tarkus Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I can't locate the sheet music for USE ME (Bill Withers). What is the correct time for this song? I've been assuming 7/8 but that doesn't sem entirely correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarkus Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'm counting 8's - scratching my head thinking it's an exotic beat - oofa. I think the 16ths at the bridge were throwing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksoper Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Straight up 4/4. Love playing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobadohshe Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Well the line is damn syncopated so that's probably what's throwing you. Great tune!

Michelle ggurl Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 4/4. Fun tune to play! Original Latin Jazz CD Baby "I am not certain how original my contribution to music is as I am obviously an amateur." Patti Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonksDream Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Look up the live version on YouTube. It gets my vote for "Most Restraint Ever Shown By A Clavinet Player". Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
