It's saying guitarists can't read sheet music.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Sheet music is sheets of music with a staff and clef and tempos and the jazz. Sheet music generally differs with the instrument. Every line or space has it's own musical note. To play the notes you have to do something with your hands which on some instruments are called fingerings but some like the trombone call them positions. Guitarists strum to produce sound. Every chord plays a different note but on most of the guitars I have seen there is only 7 chords which is understandable because the notes are A-G[7 letters] but there are flats and sharps which change it up. It would probably be hard to learn how to play enough notes to play loads of songs but some people skip that shit and just strum without learning to read sheet music.

You had a good comment, but it progressively got more incorrect and confusing.

I'm not entirely sure what you just said, but I play guitar and read sheet music. Although I do know a lot of guitarists only play chords, classical players, like me, actually read music.

I'm also a guitarist, but I don't play classical. However, I can read music. Most of the guitarists I know can only read tablature.

only 7 chords????

by Anonymous 12 years ago

no the square root of 2401 and then divide that by 7

You're a complete idiot. There are not only seven chords on guitar...

Well then I guess I have seen some fucked up mutated guitars or something because if you read correctly I said ''the guitars I have seen''

I'm not the person arguing with you, but I have no idea what you're talking about..

The only "7" I can think that you're talking about could be the seven notes of A B C D E F and G. However, you are leaving out all the sharps and flats. Plus, chords are completely different from notes and you can make countless numbers of chords on every guitar.

Is sheet supposed to mean "shit" or just regular sheet music? x]

I can't read treble clef, so this would sadly apply to me xD

Staff lines starting from bottom up are EGBDF, or Every Good Boy Does Fine. Spaces starting up are F, A, C, and E, and they spell FACE. There ya go.

Can you read Bass Clef? Not that it would change anything but I am just curious.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Yup. I play Double Bass, and I'm used to that. I can read the lower notes of Treble (not very well), but that's it.

Bass clef (the lines) can be read from bottom up as Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always (GBDFA) and the notes go in order so the spaces are ACEG which I don't have a trick for :/ oh and for treble clef it can also be every good boy deserves fudge, but that one could be confusing and easily mixed up so every good boy does fine is probably better... Oh and I know how to read alto clef too seeing as I'm a violist, but no tricks there >.< (Did any of that make sense?)

I remember ACEG as "all cows eat grass."

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I already knew how to read both clefs but the thought is nice. I play treble clef so I better know that or my band teacher is going to be mad about that. The way she taught us Treble Clef was FACE in the spaces and Every Good Boy Does Fine in the lines. The Bass Clef's line were Good Boys Do Fine Always. We had multiple ways of remembering the spaces like what ZombieBandwagon said, Ace G, alley cats eat garbage,etc.

Im a guitar player and can read sheet music just as well as I read books. Mind you I also played piano for ten years. But putting sheet music in front of the guitarists I know wouldnt stop them from playing... xb

I'm a self taught guitarist and I didn't learn how to read music till after atleast 3 years of playing. And that too I forced myself.

I play guitar and i can read treble, alto, tenor and bass clef. So it wouldn't stop me in any way

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I misinterpreted this I guess. Until I read the comments I thought it meant guitarists did their own thing and played amazing music and didn't play within the bounds on sheet music. They always added their own twist to it so reading sheet music would make then feel restrained and refuse. Haha oh well.
