The Classical Guitar Tutorial for beginners

Now Let's tie our new understand of notes and the time signature together.

Lets take a look at this measure. It is the beginning measure for a work. The time signature is 4/4.

Remember that the top number (4) tells us how many beats there are in this measure and the bottom number (4) tells us what note gets one beat. So, 4 beats to the measure and a quarter note gets a beat.

If you were to have quarter notes in this measure it would look like this:

Four quarter notes to the measure - four beats and each quarter note gets a beat. You might want to tap this out with your foot. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 and as you tap you should look on to the next note.

Now let's look at another signature time

Here is another signature:

The 3/4 signature

What does this signature show us? The bottom number tells us that a quarter note gets one beat and the top number shows us that there are three beats in the measure. If you were to put quarter notes in this measure there would be three of them. This is a common signature for waltzes.

Three beats in the measure and quarter notes make up each beat.
