those time signatures arent anything special. 90% of them are 4/4 and even 6/8 is a popular time signature in Pop/rock music.

Some of those listed time signatures could be a bit more accurate.

Like the bridge in KKJ is 6/8. And stuff like that.

3/4 and 6/8 are the same thing. Think of it as this in 3/4. One Meausre on guitar, all down beats. One measure rest.

I wouldn't consider them the "same thing" because you don't play 6 8th notes the same as you would 3 quarter notes. But you're right :P

I mean, it's just so much easier to count that section in 6/8...it flows better.

True, it is always much easier to count 6/8 even though they are both kind of the same thing

Cool list. I was actually thinking of starting a thread similar to this the other day because I want to understand this stuff better too. Thanks for putting that up BK.
