www.andrewwasson.com AndrewWasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers questions from off of his Guitar Blog website… Q). Mr. Andrew, can you possibly explain (in your own opinion) why Music Reading is so difficult to do on the guitar? Antonio – Poland. A). In my opinion there are two reasons why Music Reading is so problematic. #1). It quite often involves the use of tablature & chord diagrams which tend to be included along with each line of notation. #2). Involves the overall inconsistency of how guitar music is often notated. With the use of tab & chord diagrams, the issue here isn’t really about comparing advantages, it’s more about the fact that these devices do not help reading they actually do the opposite, they hinder the process. In my experience, if tab and chords are given students simply rely on them instead of the notation. So, while the tab & chord devices obviously speed up the process of learning the piece, they’re a detriment to learning sight-reading. The other problem of notation inconsistency is one that would have to be solved through the co-operation of; music editors, arrangers & composers. One of my own pet-peeves here lies with string indications! Many publishers will use numbers in circles, but some will use letters. Other publishers have gone on to create their own fingering & position designations. Other copyists have next to no position markers or fingerings. Doing this in my opinion only confuses players more. And, it creates a terribly …

hi andrew, I tried once to learn sight reading for guitar but gave up in the end. The reason was that i couldn’t figure out what string each note was on, so i could only play in the first position (i think thats what it’s called) right next to the nut. Have you done a video about “positions”, it’s something one of my friends who plays guitar talked about. is this the way to learn to sight read or am i completly off the track?
Thanks.

I don’t use them in my studio, but they are good products. I’m just not a big one for tweaking with my sound post-recording with software. Some guys do a nice job of that though… I prefer my tone recorded with a nice mic, from a good amp in “near to” the exact way I want it to sound in the end.
Thanks for watching,

Andrew, what do you think of software like Amplitube and Guitar Rig for getting different amp tones?

@Renegade222,
Hello, Yes I wrote that short clip when YouTube started getting hyper-vigilant about the whole originality aspect of partner’s videos. They were going through the Viacom lawsuit at the time, so I guess they wanted to clean house. Anyway, it is an original.
Thanks for watching,
