Drumless Backing Track Funk in 7/8 Time (120 BPM)

Purchase the audio here: seanarmitagemu...
This drumless backing track is in one of the more common odd times, 7/8. But if you're here, you're probably familiar with 7/8 time.
If not, what helped me was to break down this meter into groups of 2's and 3's. I'll do my best to explain: think of any odd time in groups of 2's and 3's when you're counting, and it'll get a whole lot simpler. It's easier to count, and you'll also start to hear the 'swing' of it if you accent the "one" when you're counting aloud.
I read somewhere to count it as "ap-ple" (for the 2 group) and "gall-op-ing" (for the 3).
The reason for these words (I assume) is that they are very easy to speak and require less effort than physical saying "one, two, one two, one two, three". That way more energy is devoted to making sure you're playing in time.
This concept can be applied to ANY odd time with an eighth note feel.
Here I'm doing ap-ple ap-ple gall-op-ing (1-2,1-2,1-2-3) to get my seven. But you can break it up anyway you want.

[@maxwelljefferson2633]

not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last few days xD

[@tracedarren9921]

@Maxwell Jefferson Yea, been using Instaflixxer for years myself :D

[@iboyyesgeesraveyes]

The guitarist is so far beyond being layed back it's down right out of time in the B sections.

[@SeanArmitageMusic]

I'll have a chat with him

[@iboyyesgeesraveyes]

Its serious a proper shame as the arrangement is killer mate.

[@SeanArmitageMusic]

@@iboyyesgeesraveyes oh yeah it's all good I know there is some sloppiness here but it was one of my first tracks.

[@michaeljordanfromspacejam4315]

Not only the best 7/8 track, probs the best track I've played to so far.

I must be having a stroke.

[@jamesbryce5187]

they mess up their time in this

[@goesjem]

If you drum on top of it, it actually really works. There is nothing wrong with a push or pull. I really like it!

[@gt3065]

yeah this wack. time is messed up
