   Beat stresses should be accented in the music ie. in simple 3/4 you would have a bass note on beat 1 with the melody and this would accent the music without necessarily playing beat one louder. So beat stresses are implied and the player doesn't have to play beat one louder and beats two and three softer. In modern music the drummer will usually accomplish the beat stresses simply by using the snare. When writing you have in mind what the standard stress is of any time signature and write accordingly. Note that standard stress is often thrown out the window in prog music.

	It's your feel man, you shouldn't play exactly like the ones that will teach you.

	How does changing the accents like if i'm playing a 6/8 riff over a 3/4 riff affect the mood of the music and such? How do I know which I should choose? Is it supposed to be the natural "feel" or w\e everyone else tells me?

	More often than onot the drums will accent the required beat, and so you will most likely do it without thinking about it. If there are no drum parts then yes you do need to stress the beat by playing the note louder The easiest way to differentiate between 3/4 and 6/8 on guitar is that in 6/8 every other emphasized beat will be on an up stroke, whereas in 3/4 all the emphasised beats will be down strokes

	Hi. I think Camel's " RAJAZ" album help you. The song named " RAJAZ" (instrumental) is a good example.you can listen to this song and then try to cover it.

	So, i'm learning guitaring and i'm interested in time sigs associated with prog. I know some stuff about time sigs like 3/4 with 8th notes is grouped like 1 2 \| 1 2 \| 1 2 and 6/8 is like 1 2 3 \| 1 2 3 There's supposed to be beat stressing on the notes.. Is that implied? Like when i'm playing 3/4 is it assumed without accents that the 1rst beat of every double is stressed? How do I know? And like 6/8 vs 3/4, is it assumed to stress the first beat of each triplet? How as the music player do I know what to accent when it's not like specified? And do you just play the note louder or quieter with stressing? It sounds a bit easy, but like it's really hard for me.. I have to like memorize the stressings to play it and stuff. Makes my head hurt! Edited by cjgone - October 11 2009 at 13:37
