I thought that I understood rhythm notation.
Could someone look at the first full measure of Flake by Jack Johnson:

To me it looks like there are 17 sixteenths notes in this measure broken down as follows
A dotted eigth followed by a sixteenth = 4/16 = 1/4
4 sixteenths = 4/16 = 1/4
A sixteenth rest = 1/16
A dotted eigth followed by a sixteenth = 4/16 = 1/4
4 sixteenths = 4/16 = 1/4
It all adds up to 17/16. What's up? What am I doing wrong?
