I think i heard somewhere that "Tommy lee" the drummer for Motley Crue,didn't know how to read music. So i was just wondering if their are any Famous Music Stars that dont know how to read music or understand stuff like arpeggios,scales,etc??

Barefoot&Pregnant asked:


I play guitar a little, I can read tab. I want to learn how to read music and about music theory. Im totally lost and dont understand a thing. Is there any resource you would recommend to me? a website or book? I would like to know the basics first of course, then start learning more and more advanced stuff. Thanks to you all!

Oh and one more question. Is it necessary to know the theory to read music? Or is that the same thing?

Alex asked:


how much can i improve my guitar playing if i practice 6 hrs a day for the next 2 months??
i started playing electric guitar 5-6 months ago. right now i practice about 2 hrs a day every day. ive been told im improving very fast. within 3 months i could play the first half to sweet child of mine by guns n roses as well as wish you were here (pink floyd), knights of cydonia (muse) (solo included, but this is the only solo i know how to play), stairway to heaven intro, and a few other easier songs. my finger strength and dexterity is aslo very good so far. i do various finger exercises especially for my pinky. the only thing i really need to improve alot on is reading music and stuff anyway my question is i want to know how much i could learn/improve if i practice 6 hrs a day for thhe next 2 months??? enough to solo maybe?? i only ask b/c i will be starting college in 2 months and i know once i start school, i wont have nearly as much time to practice. so i want to learn as much as i can now while i still have alot of time to practice

SidewalkerTexasRanger asked:


i read somewhere that every member in radiohead except thom yorke can read music and the guitarist jonny greenwood writes film scores and stuff. i was self taught in reading music and playing cello/bass but i recently started playing piano about a year ago. the teacher usually plays the song and lets me listen to it before i play it and most of the problem i have is read rhythm. so do you think over time i can write down the songs that i make?
