Lo and behold, John Myung has written a new column...will it stick around for all us little people who play bass ?> This is something I brought to the attention of 'The Mirror' list about a month back. John Myung's first column for the magazine appeared several months ago and is apparently a bi-monthly occurrence. I think you will find that this is is third (or maybe second) column for the magazine. Check out John's Yamaha signature 6 string bass with special considerations on the weight side if you play bass. Personally I have the Steinberger copy (Hohner) cricket bat shaped bass (4 string but they made a 5 string too) which is perfect for girlie bass players under 5'8" tall ...............

Normally you would count it like 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3, with the emphasis on each 1. This actually a combination of three 3/8 measures and that isn't odd at all. If you count your way, you MAKE it odd however. It's quite an interesting thing you have there:-) That way you have a 5/4 measure wich isn't complete, there is 1/8 note missing...

You could 9/8 like this: 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2. That's three groups of two and one group of three. This example can be heard in VOICES by OFB. The bassline emphasizes the 9/8 beat is this grouping. This just one of MANY ways to count odd time sigs. and counting 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 is just as valid a counting process. (/lower pedestal) The musician in me comes out and then just as quickly goes back into lurker mode.

Today I asked my local record dealer, if they'd marked Oct. 27th in their calendar ;-)) Looking rather astonished, I told him the secret, duhh! And finally he told me that OIAL is scheduled for Mo. 26th! So, keepin' my fingers crossed, I'll be able to listen and hopefully watch the highlight of the year...

( school band, rock band, hick band ( accidental im sure ) , and a lot of other stuff that involves music )...but 9/8 is common in certain types of peices...but 123456789 is correct...if you are counting in a fast four at about 160 Allegro. and one time signature that i noticed : 1/4 . that's a rare one. one beat, quarter note gets the beat. you know how it goes. another one is 6/4...count it in 6/8 actually. 12 3 45 6. then the classic 7/8 that David Holsinger ( a good composer for concert bands ) uses. then the usual 2/4. 3/4 . 4/4. 5/4. 6/4 ...and so on. the other rare one is 5/12, or if you really want to baffle your audience...try 12/8 . ( its in 4 actually ).

John's wife gave birth to a baby daughter, Kiara. (Congratulations!) After a couple days of hours & hours of massive improv jams recorded by myself, Jordan Rudess and Tony Levin, the session has been posponed until our schedules re-allign next month. The good news is that we will get to record & finish what has started off as another intense "Experiment". The bad news (for those of you keeping track of upcoming events...) is that this will likely delay my other project to a later time.... That's the latest for now....

So >it'd be ONE two three FOUR five six SEVEN eight nine. Compound meters Well, in my band's original, I'm accenting it as (its interchanging 4/4 and 9/8) ONE TWO THREE four ONE two THREE four FIVE six seven eight nine. I guess its just whatever fits the mood of the song.
