GUEST,clockwatcher Playing in fives & sevens (23) RE: Playing in fives & sevens 23 Aug 07

Thanks for the help so far.

M. Ted's idea of 'slow, quick, quick' would be an easy way to get started, but I might not play it with mathematical precision. Maybe it doesn't really matter.

Jonny Sunshine's idea of breaking 5/4 down into 10/8 (i.e. half-beats) works for the slower type tunes. That's how I used to think of Jethro Tull's 'Living in the Past' (and I can remember being amused watching them on Top of the Pops with all the kids in the studio trying to dance to it).
