[Superplexmusic]

thanks man

[ISpoonedAPanda]

What I don't know is how do you know where to play on the frets? I can't see where I start :C I know what the symbols mean now though

[jessejafrnd]

Bravo! Thank you so much. I think I'm almost ready to give lessons. Great job, most of it took me right back to music class in grammar school. My only question is; p=soft f=louder, right? Great job teaching sir. I appriciate this.

[WillsEasyGuitar]

@jessejafrnd if i remember correctly back from my piano days, "P" was for "pedal" to soften the notes, and the"f" was for louder. i cant remember what the "f" stood for.

[jackpaice]

kinda left me wanting more

[MrElmoist]

this is good but i don't understand the notes above the bass cleft (or below treble). i was looking at a piece of music and it had 3 notes added together (like a chord) only two of them were above the bass cleft (the first was on the f note), how do i know which notes they are i don't understand

[WillsEasyGuitar]

@MrElmoist remember the first line above the bass and the first line below the treble is "middle c". if you see a bass with two lines above it, the top line is really the beginning of the trebel cleft. if you see a treble cleft with two lines below it, the lowest line is the top of the bass cleft. all notes repeat no matter what cleft your using. any notes on top of each other are always a chord.

I just found your videos, i think you are awesome teacher, thank you so much for you effort,you really helped me see things more clearly. thank you sooooooooo much

[divine0enigma]

Dude... what you're speaking is good information, but you're all over the place. You need a lesson plan.

[WillsEasyGuitar]

@divine0enigma i dont get paid to teach this stuff, so youre going to have to deal with how i do it. breaking it down further and giving examples would be better, but i dont have the time.

[MVP99922]

[calmclownful]

This series on How to Read Sheet was great, Thanks Man...But how much more information is there to read sheet music, or was this basically it?

[WillsEasyGuitar]

@calmclownful this is the majority of what you need to know. there are little tid bits here and there you will pick up as you go.

[yoyo2850]

thanx man helped a bunch :P

[ultrafine66]

I just want to say thank you! That really helped me. I've been trying to learn how to read music for awhile. You made it so easy to understand. Thank you

[shecter100]

so i play guitar, and i'm trying to learn sheet music for it. but there are multiple notes with the same name, for example there are many "C" notes on the guitar neck. how do i know which ones to hit?

[WillsEasyGuitar]

a c is a c depending on its octave. you know where it is by the notes before it and after it. most notes are within a chord pattern. you will know by how hard or easy it is to play.

[MegaloJoker]

thank you so much for this.

[josh4380]

So basically I shouldnt even be here if I dont know the notes fret by fret on my guitar?

[WillsEasyGuitar]

you need to start somewhere. its good to learn both at the same time.

[josh4380]

well yeah your right,

I did learn some things, my mother plays the piano, and sister plays the violin, both know all this, and know it well, but they never have time to teach me.

Im no beginner at guitar, but im in no means a guitarist. Everything I do its all just by ear, but now i want to take it much more seriously, and take a technical approach to it. I dud learn alot just by watching these 3 vids though, your a great teacher, very easy to understand :)

thanks for your vids!!

[justrightsamz]

i would pay millions to get lessons like this.....fantabulous

[SiquidProductions]

How do i know if you play these notes on the low E of the guitar or any where els? Because there is more than one E and i dont know which one to pick when the music ssays to play E.....

[WillsEasyGuitar]

think of your guiar like a piano. the low e would be near the far left of the piano and the high e would be closer to the high end, not the higest end but an octave below it or so. if you see the e on the sheet music high up, like on the "FACE" inner portion, that would be the high e more or less. you should be able to tell by comparing it to known tablature when in doubt. if it sounds right, its probably right.

[Dazsturbed]

How do I know if it's like a vibrato or trill or something like that?

[WillsEasyGuitar]

it will say trill usually under or over the notes. if its vibrato and its tab, you will see a wavy line next to the length of the note. vibrato is often used when ever the player wants to add something more to the note.

[Dazsturbed]

Yeah I know tab I have no problem with tab I've been playing guitar for 3 and a half years and am very familliar with tab, it's just i've never got round to learning to sight read.

[ryanroolz2]

is there like a way to work out the octaves so you know what the notes are exactly ? ?

[guitar19904]

great thnks but this is pretty much the basics ive got a hendrix book and its crazy

[angel70ss]

Hey!!! These are three great videos. Thanks!! I've been looking for this type of break down for awhile. It's alot of information but this way I can watch and write down these videos so I can learn to read sheet music. GREAT JOB!!!
