Time Level 4
Time signature 3:4
When 3 beats is enough
3:4 is a time signature that means you play only 3 beats each bar. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. It is mesmorising and really changes the feel to a song. Go to lesson.
Patterns

Off Beat
Out of time
Off beat is simply playing a note before or after the beat rather than on it – sounds easy right. Being out of time is harder than it sounds. Go to lesson.
Kick and snare
Stealing the bass players job
