creativeguitarstudio asked:
The response from Andrew Wasson , of Creative Guitar Studio, to: “Can you do a video lesson that explains how to read music notation (not tab) on the guitar? There are so many of the exact same notes on the neck that I cant understand how the process of where the notes should be played specifically actually works when a guitarist reads music notation. Thanks, Vincent, NY. Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio covers the process of how guitarists can learn how to organize the music notes from a song onto the guitar fretboard in a logical manner using a system.

5 fingers – 5 frets – high 5! Before I watched your video I too had been playing for decades always relying on tab or playing by ear. Now I am going to learn to sight read and be set free to play anything I like. I never would have figured out the association of low and high notes on the staff with the concept of blocks of 5 frets. It was a real ah ha moment. Also appreciate the info on locating sharps and flats, cheers

@ilke10 I totaly understand you then, but believe me, knowing your music all around will ALWAYS be so HELPUL. Even for grunge.
I rocked in Spain with a well known band for years thinking just like you did until I had to give in. Knowing your shit will set you free to rock, grunge, punk, or whaterver you wan to play and/or sing.
I came to this conclusion after 20 yrs of playing. If I had only listened to my dad on day one…
Good luck with your band, enjoy either way.

@xIPiXeL That means you were not ready for this ¨lesson¨. What he´s saying is sooo simple… once you pass the beginning beginners level.

@ilke10 It all depends on how good you want to get. You decided to stay mediocre.

To the people who say they don’t understand this, learn actual standard notation first.

Awesome!!! That just answered a question I’ve had for ages!!! The answer is you have flexibility as to which note you choose, unlike piano where there is literally no flexibility in that area. Guitar is so subtle and so much less rigid. Rock on!
