Yeah, true, I was trying to keep it simple for the people who don't know what compound time means. For people reading who don't know so much about music theory, compound time is an n/8 time signature, which signifies that the beats are divided into quavers (which usually are in subgroups in threes), whereas simple time is an n/4 (or n/2, but that's less common) time signature, which signifies the beats are divided into crotchets.

And I dunno about my favourite key and tempo, it changes every day :P. I guess I love minor chords, but susses get me hard. And I wouldn't mind a little augmented action as well. 5/8 played after/before 4/4 is probably my fav time sig change.

What is it with minor chords? The guitarist in my band is obsessed with them, to the point where he almost refuses to play a major chord at the beginning of a chord sequence. 5/8 is a good one, and is underused in most simpler music styles. It doesn't have that unnatural feel that some signatures like 7/8 and 11/8 have, where they come across as forced.

The best example of a neapolitan chord is in Beethoven's "Fur Elise."

Where? I really didn't notice that before... wasn't really looking, admittedly. Wait, its the main theme, isn't it... trying to play the piece back in my head now...
