On what beat do you hear the beginning?

* w w w .youtube . com /watch?v=9HLOS2fi2Vo

There was a minor debate during our practice last week. I ended up just
watching the drummer's hands and we did it successfully, but it would be
slick to come to some agreement on the issue. Sounds like 3-1/2 - ish to me.

How the hell I'm I supposed to write down music with text... I'll give
it a try. This is where I hear it. 4 and a eight.


xx x x
|'''|'''|'''|'''|''' And so on...
1 2 3 4 1

The longer lines are for the beats, smaller for eights. With a fixed
lenght font, it should show correctly...

Damn english language... I meant 4 and a 16th. By the way, isn't it
silly to call the notes whole, half, quarter, etc...? It just works
when you play in 4/4 ! Anyway. It is 4 and a 16th.

I liked your diagram, I thought it conveyed what you wanted to say very
well. And accurately too.

For this kind of thing you want to use non-proportional font
like Courier. But Frederic has the timing right.

4 1/2, not 3 1/2. You definitely hear 4 drumstick clicks before it
starts.

My ears tell me to come in on the "4&", the anacrusis. BTW, Tommy
Castro is a monster blues guitarist.

I agree with you on the 4 clicks. 4 distinct clicks, about a1/8 rest,
then badah...
