Yahoo Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Is there something to keyboard sheet music that beginners can understand, like tabliture for guitarists?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Zeronyne developed a wonderfully simple and effective notation. Hopefully he'll visit this thread and show it to you. To tell you the truth, reading standard notation is the easiest way to learn to play keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he'll visit this thread and show it to you. Heh, you mean THIS THREAD? Seriously, guitar tab is popular because there are so many places one can play the same note on a guitar. On a keyboard, the keyboard itself IS the tab. The only way it could be easier (in the short term) is to use one of those paper templates that show you the note names right above each key. But things like that will cripple you in the long run. It's not hard to memorize both clefs, and the lifetime benefit is immeasurable. "For instance" is not proof.

Dave Horne Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Learn to read conventional notation and you'll thank us for it later. There are only five lines (and four spaces) in the treble clef and five lines (and four spaces) in the bass clef. (If you were to create a sixth line above the bass clef, the treble clef would merely be a continuation and you would have one, really big clef to read from. People used to read 11 lines a long time ago and the process has been a bit simplified just for you. Don't give up, it's really not that difficult - you've got the alphabet memorized and that's 26 letters, right? This is just a handful of lines and spaces. It gets easier, trust me.) No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message. In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments.

Yahoo Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 What is that image with the hands and all the numbers about? I read a few follow-up but didn't understand what was so funny. Is it just the fact that having the keys as #s would be so hard to follow?? Anyway, maybe I will learn a little bit of keyboard notation to be able to get chords and things right from songs I want to learn. Basic guitar notation was quite easy to learn and I was quite the sax player with note letters written in on the sheet music in 5th grade. I was hoping for some web page that I could pump sheet music into and get easy-to-play graphics from Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
