Wish You Were Here Riff For Beginners

Started to answer this in terms of dotted notes and 8th note strumming, then thought “better to make a video with metronome!”

Started to practice with metronome as a warm up for the video, and realized my timing on this section sucks way more than I thought it did - sheesh, more met practice needed!

This song…will I ever stop working on it? :man_shrugging:

I already wrote it here for you

these will help a little

If we were to put 16 note counting into Justin’s Time Trainer app what would the time signature be?

They say there is no such thing a stupid question. Apparently this question is quite close - as it makes no sense musically? Doah!!

Ok, I’m heading over to music theory to get to grips with this. I can’t read music but enjoy singing so can feel things but lack the language to understand and describe it. Think it’s time to change that.

It’s not a stupid question. 16th notes can be in different time signatures. For this particular song, if you look in the top left corner of the tab, it says 4/4 which means the time signature for this song is 4/4.

Thank you - that now makes sense. I was muddling apples and pears before!
