Members BlueTimber Posted March 6, 2007 Members Posted March 6, 2007 Preferably a combination of both, as just reading it, doesn't work out so good with me, I need to see and hear it, as if I had a teacher in front of me, which I haven't the time for.
Members BlueTimber Posted March 6, 2007 Author Members Posted March 6, 2007 Beginner, and music theory in general I guess? You live close to me.
Members red|dragon Posted March 6, 2007 Members Posted March 6, 2007 -Check out Vinnie Moore's 2 instructional videos. -Check out Guthrie Govan's 1st Instructional Book/CD A lot of theory you can just learn right here in the lesson loft. Just ask. Where do you live? Lets have a party.

Members KCTigerChief Posted March 6, 2007 Members Posted March 6, 2007 the first number in a time signature is how many beats are in that measure...the second number is what subdivision the beats are in... 6/8 - 6 beats, and the 8th note gets the beat... 4/4 - 4 beats in a measure, the quarter note gets the beat 15/16 - 15 beats, the 16th note gets the beat get it
Members bigbrother Posted March 6, 2007 Members Posted March 6, 2007 I always recommend the Hal Leonard music book to the beginner customers at my work, but they have a bunch of different levels. They also have a complete edition which is pretty nice - it teaches you how to sight read too instead of just assuming that you know.
Members Loofah Posted March 6, 2007 Members Posted March 6, 2007 I have read a couple of books on theory. The one I found to be the best was this one:http://www.edly.com/mtfpp.html I came to it after some others, but I like its style and layout.

Is it referring to the duration of th note?
Members KCTigerChief Posted March 6, 2007 Members Posted March 6, 2007 yes, its referring to which note gets the beat...4/4 is quarter note gets the beat, 5/4 quarter note gets the beat, 6/8 8th note gets the beat...etc...
Members arkistan Posted March 6, 2007 Members Posted March 6, 2007 musictheory.net A good place to get some friendly basic theory lessons.
Members danger_boy_13 Posted March 7, 2007 Members Posted March 7, 2007 yes, its referring to which note gets the beat...4/4 is quarter note gets the beat, 5/4 quarter note gets the beat, 6/8 8th note gets the beat...etc... When he says "gets the beat", it means it is one beat. In 4/4 time, the quarter note gets 1 beat. This means an 8th note is half a beat and a half note is 2 beats. In 6/8 time, the 8th not is 1 beat, the quarter note is 2 beats, the 16th note is half a beat. Get it?
