So I was sitting in class one day and struggling to think of a good rhythm combination. So I thought hey why don’t I try all of them. If one beat has 16 different variations, one measure shouldn’t be that bad right, and boy was I wrong. I calculate everything for one measure and I got 64. Now you probably are thinking, “Well okay it is a bit tough but spend some time with it and you can find something good”. Heh heh, well that is just going down to the eighth subdivision. The amount of combinations of sixteenth subdivisions for one measure is 256! Crazy right? Really says to how infinite music is.

When you get into different subdivision possibilities for each note, it's exponential and only physicists who can't get dates might figure that out. 
I tried to calculate how many possible note combinations is possible on guitar, the math I had was kind of simple but the number was like a paragraph.
Was probably wrong but I do think that there's a lot of combinations mixing rhythms/note values and melodic notes

I think I will pass this one for now. Last saturday my mom mad on me because I failed 8x8 on math
Yeah the lightning bolt is a quarter note rest. I had to that instead what it actually looks like because I suck at drawing it and would make the whole paper 10x more complicated.
