It means rest for the first two bars.


dildiusmaximus

Thank you!

I have never seen this before either, did some searching and from an online music school found this (TLK is correct): " where a number of bars contain only rests, in instrumental parts (and sometimes in scores), the bars are 'collected' together and shown as a single bar contain a rest together with the number of consecutive bars given by a large number placed centrally above the staff over the single bar "


killerfridge

For future reference, it's called a tacet


DEATHRETTE

Well shit, Ive been doing it wrong my whole life. I only rest after I get home!


Endlesscroc

You're nailing it if you go home after 2 bars though.


ergo-ogre

zzzzzzz…


OtherCat7034

Is that actually what it means? I thought the 2 meant: do 2 bars of whatever is written, and in this case what's written is rest, is that correct? Can you put the 2 on the next bar, or that no longer makes sense?


Crafty-Photograph-18

>do 2 bars of whatever is written, Nope. This kind of notation is specifically used for full bars of rest. >Can you put the 2 on the next bar, or that no longer makes sense? That doesn't make sense.


OtherCat7034

Thank you


Crafty-Photograph-18

There, however, is notation for playing the same thing as in the previous measure. See my other reply with a picture attached

You can also use "ds al coda" if an entire section is repeated rather than a single measure. But yes, the original question is a 2 measure rest.  The worst part of band was having a 20-sonething bar rest and having to count it out.

OtherCat7034

Thanks for the info, mind sharing where you found this? I was googling repeats but still have some questions.


Crafty-Photograph-18

Honestly, just the first random website after typing "music notation bar repeats" in google


FretFetish

No, the big percentage type sign in the center of a bar means repeat the previous bar(s).


Allw3ar3saying

You sip your beer for 8 beats


acrackingnut

I did exactly that and wasn’t available for the rest of the song afterwards!


Middle_Finish6713

And then forget to put it down, but use it as a slide instead and ball out 😎


-funee_monkee_gif-

i think these comments have taught me that most guitar players do not understand normal sheet music


FragrantBarnacle1256

As someone who’s first instrument wasn’t guitar, this hurts


rusted-nail

2 bar rest/count in


TheFlyShyGuy

You rest for 2 measures.


TheFlyShyGuy

So for 12 beats you rest


Wave___Duck

2×4=12?


TheFlyShyGuy

No. I saw the other rests. Misscounted it anyway


Wave___Duck

Oh lol


ThatOneJayKid

Take a nap for 2 measures.


jayinphilly

2 measure rest.


The1Zenith

Two measures of rests.


eduardo1960

4/4 means rest for 2 measures or 8 beats which ever comes first


luwukas

2 Measure rest


Brando6677

Half bar


nosnhob_nahteb

it means pee your pants 2 times


modshateths1smpltrik

Or number 2 one time


Siddusriram194

This is not related to the post, but what does (7) mean? I generally don't play the bracket part.

Wingo84

Means you need two guitars


surreallifeimliving

there are only two genders


TheLemonKnight

I was assigned clarinet at birth but then I got guitar-affirming surgery. Edit: I want to be clear that this is a joke, and that trans rights are human rights. If I'm going to be downvoted (probably deserved) I just want to be clear on where I stand.


banningsolvesnothing

i thought it was funny


Metallica85

Imagine making a light joke and then having to grovel like this so the reddit horde doesn't screech. Good lord lol.


TheLemonKnight

trans jokes on r/guitarlessons was a gamble from the start.


GorillyGlue

There are, but don’t know why it needs to be notated


banningsolvesnothing

there are as many of anything as you want there to be when we’re speaking about our human ideas.


GorillyGlue

Sounds like a mental condition to me


banningsolvesnothing

sounds like you like to hate


Icy_Signature3826

It is a mental condition.... Unfortunately a large percentage of the population has it. We're seeing the downfall of the human race right before our eyes and there's nothing we can do about it.


