(shrug) so this has sheet music on it already?




N/M I figured it out.

Are you looking for sheet music for guitar/bass or drums? Tab sites ain't going to do shit for you for drums, sadly.

And finding sheet music online for free is next to impossible. I've tried.

You can turn off the tab and just read the standard notation if you have Guitar Pro.

I am looking for sheet music for guitar. I have a cheap Peavy electric.

I'm going to set aside my music snob side that says "every musician should read sheet music" and say that tab is the better way to go. I think sheet music is great as a communicative device on guitar or bass to/from other instruments, but tab shows fingerings and positions, which I think it a lot better and more efficient.

Well I don't want straight up sheet music. This is what I wanted with this power tab thing. Tab with the notes too.

you gotta have both.. especially if you're a singer. or if you're playing a piece of music blind for the first time.. never having heard it played before. do you read sheet music? i learned in school orchestra.. still retain 80% of it.

I can read sheet music, though my sight-reading at a fast tempo isn't too great. As a bassist, I get by just fine with chord charts or lead sheets about 90% of the time. Even if i just know the key, I can manage fairly well.

yeah unfortunately sight-reading for violin and guitar are completely different.. so much that you have to learn it all over again for guitar. but all the theory shit stays the same. i never bothered to learn guitar like that because everythign i play i see in numbers.. multiples of 2 and 3 or 5 and 12.. i think someone like james hetfield said he never learned how to read music because he didn't have to. i'd like to though because knowledge kicks ass. know what i'm sayin?

Definitely, and it's easier to communicate with other musicians with it. Rock musicians, by nature, almost never need to read music but they generally aren't doing anything that can't be learned from a chord progression or tab for a riff. If you're trying to work with non-rock guys, your offerings of tab as a guideline will be met with confusion or ridicule.

I've learned how important ear-training is since my general understanding of music theory only goes from what I learned on the basics of piano and guitar.

When you're reading for guitar, are you supposed to play an octave higer or something?

An octave higher than what?

An octave higher than the actual notes transcribed? I don't really know what I'm talking about, I'm just having vague flashbacks from when I had a guitar teacher who was teaching me to read..

Yes, guitar is written an octave above concert pitch because a lot of the open chords would otherwise be written in the middle of the grand staff, so you would have to show both bass and treble clefs if guitar was written to pitch. It's just easier to write everything an octave above and only have to piss with treble clef.

It's even worse for horns that are played a major second or a major sixth lower than written. Playing by ear in a orchestra is pretty much a no-no.

So you're playing an octave lower than a pianist would?

croninburg wrote:So you're playing an octave lower than a pianist would?

Yeah. That's why all the upper register stuff on guitar sheet music is usually spanned by the "8va" notation. You have to remember, the guitar has a pretty wide range. If you played a guitar as written, you're essentially playing a mandolin! Just throw a capo on the 12th fret.

Well as you've probably guessed, I can't read music In fact, I haven't even really read a tab in the last couple of months, just rote learned some parts that our sax player wrote, jammed, and written by ear. I've been meaning to take some lessons and theory tests though, I don't know what kind of grading system you have in the states..

Well, I went backwards. I learned everything by ear for years and then later worked on theory and music reading when I started working with more educated musicians. While I can here a Bb and just land on it on a lot of instruments, trying to communicate with people who play keys or whatever is going ot be hampered if you're like "I'm basically jumping from the first string, 5th fret to the third string 9th fret."

It's just easier to say A9.

Well, it's not like you have to do much more than grunt "palm mute and hit one fret up and six frets up".

I finally found some sheet music I can read!!!!!!
Although I'm having some problems with the triplets at the end...

i've been reading musical notation before Pfl?yd even reached pueberty, and this piece makes more sense than his rhetoric
