i love to play 6+6+2 or sometimes spice it up and switching from 14/8 to 15/8 (7+6+2) which sounds so groovy
That can be real cool!!!!!!
Just now tried to make sense of a tune a needed to write my drums into.After a lot of months I finally came to the 14/8 bar measurement. I really want to surface that odd time signature song into you when it comes together. Thanks a lot. Really helped me!
Awesome!
Thank you
all i wanted to know what 14 - 8 is
There's tune I like a lot called "Lila's Dance" (Mahavishnu Orchestra) that I discovered has a 14/8 piano intro. I have NO idea what that involved, so I searched UA-cam and came upon this.
I'm not saying that I understand it any better, but my question is...
If reading/playing music with time sigs as complex as this that requires having to count out loud, what happens if you lose your place and can't remember what sub-count you're on (the first or 2nd 6th beats ...or the 2 beats) and how does one comfortably focus on phrasing or be melodic when you're too busy counting?
I know what you mean. Of course it’s important to practice with a metronome, first with 6/8 which is difficult enough.. Then later when that feels natural to insert the 2/8 in between. Of course it is impossible to count to 14 on every bar so you have to split it in a way.
Why not call it 7/8?
Of course, if you think that is easier, but the thing is when you swap to 13/8 it’s going to be uneven but that’s fine. When you have dissected the 14/8 you can try for count 7 that’s a good thing.
