Learn How to Read Music

Dreadnaught asked:


I found this guitar tab on the internet that I would like to play, http://www.fretplay.com/tabs/d/days_of_the_new/weapon_and_the_wound-tab.shtml
I used to know how to sight-read music really well and I used to play classical, but then I got a new guitar teacher that wanted me to play rock, so I forgot how to sight-read. I know how to tune a guitar regularly to e, B, G, D, E, A, E, and I also know how to re-string a guitar. On the other hand however, I don’t know how to tune a guitar to B, E, C#, B, G#, and C# (and i don’t have a guitar teacher anymore).

How to Read Music for Beginners

Keys asked:


Okay, I just restarted playing the piano/keyboard and this time, I want to mainly play Pop/Rock. I’m almost always restricted to reading sheet music because I played Classical when I was little. I was just wondering what would be the best route for me since I’m going to focus on Pop/Rock now, sight reading or play by ear? Also, any other tips for playing Pop/Rock on the piano/keyboard would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Cho_Chang asked:


I know this probably sounds completely stupid, but I’ve have classical piano training for 10 years and friends have asked me to jam, and I have absolutely no idea what to expect/what I’m supposed to do. I’m good at classical piano, I can sight read alright, but when it comes to how music exactly works, I’m lost and I have no idea what I need to work on to not make a fool of myself when jamming. I’ve had some theory, but its very basic. And yes I understand chords and inversions, etc. and I’ve been doing some research and alot of reading.

And how long is this going to take me to learn? I’ve asked my piano teacher and she thought I was crazy to go after this after 10 years of classical training and went into this whole thing about how you have to be musically gifted to improvise/jam and if you aren’t gifted it takes years and years to learn…..
