They sure are! I’m trying to cook up some riff wizardry but mostly getting burnt scones at the moment 
Glad I’m not alone! 
Thank you! 
Thanks Richard! Work in progress but enjoying the process 
Wow! Yeah didn’t realise all these options are valid approaches. I am aware of odd time signatures of course, plenty of the music I listen to certainly embraces that approach, however for some reason I thought there would be one solution per instance, i.e. I didn’t realise it could be up for so much individual interpretation. So am I right to assume the"correct" option for me to choose (from the options that fit) is the one that meets my requirements from a complexity (or lack thereof) perspective and how it best fits with the drum/rhythm I prefer?
Adding drums was an eye opener for me in that it did seem a lot more complex for a drum noob like me on how to come up with something that works when it isn’t 4/4. I assume that’s why so many would go that path as it’s far more straightforward to stick with that timing as opposed to something unusual which would require a higher level of technical capability to pull off? Plus I guess listeners find it more difficult to grab on to those odd timings making the song potentially less approachable as a result (despite being more interesting perhaps)?
Would it be good advice to work on creating riffs over drum tracks in the timing you probably going to use, i.e. not just messing around on the guitar in isolation then trying to adapt it later?
Thanks for the link, really interesting thread, in fact the thing that surprised me the most about it was this:
And I note you weren’t alone on that either?! I’m flabbergasted!
