    Can someone could help me to transcribe this beautiful tune by John Abercrombie?

    I can't understand well the meter...

    It's in 4/4.

  4. #3
    and the intro?

    The intro is in the same 4/4 tempo as the rest of the tune, it’s just not that obvious at first because of the way they are all placing the accents.

    For example it sounds to me as if Abercrombie is placing the main notes of his opening lines on the ‘and’ of the 2nd and 4th beats in each bar. So he anticipates the next beat, and it disguises the underlying tempo.

    I make the tempo about 180 bpm.
