Lesson Tag: music notation

Understanding and reading rhythms can sometimes be a daunting prospect, but there are a couple different illustrations that make everything clean and clear. In this video, we divide up a pie to show how time fits in each measure.

We now take the elevator up and start thinking about songs as songs, rather than thinking on the basic level of chord shapes, progressions, rhythms, measures, techniques, etc.
Our first main principle is that playing at the higher song level will be MUCH easier if all the appropriate reflexes and mechanics have been developed.

This lesson introduces a system of music notation called Tablature (or sometimes simply, “TAB”). This is a quick, effective means of reading and writing guitar music, and you can learn it fairly quickly. TAB will become a more prominent feature of your guitar journey from this point, forward.
