15/8 Bass Riff

We’ve posted a lot about Millennial Falcon, but wanted to have a more focused video on the intro riff in particular. Though there are several ways to count the intro sections, this song was originally created from this bass riff that in 15/8.

One guitar counts the riff switching between 6/8 and 9/8. The second guitar alternates between 7/4 and 8/4. Combining it all creates a really neat poly-rhythmic meter where everyone meets back up every 4 bars of music.
