xX-Venom90-Xx its not the counting its conprehending the differnce of the quater notes and stuff Quarter notes in 6/8 pieces sound like measure-long triplets. It's counted as one, three, five if there are three quarter notes in the measure. If it's eighth notes, well it's pretty straightforward. One two three four five six. They SOUND like two separate triplets in the measure if the piece is being counted in two.

Depending on the style, you may want to count it different ways.
Usually, you'll put emphasis on 1 and 4, but if it's a pseudo-3/4 song, you'll want to emphasis 1, 3 and 5.
If the former is true, you should pretty much be feeling eighth note triplets, if the latter is true, it's simply 3 sets of 2 eighth notes.

Give the 8th note the beat. Double everything.
For example:
eighth note = quarter note
six eighth notes per measure = six quarter notes per measure
Downside:
Faster foot tapping makes it harder to keep track of time when tempos start speeding up. But by the time that happens you should be fairly comfortable with the song and move on your own.

okokokok hopefully this will help. Most pieces in 6/8 are directed in 2, sooooooooooo you could kind of (not really) think of it in 2/4 or 2/2 and the quarter note (the beat) would be a dotted 8th note.
Another thing you could do is you could make slash marks above beats 1 and 4 so if the director is directing 6/8 in 2 then you can tell where the beat is.
Hope this helped! good luck!

I count in fast 6/8 sometimes, and just make sure the 4th beat matches up with the beats that are being conducted in 2.
Writing out the beats in colored pencil helps red for 6/8 beats, and blue for 2. OR you could just write out the beats for whichever way you prefer counting

When we learned to count in 6/8 we say: One la Li, 2 la li And when you rest just count 1,2,1,2...

I personally find 6/8 easier than 4/4.
A Whole note=8 beats. that means an 8th note is 1beat. half note is 4 beats, dotted half note is a whole measure, quater note is 2 beats or 1/3 a measure. etc.
Like they said earlier it feels almost like triplets. Just practice "8th note=1beat" and eventually you'll find it easier to play because there's less of the "this note = 1 and 3/4th a beat" and weird things like that. Good Luck. smile
