I have a few questions regarding the following lick:
It runs for about 8 bars and starts at 53 seconds into the video (it is a time marked lick so will start playing automatically at the correct position).
1) What is the time signature of the backing track (I am assuming 4/4)?
2) What is the BPM of the track (Is it 80 or 160 perhaps?)
3) I can't get my head around how the beat is being subdivided for this lick. It appears that the first part of the lick (6 notes cycling 3 times) is spread across two beats which means 9 notes per beat, same for the next position of the lick, and then transferring to 6 notes per beat for the remainder of the run.
Is this correct? Doesn't seem right for some reason. Maybe the track is actually 240bpm (??) and then he is playing triplets or soemthing?
Really appreciate any help on this one. It is probably a bit easier if you own the DVD as he goes through the actual lick, but he doesn't go through the beat subdivision or how to play it acrosss the track so it will lock in with the beat.
Thanks for any assistance.
