Time Signature Help

Unread post by dmbvideos » Mon Feb 21, 2005 2:11 pm

Hey y'all,

I need help figuring out if I'm learning 6/8 correctly.
Is the following recording 6/8, or just a slow 4/4?

I suck at time sigs.

thats sounds right to me. your playing a very common strum pattern that follows 3/4 or 6/8 timing. its like this:

Code: Select all

1 & 2 & 3 &
D   D U D U

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 &
D   D U D U D   D U D U
