Re: I really don’t understand time signature

Re: I really don’t understand time signature I never said that performers or pros have a frustration with theory, but they do not exploit it to its full potential, too often. And one thing is to know theory inside out and get a+ on every exam, which is never a bad thing, but the debate

Re: I really don’t understand time signature

Re: I really don’t understand time signature I disagree. At least, I did very well in all my music theory classes. I even tested out of the first year, although I did take the second semester because I enjoied it so much.Still, Theory does have its downside. Once you know the rules, it is

Re: I really don’t understand time signature

Re: I really don’t understand time signature Time signatures are basically fractions.4/4 is the easiest and most common time signature in western music. The first number represents how many beats per measure, and the second is what type of note is a beat.So, 4/4 has four beats per measure

Re: I really don’t understand time signature I think my study of metal, particularly the more progressive subgenres made it possible for me to understand it even if I never could explain it properly to anyone else.  That was a great post, @10. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/541500

Re: I really don’t understand time signature Basically, the top number tells you the rhythm, and the bottom tells you how to read it. Occasionally you get weird rhythms like 5:8, which apparently people can recognize as distinct from a fast 5:4 because it's in the middle of a 4:4 o

Re: I really don’t understand time signature Yeah, what Jayde said.  Tempo, not necessarily time sig, is the real key here.  Thanks for bringing up take 5, btw.  Gotta go listen to some jazz now...  Maybe I'll pull up some Green onions before I do that though and dork around on keys

Re: I really don’t understand time signature Most songs are either 4/4 or 3/4. If you want an idea of the difference, compare Twinkle Twinkle (4/4) to Silent Night (3/4). If you want to get a little weird, look up Take Five by Dave Brubek, which is in 5/4 time.Where it's importa

Re: I really don’t understand time signature

Re: I really don’t understand time signature Alright. Let's make this a little less technical. The top number, in the case of 4/4 is the number of notes in a bar. A bar isn't where you go to drink alcohol or something you might run into because you weren't using your can
