Do u always count timing out?

i don't count conciously either. i feel if you think too much, that's where you'll make mistakes. you need to feel the song. sometimes that even means changing up the timing of a song in the middle of it for effect. i.e. at a tender part you can slow it down. i don't know a thing about time signature in terms of literal structure. all i know is what ive learned on my own from experience. but you can play around during a song with signature (try to rehearse it though if you're gonna do it in a show because if it doesn't work then it could get ugly). this is easier to do when it's a solo guitar effort rather than a whole band though.

I don't count timing out either, I usually just tap my foot to the beat

it really depends on if your read music or not. if i have a piece of music in front of me, i count it as i'm trying to learn it, but once i get the feeling i just play from memory

counting can get a bit more tricky then going to four

Im so damn close to e-slapping you right now.

if anything, I thought you would have said 12/8

Ive been thinking about making a Comprehensive list of all Daves songs and their time signatures. Unfortunatley, they would just appear as useless fractions to most people

unfortunatley bk speaks the truth. i can't believe how many guitarists don't take the time to learn how to read or learn time signatures and notation. people who play fretted instruments are a lazy bunch these days.

i think that all 'musicians' should be able to read in bass and treble clef, and know time signatures, subdivision of the beat, so on and so forth. how to write, the correct way to notate, etc.

I think it has a lot to do with this being a tab site too.

I dont use them anymore. I got what I need and I've moved on to writing my own stuff. I use this place as cheap entertainment and a DMB site.
