Headbanger's Course - 7/8 Time Signature

Today we will explore the odd time signature 7/8. This time signature has one less beat than 4/4. I like to count it 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3 ... But some like to count to seven. If so, then count it as "sev" on 7 so that you easily count it as one beat. This is an original composition I am working on. Yeah, I'm working on a lot of originals as of late and not finishing them. But I hope this will be finished before too long. Anyway, enjoy, learn, and check out the links below. ;) The guitar teacher that inspired me to write a song in 7/8 time was Gregory Bolomey. He is known as "AxeOfCreation." Check him out: axeofcreation.com www.youtube.com The tone of my guitar is made in POD Farm. You can download the tone here: line6.com Basically you want a lot of mids and treble if you want the djenty tone. Let the bass guitar do the filling in. Download the backing tracks for this lesson in different speeds used in the demonstration. The bass is excluded so you can play in any tuning. rapidshare.com