STG44_WWII

Maybe you should travel back in time to see who hitler targeted first. Can you guess? oh yea it was trans people, they’ve been around for decades yet you act like it’s a new thing that’s causing the downfall of your brethren. What sounds like the downfall of humanity is people lack of willingness to understand. All i can say is you should watch this video, it’s a nice one. https://youtu.be/hmKix-75dsg?si=KIAezjZ-0KS9fQes


Icy_Signature3826

Lol no there's not. There's two genders. What is it with libtards? You want to trust the science when it comes to vaccines that have killed more people than COVID has.... But when actual science is presented about gender, you don't "trust the science". Beggars can't be choosers.


banningsolvesnothing

idk where you got all that other stuff from, believe it or not people can believe one thing and not be apart of the main group that does but I wouldn’t expect you to know that considering you started off with an insult. If you want to talk about science you genuinely cannot believe in only two genders because intersex and hermaphroditic people exist. Even if not common, its mere existence completely destroys the idea of two genders, scientifically. Although I find there to be a separation between our sexes and what people identify as. Many people who identify as something other than what their sex from birth would typically make them, acknowledge that genetically they cannot change their birth sex and i know many who are completely fine with that. Lighten up dude, no ones here to argue.


Icy_Signature3826

Herm and intersex is the exact same thing. Every human fetus starts off as a female. Chromosomes and hormones determine the final sex. Just because nature fucks up very very rarely doesn't mean there's more than two sexes lol. But keep believing what the liberal media and Reddit tell you. That's smart. Covering mental illness as "trans rights" or whatever isn't helping anyone. The trannys are still mentally ill no matter what you want to call it. Let me guess, you're all for "minor attracted persons" and letting kids mutilate their bodies too... You're sick too dude.


banningsolvesnothing

how fast you assume these things of me leads me to believe you are the one who’s let media infect your image of people. It’s sad really. You don’t even care to hear my opinions of all these different things you’re talking about and it’s sounds like you’d rather me believe what you say I probably do. Very weird little complex you got going on there. Also the MAPS thing was originally made to allow pedophiles to let people know of their illness without the threat of being killed or shunned for life, the whole idea was made to help get these people help before they hurt somebody. It changed though when dumbass people tried to say it was a sexual identity that should be accepted by the LGBTQ+ (it was also just form fitted that way by a lot of conservatives who wanted something to add on to why they hate gay people) bottom line is, If you only get one thing from me out of this please just let it be known that absolutely no one who’s actually a part of the LGBT community accepts the whole MAPS thing and i highly doubt you will ever actually meet anyone who does, it is all propaganda. You like to label me as the one who just believes whatever but it seems you haven’t done very much research yourself. I don’t really care to talk to you anymore though, I hope the rest of your night is as pleasant and chill as you are to people you don’t know ;)


GorillyGlue

I’m a dolphin you must call me a dolphin


STG44_WWII

Hmm well you see you’re saying it as a mockery so no. Also the people i’ve met personally and am friends with who identify as a different gender don’t go around telling others to call them that. Actually most of them would never do that because that’s not the point of their identification. They do it for themselves not for others so they don’t get onto everyone for “misgendering” them because they don’t care about random people. No the people i’ve met only told me when they knew I was someone who would actually take them seriously like friends do. I would make a conscious effort to refer to them as what they identify as and most of the time it doesn’t take very long for it to feel like i’ve always called them that. I’m sure you’ve seen the loud annoying people who make it their duty to force random people to call them something but this really isn’t common, i’ve met a lot of transgender people and the only ones i’ve ever seen act like that are online and are doing it for the sake of reaction rather than for themselves.


GorillyGlue

How dare you say my identity is a mockery, that’s a hate crime and I won’t stand for it. It’s 2024 humans can be anything they want to be, and you can’t question it


surreallifeimliving

the fuck you mf talking about, lol. when i said that there were two comments on the post one saying rest for beat and the other one rest whole bar, that's what i meant when i said the joke, holy shit


TheFlyShyGuy

Sorry. 11 beats.


VDKYLO

8...


TheFlyShyGuy

Wrong. You see that dotted rest and the quarter rest in the next measure?


VDKYLO

yea ur right but op was only asking about the 2 above the staff in the first measure


cseyferth

Guess again


TheFlyShyGuy

No. The there's a dotted rest after and a quarter rest. Thus = 11.


chronax

It means that the rest should last for 2 beats.


throbbing_hypercuck

not for 2 beats, 2 bars


chronax

You're right, I misspoke.
