Isn't Dreaming Tree in 7/8? I really don't know anything about time signatures, but I thought I read that somewhere.

I also think the Stone is in 6/4
The verse is in 5/4.
Verse is 4/4 I gurantee. The strumming is on the a of 1 and 3. I learned to play this song on the drums trust me

When I count with the music, my hits are on 1-3-5 2-4. It works perfectly, but I guess it doesn't make a difference.

YNK changes to 5/4 at one point I believe

and 6/8 amnd 3/4 aren't the same, they are similar but not the same hard to differentiate at times.

Let me know of the part so I can check it out.

And its just two measure for everyone in the 6/8, 3/4. Im just saying 3/4 instead of 6/8 because the guitar part fits 3/4 as two full measures. I personally prefer two bar phrases instead of one big one (not that is isnt really that big)

Yeah true. It is eaiser at times to count 3/4 then 6/8. i think it depends more on the genre

well, I was just doing it for the song. Like Kit Kat Jam. The bridge is just downbeats for a measure, rest for a measure. If I were writing that out on a staff, it would look kinda wierd if I had 6 eiths.

and my bad, i thought the prechourus of YNK was a few bars of 5/8 and ends on a bar of 3/4th. not 5/4th like i previously mentioned

ok i have a question...the reprise outro of the Last Stop, like on LIC...is that have a different time sig? cuz its got that main thing by leroi but it seems to me to repeat again a little later than you would expect in 4/4...or does it overlap the measures?

do time measures make sense to everyone else on these boards? i have no idea to tell different time measures and i just try to play along with the recording to get the time down. should i learn time measures of a song before i try to play the song?

I would love to know how to understand this better. The hardest part I have with most songs isnt the finger work, its always hearing and mimicing the rhythym.

The strumming pattern , given the note vaule, will determine what time signature it is in. For instance, where the pattern repeats its self will either be a phrase, or it will be a measure. Take #41, the verse (every part in the song actually) is made up of 4 chords that are played a measure at a time. However, it doesnt repeat until 4 bars, so that will be a phrase. The Stone intro, on the other hand only takes a measure to repeat.

The reprise is in 4/4. It is just a two measure phrase. The bass notes change on the 1 and 2 of the first measure. Rest on 3, and the next two bass ntoes hit on 4 and 1 of the next measure. Rest for 3 beats.

Probably, but I dont listen to his music enough to say that ALL songs are that way. Given his simplicity of his songs, and he is playing in a pop setting, he most likely is playing in 4/4.
