I was told to post this question here.
I was listening to some songs today, just a bunch of random indie/alternative/rock and a lot of the time the lyric/lead melody starts on the 2nd beat of a bar, I was just wondering why??
In rock usually isn't beat 1 and 3 the most important/most stressed?? why would you skip beat 1 ??
Is there a basic template or anything of where the lyric/melody starts??
I hear alot of songs that seem like they start on the second beat and tie into the third beat.
and then usually take the fourth beat and tie into the 1st beat of the next measure. Is that a popular way of doing it?? Is there some common ways to do it??
I am just starting out and trying to figure everything out. I like to know the rules and common ways so I can tweak them, break them, and make them my own.
Thanks again I apprecaite it.
