Thanks for checking out my video on time signatures in music! Don't hesitate to ask me any questions in the comments and let me know what you think of my tutorial!
Where is your video on the pulse of music? I’m so confused about 2/2 being faster than 4/4 because I would think music where half notes get one beat would be slower. I heard some music earlier tonight I thought would be 4/2 because it was slow (what sounded like two beats for one beat to me) and four beats in a bar. Thank you! If you can point me in the direction of your pulse of music video I will watch it.
Please I would like you to do a video showing the difference of the time signatures let me know how it sounds like.. Even though am just seeing this video for the first time after 2years that you've posted it 😂
So what would be an orchestra conductor equivalent shredding on a musical instrument? In other words, what would be the most complicated conducting and what would look like?
those are the type of notes for example in 4/4 it's just 4 quarter notes or any combination of notes which their values add up to 4 quarter notes 6/8 is 6 eight notes eighth notes are just half a quarter note and they keep getting divided by 2
Good informative video mate! Would like to see a video in which one can indetify those time signatures in a song. Give examples of odd time songs, and count them out to identity the time signature.
Just subscribed to your channel. You can recognize the mark of a really good teacher! One who can explain something that sounds difficult and make it easy..Thank you! 👏😍
Omg thank you so much... i just started with piano again after 10 years break to give it another try and i didn't understand what the bottom number means... thats why i stopped it 10 years ago. i got so confused. You just needed some seconds to explain it. No other video helped me so much ❤
It would be good to hear the sound of the different time signatures to really begin to understand. Can you play a 4/36 slowly in theory or is the beat always faster with shorter notes in the bar? Ok if I seem dense, not proud!
Great question! Technically you could play 4/36, or any /36 time sig slowly though I the implication is that its fast as its counted in semiquavers so smaller subdivisions. Not dense at all - its interesting!
Thanks for your video. I remember some things from beginning band but you helped me understand. I have been practicing the bass guitar and the mandolin. Lately been watching drumming videos and trying to understand the timing used in drums.
I'm learning music in french but watch lessons in english as well and thank you for including images of what 8th notes quarter notes etc are because in french we just call them by color so it was so confusing to me
Very well introductory video on time signatures. Just watched a stupid video of a drummer explaining the time signatures and i kid you not his demo of the common time signatures was quite comprehensive- sounded more like different beats smooshed together!
It was just a thought on my wit that time signatures are to some extend related to time signature.Thankd for your response.Your good work has made me like your videos, If you can do a video on all types of Tempo and detail their explanation as you've done with this video,it will be helpful sir
Thank you for a great explanation! :) But I still have a question: if we have 4|4, then 4*1/4 = 1 whole note. Does this mean that each bar's 100% is the whole 1 note in duration? And then, in 4|2 we have 4 half notes, but it is more that 1 whole in total for a bar, basically 4*1/2 = 2 whole note durations in a single bar On 5|4 etc How do you "fit" more notes/durations in a bar with these signatures? Where first number is bigger than second :) Thank you in advance for an answer!
Minums, crochets, quavers, semi-quavers .. I have never heard these designations before! Learn something everyday .. I guess from the folks that gave us yards, feet, inches, pounds, tons! I wonder are there metric music time notations?
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 /////////////
I have been writing music on guitar for a long time and never really gave time signature a thought. Now that I am writing things out, I realized I don't have a clue.
I kinda get it but I feel like the best way to fully understand is to put it in practice or messing with a metronome's time signature and playing along

Yes, I think demonstrating the beats on the piano would have made the explanations much more helpful, though the explanations were great.@@George_D777
Please I would like you to do a video showing the difference of the time signatures let me know how it sounds like..
Even though am just seeing this video for the first time after 2years that you've posted it 😂
So what would be an orchestra conductor equivalent shredding on a musical instrument? In other words, what would be the most complicated conducting and what would look like?
this is a good explanation, would be great to hear an example beat with each time signature to see (hear) the difference
Wild that a video about music wouldn't use music.
I don't still get the bottom ones but I still appreciate this video
those are the type of notes
for example in 4/4 it's just 4 quarter notes or any combination of notes which their values add up to 4 quarter notes
6/8 is 6 eight notes
eighth notes are just half a quarter note
and they keep getting divided by 2
Thanks. I dont understand.
Can U shut up
Wow
Yeh me neither. To understand him, I think we have to know the musical alphabet
Me either lmao
Lol 😂😂
Eloy Casagrande's english has improved a lot.
Dude... I literally thought the same thing... Irish Eloy 😂😂
Your amazing man THIS is how music should be taught in theory classes. Earned yourself a sub 😎
Awesome - thanks Gabriel!
Brilliantly explained, this has suddenly become clear. Thank you
Good informative video mate! Would like to see a video in which one can indetify those time signatures in a song. Give examples of odd time songs, and count them out to identity the time signature.
The best explanation that I have ever seen. No one would/could ever explain this to me. I am very grateful, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
@@bodhran first time it ever made sense
@@garyneildenney1637 Can you explain the bottom number pls
thank you so much for this video!! you were the only one who got me to understand what the bottom number means 😅🙏
Thank you so much for this! It makes so much more sense now!
I never understood this concept in my orchestra class until now. Thanks
The best explanation ever, before watching this viduo i was so confused about the down no., it was more clear when u gave couple of examples, thanku
Very glad it helped! Thanks for the kind words
Just subscribed to your channel. You can recognize the mark of a really good teacher! One who can explain something that sounds difficult and make it easy..Thank you!

