2nd question:  If possible can music notation be shown?

Music notation would help me with practicing the intervals and hearing them. And it shows the beats.

I leave this to your guidance.

Thanks for the lessons

Thank you Chris

First Question (1 of 2):

My understanding is in “normal” music notation, 4/4  the quarter notes get the strong beat and the eight notes get the up and down beat (one and) 

So for Bluegrass, it is played in “cut time, 2/4”; therefore, the eighth notes are counted as two down strokes (the strong beats) from what you are saying, and the sixteenth notes get the up and down beat.

Is that correct?

Pamela,

1) That's exactly correct.

2) I too would love to have regular notation included. I will look into that with Mike.

Thanks!

Chris

If I am working in a loop (any where in the song) how do I save it?

 

Thank you Chris,

Hi Pamela --- good question.  We don't support saving loops --- but may in the future.  

How would you like it to work?
