How are your counting skills? This fun animation teaches counting in the two most common time signatures. For more help with counting, check out my book, "How to Read Musical Rhythm Like a Genius" at Patternpiano.com

I am in the same situation as the guy below, I am learning guitar and currently began to learn how to read music, man its amazing... like learning the language of our consciousness.

Thank you for your videos, they sure help, even though you are far away your teachings reach the other side of the world.Ha. Funny isnt it.

With the internet, we are all connected. :)

This video was very fortuitous, for me. I'm currently trying to learn to play guitar and was having trouble envisioning the different timing notations. This helps out a lot! Thanks!

[sesameseed77]

Glad to be of help. :)

Wow this is perfect. Thank you for this.

@snowsamurai00 i think that's a great idea

[outoworkdreamer]

@wildwestpoint the bottom number tells you what kind of note gets one beat - don't ask me to explain that though: )

[wildwestpoint]

so, the upper numbers 3 and 4 in 3/4 and 4/4 means the number of beats but what does the lower number 4 means?

[snowsamurai00]

Please, no one take this the wrong way. If this is super confusing to you, you should totally take up drums before anything else. It will help so much. When I look at sheet music I think where everything would go if it was placed on drum tabs.

it also helps me understand the beating of the note...

thanks random guy punching a garbage bag!

@sesameseed77 I never read music, but this seems to make sense, and the riffs i have produced, even in high school follow this pattern. Is it kind of natural?
