Yeah I can kinda see how it can be 3/4 as well or 12/16 as well. Good job.

@LaharlD2 It could be two fast groupings of 3/4...

The 8th note doesn't get the beat in 6/8. It's a compound time signature with two beats of a dotted quarter note each. The 8th note is the subdivision (ie the beat divides into 3, as it does in 9/8 and 12/8. For a piece to be clearly in 6/8 the first beat should be stronger than the second. In yours, the 1st and 4th that you count seem equally strong, which suggests what you're playing is in 3/4, not 6/8. I think what you've shown here is confusing because it's clearly not 6/8. Sorry dude.

@Composerhome you're right that this is a compound time signature but in the real world of pop/rock music this is felt as 6/8. Thanks for your comment.

The inverted eighth note on beat 3 has a flag on the wrong side. You played through the rest. Keep up the hard work.

@5pima,
I was just demonstrating 6/8 while playing the guitar, not what was written on the chart. The chart was just another example of what 6/8 can look like.
