When the original song that you're learning in a cover band has bad meter, how do you approach?
I like playing along to original recordings, but Pride and Joy for instance has some of the worst tempo of any professional song ever.
I refuse to play along to it and instead set the metronome for the average tempo of the tune.
Anyone else have similar approaches or songs that they know have highly varying time?
Ever deliver a drum track to a cover song created from a click track and give it your bandmates and ask them to practice to that instead of the original?
