Guitar lesson: Learn To Read Sheet Music
asked:
A guitar is a fantastic instrument to play. It is easy to play and very difficult depending on what you play. Let's take a look at learning to play guitar sheet music!
I have found in my teaching experiences that many pupils find reading sheet music on guitar to be very difficult.
Admittedly there are a lot of factors that make reading guitar sheet music notation more of a challenge than on other instruments in certain aspects.
However, the most important factor is in my opinion that many guitarists never decide to learn to find the notes on the guitar. Instead they cultivate the habit of listening, playing and calculating where the specific note probably is to be played on the guitar.
Such a strategy is too slow to make it possible to sight read sheet music on guitar. A wish and then a decision to really start learning the notes on the guitar is much better than to use the before mentioned method to find the notes.
You have to start from where you are if you want to progress and become a good sight reader on guitar.

What are the chords on a piano? How do you play them? How do you read them? HOW DO YOU READ MUSIC?
Pride asked:
Can somebody help me with the piano? I've been trying and trying. All I need to know is the chords and what notes play them and how to read them and how to read and play music. If anybody can help, I'll be greatly satisfied with you. Thank you.
Maybe I didn't phrase my question right. What I meant is I know that you play the chords with your left hand but what are the names of the keys and chords? Like the G7 chord is C,E,G.

NYG2983 asked:
Ive been playing music on my own for the past 3 years. I can read sheet music, but i cant sight read well. I play piano and some guitar. I picked up the trumpet for a short amount of time. I liked playing it, but I wanted to learn how to play very well under like 2 months. I learned pretty fast and I was decent at it, but when it got time for me to go to school I found I wasnt able to play in any group during the year ethier in school or in the community, and i couldnt afford to keep paying renting. I know if I have tim/means I can learn to play an instrument well. i am a very self-taught person. I know I need help however when it comes to sheet music etc. Anyway, I really want to play music in college. Im a junior, I have 3 months till its up, than senior year, two years community college, and hopefully a university after that. I have never been in marching band, but id like to be. Do you think by three or so years I could make it to have a minor in music/play in band at a university?
