The pitch of a note depends on its position on the musical staff (as well as the key signature and whether any accidentals are present).<\/p>\n<p>The rhythm of music notes, however, depends on the kind of symbol used for the note. Each symbol communicates a different duration or note value. Here&#8217;s a quick overview:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Whole note<\/strong>: hollow oval notehead with no stem<\/li>\n<li><strong>Half note<\/strong>: hollow circle notehead with stem<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quarter note<\/strong>: solid circle notehead with stem<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eighth note<\/strong>: solid circle notehead with stem and flag<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sixteenth note<\/strong>: solid circle notehead with stem and two flags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46199 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Notes-Values-in-Music-e1724273228888.jpg\" alt=\"Note Values in Music\" width=\"800\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Notes-Values-in-Music-e1724273228888-400x329.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Notes-Values-in-Music-e1724273228888-600x493.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Notes-Values-in-Music-e1724273228888-768x631.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Notes-Values-in-Music-e1724273228888.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Time signature<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46196 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Music-note-durations-time-signature.jpg\" alt=\"4\/4 time signature\" width=\"158\" height=\"161\" \/>The numbers next to the whole note, 4\/4, indicate the time signature. This tells us how to measure the beat. The bottom number signifies what kind of note we use for the basic beat. And the top number tells us how many of those notes are in each measure. So, in this case, 4\/4 means we have four quarter notes in each measure. The bottom &#8220;4&#8221; means quarter. (2 on the bottom means half note, and 8 on the bottom means eighth note.) All of the examples below use 4\/4 time signature.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Quarter note<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The quarter note takes one beat<\/strong>. In 4\/4 time signature, therefore, we will count four quarter notes in each measure. Let&#8217;s count that together: 1-2-3-4. To help you establish a steady pulse with even quarter-note rhythm, clap while you count out loud. You can even turn on a metronome and start with something slow and comfortable, like 60 beats per minute (bpm). In the example below the &#8220;x&#8221;-shaped notehead means clap.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Quarter-note-claps-800x88.jpg\" alt=\"Quarter note claps\" width=\"800\" height=\"88\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Quarter-note-claps-400x44.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Quarter-note-claps-600x66.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Quarter-note-claps-768x84.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Quarter-note-claps-800x88.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Quarter-note-claps-scaled.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Quarter-note-claps-1536x169.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you feel comfortable with counting out loud and clapping, we can play quarter notes on the guitar.

To count eighth notes, we break up the quarter note into two equal halves. The best way to count this is to use a mnemonic that is easy to remember:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1-and<\/li>\n<li>2-and<\/li>\n<li>3-and<\/li>\n<li>4-and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46182\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eighth-note-claps-800x70.jpg\" alt=\"Eighth note claps\" width=\"800\" height=\"70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eighth-note-claps-400x35.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eighth-note-claps-600x53.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eighth-note-claps-768x68.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eighth-note-claps-800x70.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eighth-note-claps-scaled.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eighth-note-claps-1536x135.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you need to slow down the tempo, or the pulse, that&#8217;s okay. What&#8217;s important is to count even divisions of the beat. Now let&#8217;s try that on the guitar again.

So now we are going to divide each of our eighth notes into equal halves. That will give us four even rhythmic values in the time of one quarter note. Again, a mnemonic device makes it easier to remember your sixteenths:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1-e-and-a<\/li>\n<li>2-e-and-a<\/li>\n<li>3-e-and-a<\/li>\n<li>4-e-and-a<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, don&#8217;t be afraid to slow down your overall pulse if you need to in order to make these even.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46184\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sixteenth-note-claps-800x75.jpg\" alt=\"Sixteenth note claps\" width=\"800\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sixteenth-note-claps-400x37.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sixteenth-note-claps-600x56.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sixteenth-note-claps-768x72.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sixteenth-note-claps-800x75.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sixteenth-note-claps-scaled.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/www.classicalguitarcorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sixteenth-note-claps-1536x144.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These notes go by quite quickly and require you to alternate very quickly on the guitar.
