All You Need to Know About Time Signatures | Guitar For Beginners

6/8 song examples for counting like a nerd:
"The year's love" by David Gray
"Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.
"Fade into you" by Mazzy Star
"Nothing else matters" by Metallica
"Manic depression" by Jimmy Hendrix
"A kiss from a rose" by Seal

Now count!

A great example of how videos are a panacea. You feel good after but I bet most wouldn't be able to repeat it a week later. I know.... 😂😂😂

I get the 6, but wheres the 8 from?

I honestly can’t tell the difference between a 3/4 and a 6/8 time 😳

Stupendous ❤

EVERYTHING I need to know about time signatures? Nope.

Very informative for a novice to understand.

I've been trying to record with my father-in-law. He uses pro tools. He always wants me to play to a click track. Would you change a click track to different time signatures. For example I feel like some of the stuff I'm writing is in 3/4 but his clicktrak sounds like a standard 4/4 metronome which throws me off some time. Do I need to change the way I'm hearing the click track or does he need to change the click track to a different timing if that's even possible?? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm not a professional musician.

I don't know you or what you've been through, but you matter. God loves you and so do I. Believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. Repent of your sins; repent simply means to turn away from your sins, don't keep doing the wrong things you did in the past. Be baptized; a symbol that the old sinful self is gone and a new creation is here in Christ Jesus. Follow the specific will of God for your life and you will be saved.

It’s kind of crazy how much of my favorite songs are in 6/8. I think I really like the back-and-forth pulses in the time signature. I’m also a big folk music fan, where it’s really common.

Love from India

The way you broke this down was flawless. Thank you!!

Very helpfull. Thank you tommy shelby

He my childhood teacher

I literally screamed when you mentioned This Year´s Love! LOL. It is practically unknown in my country but it is so meaningful to me: what a great example. I own a baby Taylor and I just bought a Squier Starcaster. Even though Im not totally a beginner, I am watching all your lessons from the very first one. Thank you so much for all the great value you bring, Justin! Stay safe :)

"Hear You Me" by Jimmy Eat World is 6:8

You know its gonna be an informative video when the frontman is old and english

Norwegian Wood is in 6/8 isn't it?

6/8 by blink-182 is in 6/8 time

Awesome lesson and thank you for sharing your video 👍👍💚

Rescue by Lauren Daigle is 6:8 as well. I'm currently learning that one :), pretty simple too.

Why is there an "8" in 6:8? Anyone?

Hey Justin, 6/8? if I count 6 beats where does the 8 come into it? Great lessons, easy to follow, should have learnt this stuff years ago, I know you have the answer.

Holiday by Weezer is another song in 6/8 :)

When he played at 3.00 mannnnnnnnn Take me back to the night we met

cant you make 4:4 sound like 6:8 ?how does that work?

Great video! I believe Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" is also in the 6/8 time signature! Totally explains that ballad like feeling.

Hey Justin , got the app, paid for the year and been trying to use the site but it seems it is down. any insight or help you could offer?

Very helpful! Cheers from 🇦🇺 Downunder

Are you crazy

Another great melody that's in 6/8 is the new song called Stuck With U, sang by J. Beiber and A. Grande

Fade Into You by Mazzy Star is SUCH a tune. Before watching this video I would've never paid attention to its BPM and 6/8 time. Thank you for the video, I've been following since the start.

metallica ;)

I’m finding this hard to see the disconnection between 123.123 the waltz timing and 6/8 timing 123.456 seems to I have just changed the numbers,like just replaced the last 3 numbers .....123,123 .....123,456. 😀
🤨

Fade into you was the first one that came to my mind for 6/8. I must be getting better at recognising time sigs

I've always been confused by time signatures - what does the 8 mean?

Can you make a video on choking chords

Fade in to you - Mazzy Star ... awesome song, nice to hear it mentioned all these years later!

Hi justin does youre gretsch untune wit that tildet headstock??

Great lesson and so well explained!

Thanks for your efforts
