in the "Arriving Somewhere" version of 'Halo' you start with a sweet fill on the 3 "AND" of the bar. Did you improvise that fill and just "feel" the time behind it or do you have a bunch of fills that are 11/8ths in length?
Gavin Says:
I believe that fill is just triplets in groups of 5 - I can start something like that in any place in the bar and just ‘hear’ when to resolve it and come back on to a downbeat in 4/4.
It was improvised ‘on the spot’ - although I’ve played that grouping of 5 (in triplets) before - I don’t think I’d played that kind of fill (in that song) starting in that place in the bar before.
