What's So Great About Septuple Timing? (7/4 and 7/8)

7/4 and 7/8 aren't oft-used time signatures in pop and rock, but when septuple meter is used, it stands out! Watch this video to better understand how septuple meter can be used using a few examples.

I look at a few of my favourite prog, pop and rock songs - and a jazzy tune too - to explore the different ways of playing with septuple meter in songs.

Things obviously get a little proggy, because odd time signatures, but there's something for everyone here.

Songs mentioned in this video:
- Money; Pink Floyd
- Solsbury Hill; Peter Gabriel
- Unsquare Dance; Dave Brubeck
- Lucky Seven; Chris Squire
- Thunder Child; Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
- Hello Hello; Caravan
