Beginner guitar songs
I read music for everything, from Zeppelin to like... i forgot the last pop song i did. They write their music down by Notation then some people later will tab either the band gives it to a magazine or someone doest it by ear, I still prefer reading sheet music over tab its how i like it :laughing:.
I feel like playing some thing that sounds really nice and and is good, recommend anything? I'm bit busy to learn the longer songs since i have to work on my new Album.
You have sheet music for the full arrangement of a zeppelin song? Including bass, drums, keyboard, etc? Since you're not dealing with standard classical instruments, you also need to know what amps and effects are being used, and how they're set up. Then some recorded stuff can't be done live, unless some recorded stuff is being played, as they do nowadays on stage. (ELO was one of the first to do it, since a lot of their stuff is electronic, and they got a lot of crap for it. Now everyone does it.)It's nice that you can read sheet music. If you can sound like Page on an album that you've never heard, just from reading sheet music, I'm impressed. (I assume you have sheet music that's arranged for guitar; sheet music for pianos usually has chords that can't be fingered on a real guitar.) You can really follow sheet music that's full of 6-notes-at-a-time passages?For pop music it's interesting, but kind of a waste of time. You may like Zeppelin, but it's not Bach or Albeniz. If you want to play rock with other people, you need to listen to something, quickly figure it out, and start playing.I can't overemphasize the importance of playing along with your CDs and MP3s.
You can't read sheet music can you!?
Actually Steve has a point.
Go away!
Grow up. Your just to immature to handle being proven wrong by someone.
Dont you have to go high jack some other friend. If you were mature enough you would have actually left, now go back on topic!
I can read a melody from sheet music, and simple chords, in real time.You may think you're superior if your adept at reading sheet music, but you are utterly clueless if you join a band and think that sheet music going to be passed out. If that's what you want, then join a symphony. I've never been in a situation where sheet music was passed out (sometimes chords and lyrics are, though. I've never seen anyone play rock, blues, jazz, reggae, or rap on stage with sheet music. And you can't duplicate the sound of a real recording with just sheet music. That works with classical instruments, but not electric guitars (Ibanez? Gibson? Fender? Which model? Customized?) going through effects pedals, rack effects, Marshall stacks, post-recording effects, etc.If you can't sit in with a group and quickly pick up what you need to start playing, you're just going to be playing with yourself forever. If you don't believe me, then find someone else you know who's actually played outside of his bedroom.
Well, i guess Jazz band at my school is bullshit, according to everything you just said. Take a look at a guitar Magazine, now find the sheet music under it, down under it it will be the tab above it notatition, they do it this way so you can look at the rhythm and beat the tempo the time signature what clef it is in. The tab is to see what notes are.I dont know where you got all the band crap but that is not true! My band we write our stuff down in notation then after we put it into tab, saves us time. All the modern bands do it now.
Actually I was on topic. I was backing up what steve was trying to tell you.
You play Zeppelin in your jazz band? Good. You planning on playing out with a rock/reggae/pop/etc. band? Then get a clue, arrogant little shit. You win the prize, in general, for least informed / most obnoxious / most strident. Not a pleasant combination.
I didn't make this stuff up. I had teachers with masters degrees and such from Berklee School of Music and Boston University. All of them could read sheet music very well, and they could also play instruments other than guitar and bass (keyboard always among them).
If you're playing jazz orchestral arrangements, then fine. If you're playing Dave Brubeck, then probably not. If you're playing Mississippi blues, I seriously doubt it.
Now go train your ear and stop bothering the nice people around here. OK are we done now?
I've heard bullshit about music and guitar, but this topped it all!!Keep telling me more
Obviously you know more than real musicians but get back to me when you have a recording contract.
Idiot. We're done.
Awww! Dont be like that, come one tell me more bullshit! I can post this on guitar forums for good laughs!!
YOU post on guitar forums? I thought you only liked to make an ass of yourself on this forum.Find a real musician who agrees with you and get back to me, little boy.
No, but I know someone who plays electric marimba (a Berklee grad, no less).
Come on teach me about "Scales" Oh great Steve Vai!Wait, eww Steve Vai should grab his guitar and brake it on your head!
Sorry, there's no such thing as classical washboard. You'll have to go back to McDonald's for now.
Your wrong steve.Classical washboard is played with a spoon and mostly only used in Jug Bands.Its used to back up the guy on the wash tub who stuck a pole in the upturned tin tub and fthen tied a string to the pole and one to the tub and by tilting and tightening or loosening the pole fthat guy can change the bass for his instrament.to really play these types of things classical style you must first drink the jug, then begin playing. Its also important to have a banjo and as few teth as possible. tobacco stains fofn your chin and overalls with no shirt and no shoes also help to complete the classical style.
Steve Vai wouldn't even piss on your head. I know at your age you're into hero worship, but music doesn't begin and end with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Vai, and Jimmy Page. Do you know anything about blues? Get back to me when you can play like Grant Green. And have you heard of Jimi Hendrix? He must have really been awful.
I've also taken lessons with an old-school blues guitarist, one who has played with some of the greats of jazz and blues. We worked on augmented and diminished chords, turn-arounds, timing, playing with feeling, and learning the standards. But we never covered sight reading sheet music. I'll have to tell him some clueless little shit thinks he doesn't know what he's doing.
