Hey,
I am learning a song that jumps around between 9/4, 6/4, 3/4 and 4/4.
I have transcribed the whole thing. Unfortunately, I am not a good-enough reader to just sit there and sight read the whole song. So I am turning to making a chart to learn/play it.
I understand how drum charts work with simple tunes in 4/4 and love how easy the shorthand charts are to write/read. However, I am not too sure what to do with more complex/progressive pieces like how I described above.
Do you approach it in exactly the same manner?
Do you try and get equal numbers of bars running across the page? Even though, the numbers of beats might not add up across a page?
Cheers,
Andy
