On about 75/80% speed but need to clean it up the aforementioned sections. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Dik Tak Dik Ta-Ta Tak Dik Tak Dik Ta-Ta Tak and you start. Not sure if it makes sense. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Not saying I can easily play odd timings if they're done by someone else but when writing I find it easy to just improvise or write in weird time signatures. I've always viewed it like walking, talking etc... we don't do those things in a strict time like 4/4. They flow and change all the time so in music it should also be treated as natural. However, this piece is definitely tricky !! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I thought it was 4/4 and then played a drum loop and tried to play the rhythm. I couldn't. I then tried to analyze it and put it on paper and what did I find. It was 7/4 beat. This was probably 5 years ago. I was like, WOW! How did I come up with that. It felt natural though until I found out it was odd timing. I just did 3/4 as an "odd" beat till date. Anyways, I think I can do this at 105bpm. Need to record it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Still messy here and there but didn't want to spend lot of time recording as I think I got a "ok" take. Will practice more and bump the speed as well. Just wanted to say, hey I got the timing thing!

My take will be at either 80% (112) or 85% (119) of 140 bpm. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
