Hello people!! Can i start off by thanking those two darlings that replied to my last message?!
OK, i have another problem... can anyone tell me what the difference is between a Sixty-fourth Note and a, say an Eighth Note, in sound???? This may sound really stupid to all the pros out there reading this, but i really needed to ask... any help would be soooooooooooooooooooooo... appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hi Courtney!

No question is a dumb one if you don't know!

When we speak about eight notes, 64th notes we are talking about how long a note is played in duration.

1. Whole note = 4 beats
2. Half Note = 2 beats (2 of these make a whole note)
3. Quarter Note = 1 beat (4 of these make a whole note)
4. Eight Note = 1/2 beat (8 of these make a whole note)
5. 16th Note = 1/4 beat (16 of these make a whole note)
6. 32nd Note = 1/8 beat (32 of these make a whole note)
7. 64th Note = 1/16 beat (64 of these make a whole note)


I included a midi file it plays a D note on the 3rd fret 2nd string
