Listen to cropduster. Listen to the guitar riff during the verse. Count along in time until the riff beings again. You should hit the number 7.

an indication of rhythm following a clef, generally expressed as a fraction with the denominator defining the beat as a division of a whole note and the numerator giving the number of beats in each bar. Got it now!
Funny, I'm just as confused as ever. I'm told it's all about how you count. But fuck that, I don't listen to music to do math.

I'm sometimes bad at differentiating between time signatures that are divisible by each other. Like is it 3/4 or 3/8 or 6/16 or what?
