Another popular time signature is twelve eight time (+ ), which means that there are twelve eighth note beats in each bar. A bar of eighth notes in twelve eight time sounds the same as a bar of triplets in four four time. This is because the twelve individual beats are grouped into threes and counted as four pulses (1 2 3 2 2 3 3 2 3 4 2 3). Many Blues songs and Ballads are written in + time.
This melody uses of 16th notes in + time. Write counting numbers under the notes and notice that each main beat adds up to the equivalent of a dotted quarter note.
