No.
4 notes per beat.
5/4 means that you have 5 quaternotes (clicks) per measure.
the pattern consists of 6 notes:
e----------------------
b-----------14--------
g--14-16-17----17-16-
thats the basic pattern with an emphasisis on the "14" on the b string.
the beat is as follows:
1 2 3 4 5
e-----------------------------------------------------14-------||
b-----------14----------------14----------------14-------------||
g--14-16-17----17-16-14-16-17----17-16-14-16-17----17----17-16-||
d--------------------------------------------------------------||
a--------------------------------------------------------------||
E--------------------------------------------------------------||
thats it.
