How to read guitar music?
Julie D asked:
I recently started playing around on guitar and would like to start learning. I looked up and saw how you can read guitar tabs as music, but if i were to join my schools PIT next year playing guitar, what would the music be shown as, regular music (ex music for piano and clairnet) or tabs? How is guitar music shown?

Each line represents a string and the number represents the fret that you put your finger on….

If you were to join your schools pit orchestra, you will have to learn real notation (tab is just a lazy way for guitarists to learn songs, really).
It will most likely be shown as chords (ex: C m7/b5 or C maj7 or C sus4) over a staff and maybe some single note lines.
The designated rhythm that you’re supposed to play might be written out in diagonal lines in order for you to accent certain beats. Or you may just have to make up your own rhythm.
You will need to learn some basic chord shapes (major, minor, major 7, dominant 7, minor 7, major 9, major 6, half diminished, diminished, sus).
You’ll also need to learn how to distinguish different keys based upon how many flats or sharps are written in the first bar of the piece.
