Wheres 1 ??? Jackie Wilson Higher and Higher

agree with kesslari. I count the bass as coming in on the "and" before 4. (So yeah, 3&, like you said).

"1 ee and a 2 ee and a 3 ee and a 4 ee and a"

The bass at the top of the song comes in on the "and" before 4.

And the drums come in on the "and" before 4 also.

Great song, great thread.

That seems like counting in half time to me. In the same time you got to four, I'm at 8 (or 4 twice), and the bass comes in on the 2 of the second bar of the count in.

Listen to the drums. The snare is hitting on 2 and 4. The way you count it the snare is hitting on the and of every beat.

Whataya think?

I tell you what, this one would turn ANYONE around the first few times that you heard it.

"There's the one ... no wait, it's ... uh ... oh jeez ..."



I used to do that in a band a few years ago. Great song... Argument after argument over how to keep it all together.
