Because you're a dumbass dipshit who listens to music but doesn't produce music, thus a tool. Pick up an instrument or abandon the music niche
Brody Ward
That's not very kind of you user.
Thomas Evans
Pls no bully I'm trying to learn guitar
Nathaniel Baker
Get a metronome.
Daniel Mitchell
get a load of this bully
Logan Diaz
lmao there goes another musician who will most likely end up working in a Starbucks while still trying to make it big despite being in his 30s.
Loser.
Jordan Baker
they're bullshit, just make music
Wyatt Hill
I don't pay attention to the inconsequential commentary of projecting non-musicians, so keep it.
Evan Price
My trips > your shitty dubs.
Shut the fuck up, swallow it and get fucked, loser.
Jacob Evans
BPM/tempo --> how many counts per minute
time signature --> how many beats per measure
notes --> what to play and how many beats
dynamics --> how to play the note
need all four to convey a piece exactly to another person
Levi Jenkins
Again, you're projecting figments of your frail feminine personality onto me, a musician. You're projecting your homosexual traits and your self defeatist attitude. Seems like you were bullied by a superior musician in high school, as is the case now. History repeats itself. Poetry.
Mason Reed
literally just counting
Zachary Lee
Sex with furniture
Michael Brooks
lmao this fucking loser.
Blake Ortiz
top number - how many beats in a measure
bottom number - what length note gets 1 beat in that measure
Thomas Gray
Rent free.
Carter Ross
who gets the what now?
Ryder Turner
Top number is the number of beats per measure, bottom number is the type of note. Eg. 12/8 means 12 eighth notes per bar. 6/4 means 6 quarter notes per bar. 3/4 is a waltz, three quarter notes per bar.
Bentley Davis
If you want a good example of 4/4, pic related is entirely in that time signature.
Thomas Clark
lmfao
Ayden Long
terrible album tho
Ian Jackson
kek
Ryder Brooks
>13/8 time signature
I don't get how to count this
Connor Morales
Imagine if time could sign its name
That's a time signature
Luis Thompson
You just feel it man
Evan Reyes
When you feel the beat rumbling in your stomach, you probably need to take a shit
Evan Edwards
just feel it like 3+3+3+4
Gavin Harris
That sheet music couldn't spell it out more clearly
There's an obvious 3-3-3-4 pattern going on
Daniel Watson
There's 13 8th notes. Literally brain-dead retarded simple
Ethan Collins
It's just the beats per measure.
As for how to figure out what's a measure and what isn't purely by listening, you just kind of have to infer it. It's often quite obvious. When it isn't, people may disagree on the correct time signature for a song. Some musicians with no formal training will kind of use certain time signatures without realizing it, or use a very unconventional, asymmetric system (like a pattern of 3/4 followed by 12/4 followed by 11/4 that repeats twice, then another sequence with different signatures, then back to the original, or whatever).
For example, in the 1940s, the blind, homeless musician Moondog famously naturally formed his own time-keeping intuition which he called "snaketime". (He describes it as particularly constituting variations between 5/4 and 7/4, among other things.) An example: youtube.com
For "snaketimey" type music, don't fret too much about deciding on an exact time signature. Just try to interpret the feel of it and break it apart however you think is closest to the original song and intention.

there's 27 quarter-whole 17th notes per every 13 bars. when you hear the trumpet go 'BLAP' you hit the fire alarm and jump out of the nearest window wearing only a pair of hockey pads. Remember to put mustard on your bagel and you'll be fine.

>makes a monotonous 13-count beat because they dont understand stressed or unstressed beats
