Here we go again...

A bar has NOTHING to do with how many lines it is!!! That is a terrible misconception that was started by idiots and has spread like wildfire.

One bar is four counts of the beat... So four bars would be...

1... 2... 3... ONE
1... 2... 3... TWO
1... 2... 3... THREE
1... 2... 3... FOUR

OR

Kick... Snare... Kick... Snare...
Kick... Snare... Kick... Snare...
Kick... Snare... Kick... Snare...
Kick... Snare... Kick... Snare...

OR if there is no beat, say your verse out loud while bobbin' your head to it... Every four headbobs is one bar... So four bars would be 16 headbobs...

Don't believe that one bar is two lines, it makes us all look dumb!!

Thats what i was trying to say about the audio, i thought in text people just usually called it 2 lines to a bar even if it aint technically correct.
