#3 NOTE BLUEX TABS HOW TO#

Eighth notes keep those beats, and add the word “and” in between (Represented with a “+” sign): 1+, 2+, 3+, 4+. Quarter notes are counted on the beat: 1, 2, 3, 4. Since the 16th Note separates a quarter note into 4 different sections, we have to add a couple syllables. To tell the difference between 8th notes and 16th notes, look at how they are beamed together.ġ6th notes are not always put together in groups of two or four, but we will discuss different groupings in the next post. This is because a single 8th note only has one flag instead of two. If you group four eighth notes together, you only get one beam. This makes sense because a 16th note on its own has two flags. If you look at the above picture, you can see that four 16th notes grouped together are connected by two beams. Usually, we see them put together in groups like this: In western music, It isn’t very common to see a single 16th note by itself.

How to Tell the Difference Between 8th Notes and 16th Notes If a quarter note takes up one beat, then you can split that quarter note into two 8th notes, or four 16th notes.

Introducing the sixteenth note! As you probably noticed, it looks similar to a quarter note or an eighth note with an extra flag on it.Ī 16th note is the value of one quarter note split into four. Don’t be afraid, it really isn’t that hard once you understand what everything looks like: Next, I will be moving onto one of the larger topics, the sixteenth note (16th note).
