So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

Help with "Jimi Thing" Project

Unread post by cgiles » Thu Apr 12, 2007 9:38 am

I have a project that I'm doing for the Music Appreciation class I'm taking. I have to present the song "Jimi Thing," as performed on the Live at Luther College CD, to my class and have to describe the meter or rhythm, harmony, melody, and motives.

I know that there are countermelodies played between Dave and Tim on their guitars, the song is in the E key, and the tempo is roughly 103 bpm. Any other info that you guys can divulge will be greatly beneficial.

Thanks!

If someone just knows the meter of the song, that will help a lot. 4/4 or whatever.

From a quick forum search

Time signature is 4/4

Tempo is 100bpm

Not sure how accurate they are but the guys on this forum are pretty spot on.

Thanks, that's really what I needed. Anything more is just icing on the cake.

Can someone explain the motif in the song. I know that Dave plays the main melody, which repeats, but I don't know how many notes are in it or if it even qualifies to be called a motif.

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": There are five different types of chairs in this hotel room.

I'd call the main riff (played during the intro - 7h9 etc.) a motif. It's a riff, it repeats.
