Some fine information. My additions...
I did some research and found that someone said that during the 7/8 part, the guitars are in tandem (written as 14/8 by this author) and he claims that the 2nd guitar shifts to a 13/8 riff, which of course creates an offset that grows and then comes back to meet the original riff in tandem again at the appropriate time - in this case after 7 measures of 14/8. Is this another way of saying what you said Roger? Agree? Disagree?
And thanks for the unintentional compliment, Yesspaz. hehe. What I mean is, a band I was in up til earlier this year did that time signature overlap thing. One example was a song we did with an interlude that broke down like this:
Bass: riff for 6 beats, riff for 8 beats et al
Drums: 7/8 et al
Keyboard: Ascending chords over minor scale every 4 beats et al
It all matched up every 28 beats, which we'd sometimes accent. That is to say, every 28 beats we'd all begin our progression in tandem on the 1. And after 224 beats (8 repetitions) we'd move back into 6/8, 4/4, 6/8, 4/4 that was the rest of the song. Man I love doing that.
