- Ok I’ll admit it, it took me a while to be able to identify Time Signatures by ear. So, to save you continuing to make confused facial expressions like I used to, here's my simple 3 Step Method to help you figure it out when listening to music yourself👂

I’m 45 years old and I’ve been playing music for 30 years. This is the best explanation/lesson I’ve ever heard on how to identify time signatures
This was absolutely fantastic and so incredibly helpful for my ADHD brain to comprehend and stay engaged. Loved the clear demonstrations, clear explanations, the way you tested our learnings and the fun editing. Thank you so so much 🙏🏽
The PSC method is a great way to think about it. Don’t forget tho that the denominator (lower number /4 or /8 etc) in the time signature doesn’t mean anything if you’re not writing it down. It’s only spelling! If it’s just aural then just saying “it’s in 4” is all you need.
Well said, should’ve mentioned that… oops!
ITS REALLY CLEARRRR, IVE READ SO MANY POSTS ON HOW TO FIND THE TIME SIGNATURE AND your video is the the easiest and clearest explanation for me to understand and I can try right after learning too ❤ thanks a lottt, I really appreciate your efforts
You, sir, are a VERY good teacher. Thank you for sharing this 💕
dude, im rooting for u, you've got great style & theme. thank you for the great explanation, it helped!
I actually got all of them! After years of being able to figure out time signatures! Thank you!!!
Keep doing what ya doing. I am 53. And you have the magic of a good teacher. Besides being that amazing guitar player in a great band.
Found this channel today
Looking for music theory
Totally got what you were teaching
Plus I actually laughed out loud at your comments
Really enjoyed the videos
Thx man
Thanks for taking the time and effort. Really helped! 🙏
you are underrated af bro thank you so much
outstanding content man, keep it up and you'll be big!
Bravo this class is awesome!
No Detention today for me❤
Thank you so much for this video man, it’s so simple and easy to understand with the way you explained it, I’m in my last year of school here in England and this video really helped as I need to understand this for some of my questions on my GCSE papers, and this method is so easy to understand so thanks a lot man!
100%! thank you, this was a great lesson
It's soooooo easy to follow. Thanks a million, my friend
Ayyyy loved this
thank you so much this channel is very helpful
I enjoyed it. You are the best!!
very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you very much x
Your mic settings sound really good through my new headphones. Cheers!
Beauty. Cheers mate
wow this helped TONS thank you, I just stumbled across your page. subscribed!(:
Great. Id thanks for the tips man
Thank you!
A video that finally helped me to understand better, had to dig a lot for this but finally. Thank you!
Glad it helped! 😎
Oh my god I finally get it, thank you so much, the examples were a brilliant teaching device too. Please keep it up!
Thank you sir
It's not the easiest topic for me, but I start digging it now, thanks
GREAT!!!
helped me for my test
great video thanks
Great lesson, you are a really good teacher.
The only question from my side is:
I feel like the example you provided at 2.40 is 1/1 instead of 4/4, since the notes are whole notes, not quarters. If I am wrong, can you please help me how to identify it more clear?
Thank you!
This is great! I got a 100% I'm trying to get better at this. I have a lot of trouble figuring out Radiohead, RUSH and TOOL time signatures. Goals....
Well radioheads time signatures are all over the place 😂
Both bands all over the place... apparently Rush "Circumstances has 70 time changes. mostly these: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8
Losing It is in 11/8.
Kid Gloves is in 5/4 alternating with 4/4.
Both books of Cygnus are packed with odd meters: 6/4, 7/4, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, 11/8, 12/8
Superconductor is in a very danceable 7/4, alternating with 4/4.
Jacob's ladder is in a myriad of changing meters, namely: 5/4, 6/4, 6/8, 7/8. Probably the most str8 fwd of the 3 as most u can do with 4/4 it seems.
Tool, well good luck, Lateralus' different sigs are in spirals, snd often the clap,kick, snare, are all played at diff time sigs at the same time with Swiss triplets on snare it's nuts
Wowwww thank uuu thank u thank u
Good video❤
Bro funny and good lesson
👍👍
nice
The first verse of the "Great Deceiver" by King Crimson... there is a DRUM. ...but freaking Bruford.. .. in short, i never got that one part...
Do you even play an instrument if you didn't immediately start counting when the first single note was played?
I have the biggest 😊 right now cause I got the second one right!
This is where I get completely lost on reading music. If I made a guess (in my own head), 3/4 would be 1/3. I still sorta don't get it.. but thanks for trying.
