I was working on a song in 5/4 when I accidentally wrote this chonking big riff in 7/8. Sounds like Soundgarden with a Rammstein touch. I usually don't like 7/8 but this riff has something magical about it.
Tell yer drummer to play quarter notes on that 7/8 riff so you get a phat pulse over the bar line.
I don't have a drummer, but you might be the one to ask about another piece. All of it's in 4/4 except the main riff, which is (I think) 6/8. I really want to do a polyrhythm but I'm not sure how to make it flow with the straight 4/4 stuff. Any ideas?
Any 3:2 polyrhythm will work. Look up Pete Magadini on YouTube and learn to count 6:4 (same as 3:2). Also, buy his book: http://www.petermagadini.com/portfolio/polyrhythms-the-musicians-guide/.
I looked that guy up, but couldn't find him talking about 3:2. But I found another video that showed 3:2 AND 2:3 and one of those fit perfectly. I didn't realise I could simplify it to 3 and 2 - I was trying to find 4/4 over 6/8 and all sorts of nonsense. 3 and 2. Simple. Cheers.
Share it when you're done!
Do you plan to post it somewhere at some point?
Well, it's just a riff at this point. And my riffs tend to have sections, and I only have one section. Early days. If I make something worth sharing, I'll share.
Awesome! Can’t wait.
