Learning to read sheet music is also extremely helpful when learning additional instruments since you won't have to learn a different way to read music with a new instrument -- you'll already be fluent in reading music from your first instrument.

I'm really slow when reading sheet music, . It's just so difficult to figure out which note is which string

[ClueLou]

I know how to read sheet music, but when it comes to reading about a guitar book, it's like reading hieroglyphics..

[christianleetrager]

First line = E (yeah, we get that), but never showed which E, where, on the guitar fingerboard!!!!

For instance, if you're a composer in a band, it's helpful to have a common musical language between your lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, bass guitarist, keyboardist and drummer. Sometimes you may want a violin or wind instruments in the mix too. That's a lot of different instruments that you'd need to know how to write music for if you want to compose a piece. Sheet music brings it all together into one language that is (or at least should be) universally understood.

i play guitar for almost 3 years and im pretty good,
and im in a special music class in school, but im hiding the fact that i cant read music even tough we kinda learned it for almost three years now!
i hope this video will set things straight...

[mifftyislive]

i already know how to read sheet music. I already know the names of the notes. I just wanna know which of the 10 billion different E's to put my finger on.

Now, I'm never going to say tabs are bad. I use them myself. If all you want to do is play some lead songs already written or maybe just have fun with your friends trying to harmonize something together, then tabs are really going to be all you need. However, if you want to get any kind of serious with your music, it's a really good idea to learn how to read and write in its common language, because even if you're not writing in sheet music, someone else may and expect you to know it.

this guy looks like he's going to throw up any second

you can play does notes wherever you want on the guitar but it has to be the same like for EXAMPLE: if it tells you to play the notes E, F, G you can play does notes in the E string so it will be: OPEN, 1 fret, and 3 fret. but you can play it in any string. like you can play the E on the A string. the F one the D string. and G on the G string. so it will be A string 7 fret. D string 3 fret. G string open. I hope this

[Life-Row-Toll]

How do you which range of F to play on the fretboard? Play F on 3rd fret of D string, or 1st fret on the low E string.

[RDdaNINJA]

But I dont know how to match the notes up on the guitar

[philipglaser]

You should probably get a book at the library that covers the basic information
about playing the guitar. It will show you where the F, A, C, E notes are on the guitar.
Once you start to try to learn the notes on the guitar, using flash cards is a good idea.
Some good flash cards are for sale on Amazon Books. But statt with a simple book about
learning guitar. Your library should have some good ones.

If you are looking for actual instruction in reading sheet music for guitar specifically, check out Fred Hamilton's book Melodic Studies & Composition for Guitar: A Reading Workout for the Serious Musician. Also check out Frederick M. Noad's book Solo Guitar Playing. Both start you off easy and help you get aquainted with reading for different areas of the neck.