Thank you sir, you really helped me alot with studying for exam
Glad to hear that! Hope it goes well!
Omg thank you so much... i just started with piano again after 10 years break to give it another try and i didn't understand what the bottom number means... thats why i stopped it 10 years ago. i got so confused. You just needed some seconds to explain it. No other video helped me so much ❤

So glad it helped!
You have the clearest explanation. Thank you Sir!
You are welcome Ronaldo!
More great content, thank you Ruairi! I'll need to look up some video examples of some of these to fully understand them, I think.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you found it a good starting point! R
Thank you so much! What an effective explanation!
Great video. Very informative and helpful. Thankyou. Would love to hear more of your music theory videos. You are the best I have heard.👍❤
Thanks for the kind words. More to come!
Thanks your lesson is clear!
This is a very clear explanation, I have been struggling with it, thank you 😀
I finally understood time signatures because of this video thank you so much,dude now I can ace my test
This is the best video ever! I have never felt this reassured
this was a brilliant video. Probably the best one for explanations. Thank you for making the video
Thank u so much im starting to slightly understand now and this will help me when i play the piano😊❤
Clear, concise and cogent ! Great video & thank you from New Zealand
Awesome - thanks Neville!
Very well explained - thank you
subscribed Sir! The simplicity of your explanation!!! How I wish to have you as my teacher!!
Thank you Daniele, and welcome! 🌟

This is the best video on this that I've seen
So glad to hear its been helpful - more on the way!
Great explanation. I might use this video to introduce time signatures to my high schoolers
I love this helped me so much with my music homework UR THE GOAT OF MUSIC MATE
(Btw goat means greatest of all time)
🐐🤣
Thanks for your video. I remember some things from beginning band but you helped me understand.
I have been practicing the bass guitar and the mandolin.
Lately been watching drumming videos and trying to understand the timing used in drums.
Awesome Todd!
I'm learning music in french but watch lessons in english as well and thank you for including images of what 8th notes quarter notes etc are because in french we just call them by color so it was so confusing to me
Thank you very much Sir, I'm teaching Music in Elementary and your video is of great help for me.
Glad to hear that!
@@bodhran watching from Philippines !
Very well explained! Thanks so much for another awesome video! :)
Thanks Jeni!
It was great
I actually understood it and had a perfect presentation 👌👍
Wow I have got a better understanding of time signature, now I need examples
thank you for enlighten me for what i am confused !
wow.this is perfect❤
I'm so glad you think so! Your support means a lot.
Very well introductory video on time signatures. Just watched a stupid video of a drummer explaining the time signatures and i kid you not his demo of the common time signatures was quite comprehensive- sounded more like different beats smooshed together!
Thank you Ruairi. This video was very informative :)
This is great - thank you for detailing this!
You're very welcome!
sir i dont understanding pleas say with music
im a grade 5 with a grade 6 book this video made me understand this more! thanks
Great quick lesson!
Wow, this was really helpful Ruairi, thank you so much. Struggling with the 5/8🤷🏼♂️😂
Very helpful!
Great explation, many thanks and congrats
An impressive lesson,❤kindly,explain how you can get to know the tempo of a song using time signature.
Tempo and time signature are different. Tempo is speed, time signature is number of beats.
It was just a thought on my wit that time signatures are to some extend related to time signature.Thankd for your response.Your good work has made me like your videos,
If you can do a video on all types of Tempo and detail their explanation as you've done with this video,it will be helpful sir
Hey can you make a video with the beats playing as well as we talk about them
Great explanation thanks!
Another great lesson. I am so impressed with how clearly you explain things. Thanks Ruairi.
You're very welcome Maureen, and thanks for the kind words!
Thank you for a great explanation! :)
But I still have a question: if we have 4|4, then 4*1/4 = 1 whole note. Does this mean that each bar's 100% is the whole 1 note in duration?

On 5|4 etc
How do you "fit" more notes/durations in a bar with these signatures? Where first number is bigger than second :)
Thank you in advance for an answer!
Was wondering the exact same thing…🧐
I guess he is wrong in this case.was thinking d same.
Thank you so much this is so simplified
clear as mud
What an amazing video! Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the easy to understand explanation!!!
Thank you so much sir🙏
Thanks now I understand 😊
Thank you so much finnaly understand !
Thank you so much sir, God bless you so much
Tks🎉🎉🎉🎉 I learned a lot my music teacher is scary and I can't understand anything he teach😢😢😢 but I understand now🎉🎉🎉🎉
Amazing..
Thanks
Amazing lesson !
Thank you very much my brother ! Can you explain key signature and how it is use in scale
9/10, would have been 10/10 with an example of each time signature.
Helpful tutorial. Thanks much.
Thanks for explaining 🙂 ☺️
Thank you 🎉🎉
I thank you again ❤️
Just wow !
Great! You should include waltz time, 3/4, which is common and can be difficult to understand.
Thank you❤
Thanks well explained sir. It would be nice if u help us understand by either tapping or using an instrument so it made better sense. Thanks ❤
Seven quavers, seven quasars... Oh! Thanks for giving the signature idea for my future song~! Seven Quasars!
Minums, crochets, quavers, semi-quavers .. I have never heard these designations before! Learn something everyday .. I guess from the folks that gave us yards, feet, inches, pounds, tons! I wonder are there metric music time notations?
Love from India❤..thank you for lesson
