Even if you plan to only read tablature, or just playing by ear
for that matter, you will still need to have a basic understanding
of rhythms.
All of the exercises are demonstrated along with a metronome
click.
Quarter
Notes receive 1 beat
|
Half Notes
receive 2 beats
|
Dotted Half
Notes receive 3 beats
|
Whole Notes
receive 4 beats
|
A dot placed after a note will increase it's value by
half the original.
 |
A time signature consists of two numbers
placed at the beginning of a piece of music. |
The top number tells you how many beats are in each measure.
The bottom number will tell you which rhythm gets one beat. (The
4 stands for the quarter note getting one beat)
In the beginning the only numbers you will see in the top are
3 or 4. In the bottom you will only see a 4 at this point. (more
on time signature later)
