Great technique - and interesting. Thanks for that.

I just googled on the difference between 7/4 and 7/8 meters - wish I hadn't!

Would you be able to describe why you called it 7/8 rather than 7/4?

The only song I know of in 7/4 (partly) is All You Need Is Love by the Beatles.

Thank you Owen!

I don't have any official information for your question. But songs that I usually play are in eight-note signature. In my opinion it's because this
e beats that we are counting on these fast songs doesn't settle even four-notes.

For example:
In 7/8 you have eight eight-notes. Song like that in OP you don't count 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. It's simple too fast and more importantly you don't hear and feel the beat like 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. You feel/hear the beat like 1-2-3. But the 3 is little bit longer than 1 and 2. That comes from divisions of eights like this 1-2 3-4 5-6-7.
1-2 is fist beat, 3-4 is second beat and 5-6-7 is third and longer beat.

This is why we can't call this 3/4 because the third beat is longer. We have to call it 7/8.

IMO if there is 4 in time signature that tells me that there is four-note feel in the beat. If 7/8 would be shown as a 7/4 it would tell me that I would feel/hear the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 and also count it like that.

This is kind of question that I have no absolute answer but i hope this gave you something more. Hopefully didn't mess your mind even more.

Kindest, Mikko
