What Is A Time Signature? [EXPLAINED]

Ok I’ll admit it, it took me a while to fully grasp the concept of Time Signatures. So, to save you continuing making confused facial expressions like I used to, here’s the basics of what they’re all about, and why googling it may not be a good idea 🤣

Finally someone combines the arbitrary, antiquated system with the systematic, mathematical, logical one

As a violist that is currently trying to arrange a song by ear, this helped a bunch. I somehow only truly understand now despite playing for 6 years now😂

My favorite lesson from this video: practicing time signatures can be exciting!

[littlepocketstudios]

Six minutes in. And I finally... finally understand something outside of X/4 time! THANK YOU!!!!

[bigarte]

[Spacedog]

Thank you crafty! Now that bottom number can stop bothering me!

[bhumiiii]

i love how you explain it wirhout making me feel dumb....usually I'm expected to know without someone explaining anything to me but i love this thanks a ton

[chaschampion]

I play drums by ear... that is, I listen and try to follow along... can't hardly keep a beat though. I definitely don't understand time signatures 😁 Thanks always for the great info Crafty

[philipsheard]

Thank you for making this enjoyable, clear and concise.

Your content is insightful and entertaining. Keep up the good work bud.

[tracybowser]

I love you. I sick at timing and after a year of searching. I found you man. Thanks you so much

[davewhyte]

Thanks very much Crafty, this was extremely helpful in clearing up questions that some erudite folk have been unable to resolve for me. I've predominantly moved to Banjo; however, this is extremely relevant to both my types of instruments. PS: have followed your advice from the Veteran's course and purchased an electric guitar to complement my acoustic. Now for the rest of the stuff to enable me to use the Stratrocaster.... :)

[JKFlaker]

Hey thanks. Came here after seeing your Man I Feel Like A Woman with Sing It Live. Love your enthusiasm. 👍🏼. That helped. I especially enjoyed trying to figure out where the interspersed video clips came from 😂

[sercansari]

awesome video, very clear and funny, thanks man!

[tanaydwivedimusic]

Really like your teaching style (*simpson smile) GREAT WORK

[brytonbeats]

Mahn i use software to make melodies and am really enjoying how you teach it

[Taylor-kdlr]

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for this. This is the best video I’ve seen on YT about time signatures. I was confused before, but after seeing this, I am finally beginning to get a grasp on time signatures. Excellent presentation.🔥🔥🔥

I've always wanted to write a song with 5 beats in a bar because it sounds so different and awkward lol
