The Difference Between 3/4 and 6/8 Time Signatures - Music Theory
What is the difference between 3/4 and 6/8 time signatures? Mathematically it appears that 3/4 and 6/8 are two versions of the same thing. On the face of it, there may appear to be little difference between music in 3/4 time or music in 6/8 time. Musically they are quite distinct, 3/4 being a Simple Triple time and 6/8 being a Compound Duple time. In this music theory lesson the detail of this is unpacked and examples played that demonstrate the essential differences. It is important for players and composers alike to grasp this topic in order to avoid confusing the two. By the end of this music theory lesson you will hear a distinct difference and it will help you to communicate the distinction between the two time signatures in the music you perform.

The basic difference to me as a percussionist is each meter creates the basic stress points of the eighth notes. In 3/4 it's 3 duples, 1+2+3+. In 6/8 it's 2 triples 123,456. Beats 1 and 4 being the strong beats. In manys cases the 2 meters are interchangeable depending on how you accent the rhythm. Composers generally pick one or the other depending on basic stress points they want to hear rhythmically in any given phrase. In a lot of Latin American orchestral music you'll often see the meter switch back and forth between 3/4 & 6/8 depending upon when the composer wants to hear duples or triples, while the eighth note tempo remains the same. It's all about using notation to aid the musician to, " feel it baby, feel it"!

Nice explanation. I play Irish music, so the best way we distinguish, especially for those whose don't read music well, is to say that 3/4 is basically a waltz time, while 6/8 is essentially a jig time. The key is, as you finally got around to saying, the number of beats in the bar. The waltz is a 3-beat bar, while the jig is a 2-beat bar.
@MusicMattersGB
2 жыл бұрын
Absolutely and that works especially well for Irish music. Slow 6/8 tempi cause people more trouble in my experience because then it’s not a jig but the principle is the same.

As an ex band member guitarist in a rock band, we covered a few track from Status Quo, which many criticise as being "dead easy" to play. I always challenge them to play the intro of "Whatever You Want", which is of course played in 6/8 timing. But with just the lead guitarist, with no drum track, it is not always obvious, and catches out many who try to play it for the first time.

As a drummer, I have always loved 6/8 time. For me, 6/8 is a "half-time feel". I enjoy playing halftime feels because as the name implies the rhythm feels like it is playing at half the speed of the "normal" rhythm. For example in 3/4 I will place the bass drum on beat 1 and will either play the snare on 2 and 3 or just 3. When I play in 6/8 I play the bass drum on beat 1 and move the snare to beat 4 (which in 3/4 would be the + of 2) which "elongates" the groove and makes it feel more relaxed. Anyway, that is how I see it. Thanks!

This information is very clearly presented and all musicians and especially songwriters should know this! I always approached it this way, but I couldn’t articulate it like this. As a professional drummer, the wacky thing is when someone writes a chart or score that should be in 6/8 but they write it in 3/4….and vice versa! It’s crazy and the counting is whacked!

i used to think of 6/8 as a 2/4 where everything is triplets. that's fundamentally what's happening but the patterns in 6/8 aren't typical triplet patterns

Thank you so much! This was so helpful. I took my abrsm exam last month, and without your help, I probably wouldn't have passed in theory! Thanks so much Mr. Green! Every video you make, I get better at theory :D

I was just having a similar discussion with a composition student. Even though he plays the drums, he really didn’t understand meter as a function of rhythm. It has been my experience that many performing musicians don’t fully understand this concept, and as a result, don’t always play with an accurate feel. Composers need to understand this so their pieces accurately reflect the rhythmic expression they wish to convey. Thank you for a concise explanation of this important musical concept.

A very nice explanation of the difference between 3/4 and 6/8. I always thought of 6/8 as a version of 2/4 (for marches) with triplets built in.

Yes, I see 12/8 as 4 'swung' triplets.

Correct, 6/8 traditionally is a Marching Rhythm and has a triplet feel like an old English Sea Shanty.
Absolutely brilliant !

I learned reading music year by year in grade school through to high school music and band classes and must be known to get into school marching bands or bands or orchestra settings or such as military bands and music groups with instruments and vocals. I was taught that 6/8 was called and considered as being "WALTZ TIME" !!! Thanks for this video sir, it is most appreciated !!! 👍😎🎸🤘👏☺️🎼🇺🇸🙏 DDH 8-22-2023.

A great composer and music teacher of mine often said that our notation system was an imperfect solution with no better system available, meant to be a musical guide as to what notes to play and when. But all of the subtle musical nuance is impossible to notate (exact note start and stops, exact dynamics, pushing and delaying the notes for feeling, etc etc...). The notes are meant to help us recreate the composition over time, as a document meant to preserve the composer's notes. Here lies the world of musical performance teaching and the various interpretations that it requires. Though certain interpretations of the great classical works have become accepted, there is always room for new ways of playing these notes and rhythms and many teachers ready to teach them over their lifetimes! The beauty of notating our musical ideas is that it forces us to make choices as composers, and performers of our own compositions. By writing our ideas down on paper we are making a physical choice that this is our preferred note here which may seem simple but in fact and creates a lot of self discovery. See, often when we play our musical unwritten ideas, they go by quickly without concern. But when we write them down we take responsibility for those notes on paper and we have to say, yea, that is my preferred note choice here. It becomes something of a model composition for what we may have only improvised in different ways until this notation step. As a composer you are saying, I like this way as my standard arrangement, and now you might improvise on it or play variations but you always have authorship of this exact composition for future musicians to reference, interpret, and play.

A pleasure. 5/8 and 7/8 also appear in Western music.
As a beat producer, I've written music pieces in 6/8, that had a very interesting feel to them. The songs felt like they where slower than their actual tempo. I'd write a song in 6/8 at 120bpm, but it sounded like it could pass as a 4/4 song at 90bpm with a bit of swing thrown in the beat. Watching this video on 3/4 vs 6/8 really helped me understand the feel of the time signatures better. Thank you very much! 😁
