6/8 time signature (there are six beats per measure) 123456, 123456 etc.
The bottom number of a time signature tells us what note receives 1 beat. Since the bottom number is now an 8, think of it as a fraction of 1/8, and the eighth note/rest receives 1 beat in 6/8 time.
Therefore, a quarter note receives 2 beats.
a dotted quarter note receives 3 beats.
2. Say the letter names of the notes in rhythm.
3. Play the song on your guitar. (B-flat is 3.3 on the fret board).
