I play this song on guitar all the time. I tried to feel it in 6/4 and a bunch of other stuff but I found that it’s a lot easier to just play how it sounds.
Well explained, I find your style of playing and your style of explaining things really easy to understand. Keep on keeping on. love the videos.. Jas The Bass. On The Emerald Isle..
I actually own the tablature/notation book that the band released that explains how to play all of LP 1 as well as their EP. Never Meant is notated as 6/4. However, I never could quite understand the groove, but thinking of it as 4+3+3+2 made the most sense to me. Great video, keep it up! Can you consider covering something off King Crimson's 1981 album Discipline? They do a ton of weird time signatures, especially in the title track Discipline
Hey Cobb I don’t know if you have heard of a band called after the burial, they have a song based on PI. The name of the song is PI the mercury god of infinity. Check it out. Headphone warning for the beginning, and wear your seatbelt.
You’re putting the third open hat on the wrong beat. It’s in that spot on the first play, but then the third open hat moves from the 4+ to the 3+. Also, it’s in 6/4, then becomes 4/4 after the “Never… meant” and then becomes 6/4 at the outro
Great explanation, but I think the third open hi hat is too early. On the recordings I hear something different. Maybe the drummer played it like you played it in the video you played
Hello There! Thanks for sharing. What is the time signature of the song I Feel For You as performed by Charley Crockett? Are all the instruments in the same signature?
It’s in 4/4. The guitar is definitely super syncopated. The trickiest part is the beginning with the hits which land on Beat 1, the & of 2 and & of 3. You could count that in 8/8 and the hits would be on 1, 4, 6. If that makes sense.

Yeah sometimes it all comes back to what feels right
I think the closest rhythmic grouping to “how it sounds” is the 4/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 2/4 but that’s just what feels right to me :)
12/4 makes the most sense to me. Weirdly enough 3/4 felt the second most comfortable. I was not expecting that.
Yes I agree. And written out the 3/4 breaks it into four measures where the rhythm looks the same in every grouping which makes sense on paper

Hell yeah I love both Discipline and Indiscipline. Probably my two favorite King Crimson songs.
I love this!! ❤ 🤘❤🤘❤🤘
If you listen to the bass and the kick, it’s better thought of in eighth notes, 7+6+6+5.
I mean, it IS Maths Rock after all!

Just listened to it and that is INSANE. I’d love to see Cobb break it down
Notation wise, 6/4 feels the most right to me, however, in practice it ends up being 3/4. Just easier to chunk up the beats that way.
12/4 for me
@66samus shirt!
I heard it in 12
because the guitar phrasing is 3 groups of 4, i feel it that way
It's crazy how many options this gives you, such a cool song! Lol, When you put the metronome next to it things Totally click! 🤣
If you listen to the bass and the kick downbeats together, it’s much better thought of in eighth notes, 7+6+6+5.
Love it! One of my all time favorite albums, that was great! Keep rocking my bro!
great video. thanks, drum wizard.
Try 3/2

I've always counted 1+2+3, 1+2+3, 1+2+3+4+5+6 and worked wonderful to me, even though i know it is 6/4

Wow ! Is very easy understand in 6/2 or 12/4 the subdivision is very easy to understand 🥹 thanks for sharing

Most of the time I feel it like 12/4 or 4/4 + 2/4 , which is equivalent to 6/4, but I don't know, counting 4/4 + 2/4 sound a bit different.

Well done and very interesting, keep on doing this kind of video!
