Odd Time Signature Metal

Awesome Jerry - you have some very interesting rhythm chops. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

Nice, we could use some more lessons like this!

Great riffing Jerry,love odd timings!!

that's just awesome!!

Nice!

This is very cool, and you did a great job with the drums as well! I always have a ton of trouble trying to do drums for odd time signatures and maintain a good groove for it.

Did you use addictive drums for this? Any chance you'd share the drum score ( or midi if you used addictive )? =)

yes this will add to my skills for sure! Always great to play in odd timeings!

Good work Jerry !!

Perfect! Great rythm ideas!

Really metal man. Gonna get to this when i get have time to practice.

Real cool, man. Good job.

Very cool, i love the progressive feel to it.

Yeah know, I never really have seen the point of different time signatures. It all sounds like the same to me!

I smell Dream Theater influence Some really interesting stuff!

Really good stuff

Awesome! I would love for you to build us a solo over this!!! Something really angular and spastic.

Hmm, i don't get this :/

great riffing. thanks.

To those of you who aren't quite sure what time-signatures are all about. I suggest going through these two of Andrew's theory lessons real carefully:

time signature

odd time signatures

Basically it means that if a riff doesn't loop evenly (meaning you can count to 2, 4 or 8) - it's an odd time signature. This is quite unusual so it gives a different, unexpected vibe!

Oh MY GOD !!! I love this one !!!! I don't mention I'm a DREAM THEATER FAN !!!! hehehehee ... and tomorrow I'm going to a concert of them !!!

This is not the real Jerry...this dude has a beard!!

J/k

Sounds good, and i went through andrews lessons but i don't get time signatures at all. This is why i never touch theory

Very good! I definiaeiteley gain from these odd time signature lessons!

Great, thanks a lot! I was looking 4 smth like that after Gabriel's Modern Metal 3!!!
Love it, thank U!

thanks jerry!!!!!!!!
Great lesson i want more!
