can someone please tell me what the difference is between a 4/4 and a 4/8 time signature?I mean i know that in 4/4 it's 4 beats per measure and the quarter note gets the beat and in 4/8 its the same but the 8th note gets the beat.But,What is the difference in counting?I know you count 4/4 as 1 2 3 4.But how do you count 4/8.Or is 4/8 really just the same as 4/4?
