The Ultimate Time Signatures Masterclass
Today we're finally taking a comprehensive deepd-ive into the super nerdy world of time signatures! 4/4, 7/8, 13/16...what does it all mean?
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be a Prog musician to understand time signatures and implement them into your music; you've probably already done so without knowing it! Time signatures are one of the fundamental building blocks of Western music and I really can't stress enough how important it is you put some time into really grasping this topic. I promise it's not as complicated as you might assume!

i always struggle to hear them i couldn't guess even one
The counting animation kinda helped, but I think it would have been useful to go through a simpler guitar example where you show how to count this kind of patterns. I have a hard time focusing on the time with all the different fills and sounds of the drums :(
1. 7/4 2. 10/8 3. 11/8 (this one was hard, I just counted straight to 11 and heard a chord change lol). 4. 5/4
1. 7/4; 2. 10/8; 3 &4 ... no idea
