djembe 301: 3.06 - Playing in 6/8 time

[MultiYadder]

Cool

[samwoj]

is 6/8 kindof the same as 3/4 except 8th notes?

[NicholasGreen91]

@samwoj Its a matter of pulse.

In musical terms its this: (S) means STRONG beat, (W) means weak beat. Listen for this when he plays: a | represents starting a new bar.

"Simple" vs "Compound" refers to how many ticks are between strong beats.

4/4 and 2/4 and 2/2 are Simple Duple. SwSw | SwSw | SwSw OR Sw | Sw | Sw

3/4 is Simple Triple. Sww | Sww | Sww | Sww

6/8 is Compound Duple SwwSww | SwwSww | SwwSww
