timing change

[phlanger]

does ayone else use time changes?

i dont understand timing or scales at all,some guitar teacher was listening to me play his acoustic and told me i go from 4/4 to 3/3 to what ever else in the bat of an eye...also going from D scale to F# or whatever...and major to minor......now if i knew what the hell he was talking about mabey it would mean something to me....

do any of you mess around with timing? scales?

somedays im glad i understand nothing...but it makes it hard to find band mate :)

it's hard to explain time changes with out tapping the beats to you but you should really have your guitar teacher explain time changes to you.

basically... lemme see if i can explain it to you via text. think about a bass drum (boom) and a snare drum (tap). imagine that they are all the same length (one second, half second, whatever)

the down beat is on the BOOM. note that the 3/4 time will sound very similar to a waltz-like beat. guitar songs written in 3/4 will have a very fluid motion to it.

4/4
BOOM tap tap tap BOOM tap tap tap BOOM tap tap tap
(1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4)

3/4
BOOM tap tap BOOM tap tap BOOM tap tap
(1-2-3, 1-2-3)

well i think time changing is needed unless you are by mistake puting it where it doesn't belong.
