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

Question

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.

I highly recommend you watch videos by Cobb the Drummer on YouTube. He explains and demonstrates very well. There is one in particular that I like that’s called “time signatures 1/1, 2/2, 3/4…”
