About time signatures....

[cmcdmb]

Man can Dave and the boys make you work for your money. I always love it when dmb creates a song with an odd time signature, it really shows talent and maturity. For those new guitarts out there, a time signature is basically the underlying "time" as it were, when a particular part of a song repeats. Most songs are in 4/4, 4 beats a measure, each beat a 1/4 note. But sometimes dave will go crazy and make parts in 6/8 or 5/4 or the seldom 7/8. Rapunzel has in fact parts in 5/4, 3/4, 4/4, and 7/8...all of which help the funkiness.
anyway i just wanted to talk about You Never Know: have you guys tried counting the time signature of the verse? its crazy, its 3 5/8 parts and a 6/8 part, so the whole verse is in like 21/8...its crazy
the other parts are wholly 6/8

man i love dmb...and i love guitar!
