Members Dropped_2_C Posted May 23, 2006 Members Posted May 23, 2006 yes me and my drummer are arguingbecasue he says his way of three four is correct and mine is wrong. so i got out the ol metronome and when it goes 1-2-3 click 1-2-3 click he argues with me and says when hittingthe123 click but he is counting the click andit tomesounds like 4/4 i play 3/4 3 notes per beat, i guess wht i am sayingif i am playing 16 notes*(which explain because my way of playing them and explaining to him is wrong the same as 32nd notes etc) i just want to be sure we are on the same page he tried to show me 3/4 in 200 bpm but again i told him he was playing like 4/4. he was counting the click or he was going 1-2-3- then we would do a grind where the click was. i want to play in three 4 perfectly. i also have a korg metronome( the little blue one) could you give me advice on practicing rifs and single notes similar to lamb of god and older stuff like slayer and testament. i know i lost a lot of you there but i just want to play in 3/4 and everyone be on the same page an also play 16th and 32nd notes.
Members Auggie Doggie Posted May 23, 2006 Members Posted May 23, 2006 3/4 time is just three beats per measure: One two three | One two three | etc 16th notes in 3/4: ONE ee & uh TWO ee & uh THREE ee & uh | etc

If you're unsure of how 3/4 time sounds/feels/etc., then you can't really expect to readily use that time signature in what you're writing. I don't even know who or what a 'Lamb of God' is, let alone anything in a similar style. But 3/4 time is 3/4 time; start with the Star Spangled Banner and We Wish You a Merry Christmas!
Members Dropped_2_C Posted May 23, 2006 Author Members Posted May 23, 2006 hey that makes lots of sense there. i got the idea now. the wish you a merry christmas is a very easy but very helpful example. i am not god at writing my thoughts if you know what i mean
Members p4vl Posted May 23, 2006 Members Posted May 23, 2006 Here's a dumb question: What determines the beginning and end of a measure? I finally understand that 3 quarter notes in a measure is 3/4 time, but how does one know where the measure starts and stops?

I finally understand that 3 quarter notes in a measure is 3/4 time, but how does one know where the measure starts and stops? A measure begins exactly on the first downbeat, and ends right at the first downbeat of the next measure. If you want to be technical, a measure ends at the tiniest moment in time BEFORE the first downbeat of the next measure, but we're dealing with a calculus-inspired limit as x approaches zero (with zero being the time of the first downbeat of the following bar). So, practically speaking, the bar ends right when the next one begins.
Members Unstrung Posted May 25, 2006 Members Posted May 25, 2006 Grab one of his hands and put your other one on his waist, and dance the waltz with him... all the while going "one two three one two three one two three..." So you guys would step on every one... Make sure it's really creepy to make it a memorable lesson. Whenever you mention 3/4 he'll remember this disturbing expierience and get in line. Or maybe you should ignore this post...
