figuring out time
can someone tell me how to figure out the time signature of a song?How do you know whether a song your listening to is in 4/4, 2/4, 3/4, 6/8 or whatever time signature?

A time signature has to do with the pattern of weak and strong beats in a song.
Like. ONE two Three four ONE two Three four. That's 4/4 time. There's 4 quarter notes in each measure. The strong beat is on the One, and a medium beat on the Three. 3/4 has 3 quarter notes, so it sounds like ONE two three ONE two three. Most classic rock and modern rock songs are written in 4/4. On the drums , the strong beat is usually noted by a snare hit, while the basic pulse is kept on the Hi Hat. (Snare tap tap tap Snare tap tap tap).
Hope this helps.
