What chord is this one: C3, C#3, D3, D#3, E3, F3, F#3, G3, G#3, A3, A#3, B3?
The I-hope-you-like-300-volume-metal-guitars chord
I don’t know about anyone else but the first chord I learned was the octave.
Just thought I’d add a bit on something related to odd time signatures: Poly-rhythms and Poly-meter. (If you liked odd time signatures, you’ll love this)
First: poly-rhythm. Poly-rhythm, in a basic sense, is fitting two “groups” of notes into one time signature. I.E. fitting a group of four notes and a group of three notes into a measure of 4/4, evenly, so that the one count for each rhythm matches up. Box pattern for a “4/3” poly-rhythm (o being a beat and x being a rest):
3: oxxoxxoxxoxxoxx
4: oxxxoxxxoxxxoxxx
Next: Poly-meter. Poly-meter is basically having two instruments in a song play in different time signatures. You could also have it being each hand playing a different time signature if you’re on a keyboard type instrument. For instance, you could have the drums in a rock song play in 4/4, while everything else played 6/8 (from “In Limbo” by Radiohead). Or, if you wanted to go crazy with it, you could have drums play in 6/8, guitar in 7/4, and vocals in 5/4 (from “Rosetta Stoned” by Tool, at the end of the song).
So, challenge for all of those who will put a “challenge accepted” meme picture: make a song using at least six consecutive measures of any poly-rhythm, and at least four measure of consecutive poly-meter. :twisted:
