6/8 time signature grooves and fills

A 6/8 time signature is the same as a fraction. In music it means that there are 6 eigth notes in each bar. Normally in a bar of 4/4, we have 8 eigth notes in the bar. Just like in fractions, 4/4 = 8/8).

In this 6/8 time signature, the emphasis is on beat 1 and 4.
