Hero Nickelback
HERO (CHAD KROEGER feat JOSEY SCOTT)
First, some theory! Its a little though for me to explain it in english but if you
dont understand, you can ask to forum! About this song, though it sounds (especially
the beats of the drum) like this song has a 4/4 rhythm, actually it is 6/4! but since
he drums beat at every 1,5 beats (6/1.5=4 beats in a measure) it sounds like 4/4!
All the durations among a measure is proportional! And except the solo and arpeggio
part, a - or a number in measures has the length of a half-note (so as 1 measure can
contain 8 half-notes, there are 12 -s in a measure)! In solo and arpeggio part, they
have the length of a quarter-note (so there are 24 - signs in a measure); and since
those measures are long, i put a + sign for each beat (of the drum) to be read more easily!
