Talk:Sweet Child

message: Sorry, I seem to nit-pick more on Pentangle talk pages than to make decent contributions to the articles. But I can’t hear 6/8 time in I’ve got a feeling. It’s three fairly relaxed beats to the bar. Let’s call them crotchets: we can’t call them quavers or minims. Then they are divided into triplets. That makes 3/4 or 9/12, depending on which feature you want to stress. (I’d go for the latter.) —Ian Spackman 17:44, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I was responsible for the mention of 6/8 (and am also happy to engage in lengthy discussions about nit-picking Pentangle issues at the least provocation). I just checked my copy of the album and the sleeve notes say 3/4 so I'll edit it to that when I've finished writing this. I'm trying to remember why I thought 6/4, but my record deck is on the blink so I can't play the album to have another listen. I thought you could count a very slow 2-time with a bit of swing to it: (1)I (2) got a (1)feeling (2) con- (1)cern- (2) -ing (1)you etc. with a slight accent on the (1). You can then divide each of those beats into three, giving you a total of 6 in the bar. So you could count it like (1)I- (2) (3) (4) (5)got (6)a (1)feel- (2)ing (3) (4) (5) (6)con- (1)cern- (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)ing (1)you.... If you count it that way it also has the benefit that you get 12 bars for a complete verse, which  sounds right for a blues. So I was convinced it was 6  to a bar. However, I'll accept that the record sleeve is a more reliable source! Bluewave 15:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just noticed a very nice video of Pentangle performing this ca. 1970 on You Tube. Includes a rare smile from McShee. Jansch introduces and acknowledges that they stole it from someone! Bluewave 13:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

text: The source is the album sleeve which says (of this song) "Danny and Terry underline the time which switches between 7/4, 11/4 and 4/4". Bluewave (talk) 10:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Still don't hear it. Can you point out where these changes occur, either in notation or just via lyric syllables? I think the album sleeve might have gotten it wrong, in which case the encyclopedia article should not follow it. Thanks. --Coolazice (talk) 11:24, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
