Would you mind sharing some examples?
- cormacrelf 7y agoA classic example is Roxanne by The Police. ~132bpm verse, ~138bpm chorus by my rough measurement. You can really feel the rhythm section wind down after the first chorus, which wouldn’t have worked if the guitar hadn’t waited two bars to come in and resolve the shifting tempo with precision jabs right as the band hits the original pace. Great moment.
- agumonkey 7y agoA copeland example on HN, what a nice day :)
- cormacrelf 7y agoI’ve been watching Rick Beato’s “What makes this song great?” series on YouTube. Highly recommended.
