This happens once again, the pattern is always the same it's just modulated to another fret. Then: ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ -------------------0---------------------- --7----7----7----7------------------------ --8--5-8--5-8--5-8------------------------ ------------------------------------------ The first measure here is in 11/8, counted: ONE two Three FOUR five Six SEVEN eight Nine TEN Eleven (with Caps=upbeat, ALL CAPS=downbeat) Then the next few are in 5/4, counted: ONE two Three FOUR five Six SEVEN Eight NINE Ten Each time (but one) they come in to the quieter building parts, the first measure is in 11/8 as above, then they settle into 5/4. At the end of one of the building sections, RF plays: ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- --5-6-r-6-5-r-3-5-r-5-6-r-6-5-r-3------- --5-6-r-6-5-r-3-5-r-5-6-r-6-5-r-3------- ---------------------------------------- (even eighth notes) Then the bass kicks in for two bars of 5/4, then the whole band kicks in with RF playing the above, which is in 4/4 it turns out. I think at this point they cease playing in the same time measure. . .have to check that one out. I know there are some errors in this, and I've left some things out, so feel free to append as necessary. Taylor Sherman
