Jerry Lee12th January 2012at first I was hesitant, but after playing a couple of notes of it I was hooked. This is sweet. Kind of hear a hint of an Ozzy song in there too. I am going to enjoy this series.

Hey ,thanks guys
!
Odd rhythms are very interesting and has always attracted me. Macedonian and Bulgarian rhythms are one of the most difficult odd rhythms, and with beautiful ethnic motifs - is a complete pleasure

Hi GMC!
The ride continues, we arrived in Macedonia! The country known for its fascinating odd rhythms and musical heritage!
The folk music of Macedonia is very diverse in terms of melodic forms, but also it boasts a considerable variety of keys and it is especially rich rhythmically.The most interesting feature, in that respect, are certainly the so called uneven or asymmetric rhythm. They are measured in 7/8, 9/8,7/8+5/8, 12/8, 13/8 etc. The complex rhythm of a song or an instrumental piece is framed usually by a tapan or tarambuka .
For this occasion I chose an 7/8 time signature, which is very useful and it's kind of a basic rhythm for uneven patterns. Count it as follows - 123/12/12 !
Equipment: Sonar8 DAW, Amplitube 3 guitar plugin, Ibanez SC 3120 Saber J Custom
Tempo : 75 bpm
Signature : 7/8
Chord progression:E,F,Dm,Am,C
Scale used : Phrygian Dominant7
Techniques: Alternate picking
