". Which is basically 3.5/4.
>>63208828
>>63208727
meant 13/8 not 12/8 obviously, fuck me.
>>63208828
Ok I completely get what you're saying here, but do people actually write with halves like this: 6.5/4? It's just something I had never seen before, and if I were to show it to a sheet-reading musician I feel he would smack me on the head.
>>63208221
I hate it when people ask WUT TIME SIGNATUREEE IS THISS
It's what ever the fuck you count it in you pretentious tool (fan)
>>63208889
What
He's asking for a correct way to count this
You can count it in 4/4 all the way you want you won't be able to play it. Even tho the best way is to just feel the riff.
>>63208889
WHO CARES
>>63208889
>>63208940
That statement was ALMOST correct
>you can count in 4/4 all the way
There, NOW it's true.
>>63208967
Alright dude, I guess you don't have time to explain, i'm not debating with a wall
>>63208889

ur music is inferior desu
>>63208595
I really don't think it is though
Could you define "syncopation" though? I forget the meaning of the word
>>63209107
Syncopations are non constant various rhythms that sometimes seems off beat.
This song for example is full of syncopations, but still just is 4/4.

>>63209424
I like syncopations then
Thanks, I'll listen to Faust and see if I can hear it
>>63209448
I dont think Faust is 4/4 actually. I mean, the percussions are obviously staying in 4/4 all along, but the melody isn't. I think the melody is just build around multiple time signature instead of a constant one.
