Hi everybody! My band are working with a song which have a slightly odd timing riff.
For simplicity, let us pretend that riff lasts three straight bars of 4/4, and then TWO triplet whole notes, making the last bar length something like 5.3/4.
Is this even possible tabbing out? I`ve tried several times without luck, and it annoys me since it is fairly easy to play. Are we breaking "musical rules"?
Two solutions that I currently apply:
1) Have the riff go three rounds instead of the intended 4 such that the odd notes add up. And giving the "entire riff" a crazy bar length like 16/4 (making the metronome go crazy because of the triplets).
2) Cutting out the odd tripled notes for the sake of quantizing it, and rather do the triplet thing when we play live.
Suggestions?
I am on the wrong computer now, but I can include a screen shot from guitar pro later if that helps.
