This lesson will build off of the rhythmic notation you know already, but apply it to waltz (3/4) time so that you can understand rhythmic division within a waltz and keep time on the guitar.

Congratulations, !
Challenge complete
Come back tomorrow for your next challenge
Good to know
The notation is swimming into clarity. Hoping that the down-up strumming can be helped when reading the notation to help keep me on track. Brilliant!
My piano lessons as a kid are coming back to me
This is very interesting, without any of this, music have no sense to me …..
looking towards the next lession
Learning these thaks
The key to this like all thing’s guitar is application. Playing it many times to get it in your head and under your fingers or pick Otherwise, like me, you will look at it and not immediately recognize it. Take your time and slowly learn it well. Building your speed up gradually.
Good reminder
I was wrong. I did find the print out on 4/4 time and 3/4 time
Got it thanks.
Thank you for this great reminder.
This brings back visions of my Junior High Days in Band
Good to finally start to understand this.
1/2 note with dot I hope means 1 strum for 3 measures since dot adds 1 measure.
✅ Very helpful explanation
good lesson, I enjoy being able to review the basics.
Thank you for this lesson
I’m not seeing the tablature in this lesso or the 4/4 lesson
look for the material tb just above the lesson video
Thanks that note PaPaw, now everything makes sense.
This clarified something for me with the notiation of the dotted half note being a note held for the full 3 beats. In my head, I figured that we wouldn’t talk about quarter notes in 3/4 time, but rather talk about 1/3 notes. And, instead of 1/8th notes we’d have 1/6 notes! It seems odd to have 6 1/8th notes in the bar, but I’m starting to understand the descriptions more in terms of beats rather that fractions of the measure.
Thanks Tony that was really clear 4 beats 1, 2, 4 and 8.
i did not understand Tony’s explanations on this subject.
Andrew timing concepts can be difficult to understand. Work on it but stop prior to getting frustrated. Then go back to it and see what happens. Also think about it sometimes your subconscious will figure it out. Talk to others about it, sometimes it’s a semantic thing. But eventually somehow the ah ha will occur. Best of luck
Nice to have a clearly explained refresher.
i have a lot of experience with this from playing orchestra but not in conjunction with guitar so it’s good to review
Nice to review the timing with strumming. It settles more in my brain when I review…
I can relate to this 3/4 time in relation to a waltz so it is helping me alot. I really enjoyed this lesson.
Where is the tabulature?
That’s what I want to know.
I didn’t understand Tony’s explantation with the dotted hafl note. In the video he strums one time for the entire measure; that would’ve made me thought it shoud be a whole note. Can anyone explain to me why in comparison to the 4/4 a half note is only one strum? And what does a whole note in 3/4 then look like?
A whole note would have 4 counts. A half note has 2 counts. A dotted half notes gets 3 counts.
@andreas-blank-1gmx-de
In lesson 1:the 1st measure has whole notes or 4 counts (or one strum) for the measure.
In lesson 2: first measure: the time signature is 3/4 meaning there are 3 beats to the measure.
Since the notes are “dotted half notes”, the half notes would get 2 counts and the dot adds one more count. I hope that makes sense. If I’m wrong, someone please correct me.
Understood ,,, practice and reading music