Great!! Now make a video about how orchestra members keep track of rests and when they play
What do you mean it’s literally marked on the sheet music or the conductor queues your section
@@mattsmith2702 I know it’s marked on the sheet music but some tests are long as hell. For example the timpani. The conductor doesn’t queue every single section.
If you can count, you should be fine
@@20centanimator78 There’s always got to be a fucking smart ass
I listened to it 4 x6 times and finally heard the 4/4.
💀💀
4/4 was the hardest for me too, had absolutely no clue on the first listen
trying to figure out the timing on the intro riff to Apocalypse kid by johnny cage is a fake lol insane
Now why can’t everyone explain it this way? Gosh, this actually makes sense!!!!!
Its kind of easy when u listen to a solo guitar but i becomes harder when the main instruments are like a bunch of synthetic instrument
Finding the pulse would help using your example if you were in time…
Guilty, yes being able to count perfectly in time in that example with no count-in indicator of tempo was tricky
Sir, this was an amazing video. But I found myself just counting the strong which seemed easier to me than trying to count the notes in between. Is it incorrect to do??
Thank you, Gerry
If you’re getting the correct answer then any variation is fine. If not, then revert to this method
In your first example with the whole notes what’s stopping someone from counting any arbitrary amount between played notes? Couldn’t one just as easily count to 3 between each note you play?
Yes good call, as I mentioned: time signatures are relative. In that particular example (because no other instruments are indicating any fractions in time), any number of counts/beats will work, as long as the whole note is divided evenly between each division. Hope that makes sense.
Example 4 was thatt a Metallica intro ? Or am i hearing wrong ?
Yeah, Nothing Else Matters, it's not the intro but it's the same riff as the intro anyways
OMG LUV THIS personally I hate music theory but this is Acc making my life easier especially since I have a theory exam in 4days
Individual songs dont feel like they all seperate and without obsessed attachment . 2020 during covid
thank you , it help me so much, but i still don't know How can I differentiate 2/4 and 4/4?
Yes good point, it's more common to have a 4/4 time signature, I personally prefer to think of songs in 4, and if necessary, group 2 bars of 2/4 together so they equal 1 bar of 4/4. The only time you'll likely encounter a song in 2/4 would be with sheet music, or if the style is either a country or samba rhythm, for some people those scenarios are rare/non-existent. Hope that helps!
@@CraftyMusicTips thank you very much
In my opinion he played a 2/2 cut time piece
Before i watch this, i hear people be like oh this is in 3/4 but when i try i can count to 8 as quick or not as i need to so i always get confused anyway lets see if my brain can understand this
Edit: watched this video once AND I GET IT NOW! Maybe after years ill finally progress at the guitar, maybe i learn theory too
I think before I was missing the strong beat when listening so I was just endlessly counting to 8
Are 3/4 &’ 6/4 relative or am I misunderstanding somewhere ?
Good question. Kinda… 2 x 3/4 bars is relative to 1 bar of 6/4. 1 x 3/4 bar is relative to 1 x bar of 6/8, but 3 crotchets (quarter note counts) has a different “feel” to 6 quavers (eighth note counts).
Hope that helps!
who else got spoiled by the captions on the 3/4 one
I've been learning music since I was six and I still can't identify time signatures because of those stupid denominators 😭

Lol this video looks so old but it was only uploaded 11 months ago
Whoa!! Got number 3. Will someone marry me??
@4:55
Oooh boy. So, uh. I frequently run CZcams videos at 1.25 speed, when the sound is entirely speech...
I frequently run CZcams videos at .75 speed, sans volume, when it's a crochet design video by someone not speaking English.
I fk with the god damned speed settings a fair amount.
My brain absolutely didn't think about doing that if it's a video with music on it. If it's music in a weird time, and there's too much going on for me to figure it out, well, I rewind it over and over, and I get more and more frustrated at my level of suckage as I fail again.
I usually give up and spend the evening contemplating the point of my existence.
I can not believe that changing the play speed didn't occur to me, at all. JFC.
The level of shame I feel. Because today I learned not only can I not listen to interesting music and count successfully, but I've also been an added level of unforgivably, embarrassingly dense...
Well, it's that time of day where I philosophize on the notion that there may not be a bottom limit to the level of moronic a functioning human can reach...
I run YT speech and most movies at 1.75x (straight viz @ 2x), but 2x garbles some quick words by skipping frames.
Research has shown humans can comprehend *speech at
Anyone else click their teeth to count beats 💀
Yeah😂
Instead of playing video games, younger generation needs to realize that knowledge is on the internet nowadays 🤘🤘🤘
Beauty. Cheers mate
