but i am still confused aboutCounting in 6/8 would make it easier to count out and chart the drum fills. The ones that come in at 2:42 min. etc.
But it can be counted any way you like.
.
I count this as 12/8.
1-trip-let/2-trip-let/ 3-trip-let/ 4-trip-let. The same as slow blues.
The numbers are the quarter notes. Counting in 3/4, 6/8, 12/8 and 4/4 all work out mathematically. The song is triplet based, so I wouldn't use 4/4 to count it, because 4/4 is duple based meter, even though it could work.
6/8 is two beats.so what is the different between 6/8 in this case
6/8 is two beats.
Four beats- Triplet feel- is 12/8.
Yes you can count it like that but it's not 4/4 anymore. The fact that you're counting triplets turns it into 12/8. You could just count quarter notes in 4/4...1,2,3,4..but there is still the triplet feel underpinning it all. I'd count the triplets in my head.can't i count the 4/4 as One-Trip-Let, Two-Trip-Let, Three-Trip-Let, Four-Trip-Let, so it would work that way right?
No.6/8 is not 2/4 its 3/4 right?

Now, you're arguing Correctly....Congrats.but who says that counting triplets in 4/4 turns it into 12/8 ?.....i think it remains 4/4

don't over-complicate it any further.
you'll be fine.

6/8 is six beats. The ‘8’ refers to the eighth notes. Same for 9 and same for 12. It’s compound time in groupings of three notes.6/8 2 beats
9/8 3 beats
12/8 4 beats
bear in mind (later on) All three 6/8 9/8 12/8 can be chopped up yet remain in their respective meter ----to give a feel change; but that's down the road for a later lesson
Felt in 2. Was my POINT.6/8 is six beats.
