Learn how to make and play the chords and then you can look at a music book like that and play the song.<br />Also, just about any song you could possibly want to learn has been "figured out" by someone and put on the internet. Many songs I have learned I found this way and practiced to learn them.<br />There is also a simple musical notation for guitar called "tablature" that takes just a few days practice to get the hang of, and you get better at reading guitar tablature quickly.<br />Tablature allows one to "read" and play songs on guitar as complex as with musical notation, but with much, much less pain.<br />Having said that, learning to read music is a great thing. Much like getting better at math. I admire him greatly for taking the more difficult path. If ever he plays guitar with other musicians, he will have an intimate understanding of the terms that trained musicians use.<br />Maybe one day I'll tackle learning to read music, but for now, my instructor is teaching me basic music theory so that I understand the keys, the notes in each key, and the chord formations and how they all fit and work together.<br />Turns out that I really needed this theory; I've come to understand so much in the past 6 weeks about exactly why I have never been able to progress past a certain point in my playing.<br />I'm slowly adding skills to my playing that are completely based on having learned this first bit of (guitar) musical theory.<br />I'm excited!JAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272374108524693575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23686262.post-61204566481623698692012-11-29T13:02:13.614-05:002012-11-29T13:02:13.614-05:00My husband is trying to teach himself guitar and h...My husband is trying to teach himself guitar and how to read music at the same time. I've suggested a teacher, but he wants to know something before he starts.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502895616873273470noreply@blogger.com
