PrettyBoyFloyd posted... ImAMarvel posted... back when i used to practice guitar in high school, i couldn't read sheet music for shit and would just look up tabs. lol i really regret not learning how to read music and not picking up an instrument when i was a kid though, considering how much i love music and how i've always wanted to start up a musical project or something. i still kinda plan on learning how to play guitar and learning how to read sheet music. It also would help if instruments were cheaper. I mean how many have $3,000 to spare for a guitar ? You can get a gig and recording worthy guitar for under a grand. Only idiots but brand new when it comes to production models. --- "Kenan & Kel is what made me realize I wasn't racist." ~ NewportBox100s <cite>butthole666 posted [p:883465579] in why do gui...

Sure, if you have no means of hearing the song then you need some way to replicate it, but this is 2017. You can send that shit directly into someone's pocket. You don't need to know what time signature something's in. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG <cite>weapon_d00d816 posted [p:883465665] in why do gui...

Vertania 07/23/17 7:21:47 PM #53:	SiO4 posted... It's more about understanding why one fret up or down makes a difference. There is a reason music theory exists. Just because 'the sound goes up, and down' doesn't mean it's doing it properly. And a good ear can hear that. Again, I don't think a lot of rock musicians care about being proper. <cite>Vertania posted [p:883466022] in why do gui...

Vertania 07/23/17 7:55:20 PM #56:	I see Eddie Van Halen and Slash getting mentioned a lot ITT, but we're leaving out a lot of other major guitarists who never knew how to read music: Jimi Hendrix: http://ppcorn.com/us/2016/01/08/top-5-musicians-who-couldnt-read-music/ In a 1969 interview on The Dick Cavett Show, Hendrix was asked if he could read music, to which he replied, "No, not at all." Stevie Ray Vaughan: http://www.guitarworld.com/stevie-ray-vaughan-opens-his-first-guitar-world-interview-1984 "I took music theory for one year in high school and flunked all but one six-week period," he confides. "That's because I couldn't read music... It was more like math to me." He adds, "A lot of the songs I write now... I don't even know what key they're in. I have to ask somebody to find out. I can play it, I just can't name it. Jazz changes and all. But I don't know the names of what it is I'm doing." Eric Clapton: http://ppcorn.com/us/2016/01/08/top-5-musicians-who-couldnt-read-music/ In his autobiography, Slowhand, Clapton spoke about his anxiety during a guest session with Aretha Franklin. "I felt so nervous because I couldn't read music, and they were all playing from music sheets on stands." And finally, *The Beatles* (all four of them): http://www.beatlesinterviews.org/db1980.jlpb.beatles.html LENNON: "...none of us are technical musicians. None of us could read music. None of us can write it. But as pure musicians, as inspired humans to make the noise, [Paul, George, and Ringo] are as good as anybody." https://youtu.be/ca_GCvApODg?t=29s Here's an article to read through if you have the time: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robbie-gennet/why-is-sheet-music-still-_b_7975400.html It mentions a lot more artists who supposedly can't read or write music, but I don't feel like fact-checking the rest of them. <cite>Vertania posted [p:883467847] in why do gui...

The Beatles would also have had more 'musicianship' if they could sweep pick at 400bpm or played the harp Doesn't mean anything Maybe a better way to look at it is that if you wanted to emulate the Beatles' success (to the extent that you could), their inability to read music is not the place to start. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:883480657] in why do gui...

And you all are as stubborn as when politics are being discussed. Idk personally I used to say all that stuff about not wanting to learn theory because I don't want to be boxed in. And I can read sheet music but don't 99% of the time, but I will say that ear training and theory are still super important for guitar playing. I'm not very technical but just being able to look at the tabs and make the connection of what chords you're playing and what kind of scale fits to solo on for the song has already started to open way more doors as far as what I'm able to write, and what I'm able to improv on with existing songs. --- PSN: doomtrain69 Now Playing: Ace Combat Infinity, Fallout 2 RP, FFVIII, Silent Hunter III <cite>alexander37 posted [p:883480690] in why do gui...
