Shredworthy solos
Misereatur:
The best way to nail something like that is just to sit with a metronome and count beats at a very low tempo, and then try to play it while counting.
But that is probably so annoying it hurts.
Why are you playing it in 7/4 anyway?
Bastardous Bassist:
Oh, don't I know it. I would just be counting and playing. I'd go "1...2...3...4...1-DAMNIT!" I'm playing it in 7/4 because 1) it works really well and 2) I need to learn how to play in "odd" time signatures, especially these days when "odd" times are much less, well, odd.
Patrick:
For those of you with difficulty soloing in 7/4, take a listen to the sax solo in "Money" by Pink Floyd. It has a lot of good rhythmic examples to play around with.
nescience:
Then the song turns into fucking 4/4 for the guitar solo because Gilmour was too fuckin' pussy to write a solo in 7/4!
Patrick:
Yeah, but the whole 7/4-to-4/4 switch is well-executed, and a lot of musicians have trouble doing that. Props to the band for that.
