So everything I've ever played to this point in my playing has been in 4/4 time.
I'm looking at the tab for Chili Pepper's "Breaking The Girl" and It is in 6/8 time.
Is 6/8 time different from 3/4 time??
YEs and no
If you have 6 8ths in a bar you can count them 1&2&3& or 1&&2&&. Counting it on 2 gives a triplet feling to the 8ths.
I don't know that RHCP song, but I guess for all practical purposes you can count in on 3
Somebody will probably soon chip in with a more qualified answer tho'

...only thing I know how to do is to keep on keepin' on...

Strictly speaking, 6/8 should be counted as two lots of three, with emphasis on the first grouping
One-two-three-two-two-three
