How the hell do you count odd time signatures in music?

330 views

I’ve been listening to a lot of prog rock recently and since I’m a guitarist, I also want to learn the songs I listen to. Now, I have a good ear for melody, but where I always fall short is getting the correct rhythm down. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to count time signatures, and believe me, I’m trying.

Wait til you hear about 12/8 times. 4 triplets per bar. I count it 1-e-a-2-e-a-3-e-a-4-e-a.
