Pink Floyd - Money (Bass cover with tabs)

#basstranscription #basscoverwithtabs #oddtimesignatures This is a song from times when hits were written in odd time signatures. Odd time signatures. What is that? For example, a 5/4 time signature or 7/4 time signature, meaning that each bar does not contain the "usual" number of 2, 3, or 4 quarter notes, but rather 5 or 7. Odd time signatures are therefore also compound time signatures. For example, a 7/4 time can be composed of a 4/4 time and a 3/4 time (4+3). Or vice versa: 3+4. Pink Floyd's "Money" is in 7/4 time with a 4+3 phrasing, which is particularly evident in the drum part. In a typical rock groove the 1 and 3 of a bar is typically played with the bass drum and the 2 and 4 with the snare drum. This is the case here: 4-beat-Phrase (like a bar of 4/4): Beat 1: bass drum Beat 2: Snare drum Beat 3: bass drum Beat 4: Snare drum 3-beat-Phrase: Beat 5: bass drum Beat 6: Snare drum Beat 7: free The piece begins with the famous "Cash Register Loop". So with the repeated sounds of the old cash register. If you listen carefully , you will notice that these noises are also in 7/4 time. We have a different sound on each of the 7 beats: Beat 1: Fall of a sack full of coins (quieter) Beat 2: Cash register rattling Beat 3: jingling money Beat 4: Fall of a sack full of coins (louder) Beat 5: the cash register rings Beat 6: Shoveling sound, like running a shovel through coins Beat 7: Closing sound of the cash register "Money" begins with the ringing of the cash register and the trickling of coins, here without a beat. The next sound we hear is the shoveling sound of beat 6. So the loop starts on the upbeat and then runs for two bars. After the saxophone solo, which is also in 7/4 time, David Gilmour's guitar solo is in "normal" 4/4 time. There are also time changes in the verses itself. After the entry of the vocal part at the beginning of the song, there are eight bars in 7/4, followed by two bars in 4/4 (which I notated as a 8/4 bar to signify that the 7/4-phrase is just prolonged by one beat), one in 6/4 and again two bars in 7/4 before this sequence is repeated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you like to download the pdf transcription of the song you can become a patron for only $2 per month and get access to over 350 pdf transcriptions of all the bass covers I did on this channel!   / tombornemannbasslessons   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
