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
