Check out Ben's new lesson: "The Devil Is In The Diad", and then post a reply to today's topic.
Ben states: "The lesson uses 3 different time signatures - 4/4, 6/8 & 2/4." My question for you is, do you find it difficult to adjust to the different time signatures? What tips can you suggest to help those who might have a harder time. |

You can also break odd time signature with bigger numbers like 11/8, counting 4+4+3 and so on.
It's a good exercise to listen to some prog music trying to find the right time signature. -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Yeah, I have trouble counting odd time signatures. Jerry has a good point!

Practice with those time signatures with the metronome, that should be enough for a brain to acquire a feel for them later on

If you can sing or tap-out the beat with your hands, then you understand it enough to play it on your guitar. So listening and tapping along is the first step. Translating it to pick motion would be the second step - and it could be tricky - just like learning the Johnny Cash "dollar bill" strum sound takes practice ^.^
