Contents of the video

Three, four, one. Hi, I'm here to give you some lessons in DJing and this is video number two in a selection of one that I'm doing on how to count bars. Um, it's, ah, right. And what you do is for bars, um, and what you do is you count. And you count as follows. Um, right, now, DJ, you have to count. The music's coming from over there because I've that thing in there. It's coming from there. Um, now then, with... Regards a bar. A bar is very important in music and what you need to do is you need to count. Now then, when I play this particular piece of music here, you need to actually count the beats. Now the beats are the parts where you can hear... The actual thing. Now if you listen closely and listen to that thing, this is video number two by the way, you can actually hear that noise. We're going to count something like this. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. You need to times that by five, divide it by four, add the number you started with and add a banana. No, it's missing.

This is your second video in how to count things for the new DJ out there, so bearing in mind there will be more of these particular videos and thanks for watching. Can I go now?
