Hi,
I watched the video this morning about what to play in a music store. I printed out the TAB and was trying to sort out the count for the first few Bars. I keep coming up with just 11 beats in the 12/8 signature? I see five eighth notes, and three DOTTED quarter notes in each of the first couple bars.
What am I missing?
Thanks very much for the quick response. So it looks like the quarter notes with a dot above or below them only count for two, and the Quarter notes with the dot on the right side count for three? Is that correct?
Thanks
