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?


Agreed. What he said was pretty much what I said from the perspective of looking at the sheet music, whereas I'm going strictly by the sound.

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:
[snip: massive multi-meter]


Wow. It takes a LOT of concentration to be able to pull that off.

My first exposure to multi-meter was in my high school marching band. We did a 6/8-4/4 multimeter. Doesn't sound like much? YOU try doing that on a football field!

Man I love doing that.
Say on. There's a certain sense of accomplishment when you can pull something like that off and make it sound good...
