Some time ago I published a video on how 5/4 is the grooviest odd-time signature.

Well, I had to eat my words. One commenter on that video pointed out a fantastic piece in 7/8 that is even groovier... I can just say 'wow'.

It does not happen often that I'm surprised in matters of music... but this hit me like a ton of bricks.

It's a pity that many musicians think that 7/8 and 7/4 are unusable time signatures for most styles (except maybe for progressive rock/metal) when in fact using them - in any style - is much easier than you think.

Also, since time signatures based on 7 are uncommon (at least for the time being...), just by using them you create distinctive music instantly and stand out from the crow of people writing in 4/4.

So, for our video series on different time signatures, this week we see all the 7-based time signatures and how to apply them in practice.

Get ready to groove to some non-standard rhythms! And if you are skeptical that 7/8 can be used in music that makes you want to dance... just watch this video and I hope it will surprise you how it did to me
