Music and Maths

I couldn't sleep last night as I was trying to figure out the link between guitar timing and fractions... and I did at about 6 am in the morning, it just clicked.

Basically 2/4 means a rythm such as 1 2 1 2 1 2... it's a marching beat...
and 3/4 means 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3.... like a waltz rythm....
etc. etc.. and 2/4 is the same as a half because you are only using half of the 4 beats.... hehehe... well, it makes sense to me!!!!!!!

anyway... I had never really quite grasped rythms previously... and they are quite fun
6/8 is 1 2 3 2 2 3....
