Here’s how some of the famous musicians who didn't read music managed to record their music, transcribe it, or express it to others through alternative means: Jimi Hendrix - Hendrix mainly learned and composed music by ear and through improvisation. He would often play by memory or jam with other musicians to develop his songs. Eric Clapton - Clapton, like many blues musicians, primarily used his ear to learn music and developed songs through playing rather than writing them down. He communicated his ideas to other musicians through playing and demonstrating directly with his guitar. Paul McCartney - McCartney often used a combination of memory and simple demo recordings to compose and share his music with other Beatles members. He would also work out arrangements together with the band as they practiced. Elvis Presley - Presley did not play instruments proficiently but had a keen ear for music. He would choose songs (often covers) and work closely with his band and producers to arrange them, using recordings and live rehearsals to refine the sound. Michael Jackson - Jackson used a variety of methods to compose, including singing and beatboxing parts into a tape recorder. He would describe or perform melodic and rhythmic ideas to his collaborators to transcribe and arrange. Eddie Van Halen - Van Halen composed mostly by improvisation and experimentation with his guitar. He would record demos and then work with his band to develop these into full tracks. Stevie Wonder - Wonder, who uses Braille music notation, also records ideas using a variety of electronic instruments and synthesizers, layering tracks to compose his music. Bob Dylan - Dylan composed his songs primarily through writing lyrics and working out melodies on his guitar or piano, often recording rough versions on tape or directly working them out in the studio with his band. David Bowie - Bowie often wrote lyrics and worked on basic melodies using a piano or guitar. He would record demos and then collaborate with musicians to arrange and refine the songs, using his vocal melodies and lyrics as the guiding elements. Robert Johnson - Johnson, largely a solo performer, did not have to transcribe or formally write down his music. He memorized his compositions and played them live, with his recordings in the studio capturing his solo performances directly.

@DJ KZbinr TMJ so sheet music for the guitar (since the guitar is in the treble clef) can be applied to any instrument in the treble clef. (e.g. saxophone, flute, piccolo and so on) Piano is a little different as it has Treble and Bass clef. Treble is for higher pitched notes and Bass for lower pitched notes. :) hope this helps, sorry for it being 3 months late lol.

just started playing guitar at 34 and your videos have made everything so much more understandable. You're the Sam O'Nella of guitar. Easiest sub of my life.

[@tapgeek79]

@redlightblue, great video ... makes learning fun! Just a few things if you don't mind me elaborating on. The location of the low E at 4:20 is place incorrectly. For those who don't know, and who may skip around the video, it should be on the bottom line (shown at 4:33). Where it's currently placed is on the space for D above Middle C (shown at 5:04). Also, when looking at a key signature (sharps & flats) it's not just the notes that fall on/in the particular line/space with the sharp or flat notation, but all the notes on the page that match the line/space. So, if you have the G Maj signature (one sharp on the "F" line), you would play all F's as a sharp, which includes the first space at the bottom of the staff ("F"ACE) or anywhere else an F is noted (unless notated with a "natural" icon (♮)). When a natural, sharp, or flat is notated next to one note on the staff, they're called "accidentals". Okay, I'm done. (:

[@Roxas13XIII]

Very nice. Only two things I'd make more clear is that sharps and flats are a half step above and below the note, which makes it easier to understand why E# becomes a natural F, B# is natural C, F flat is natural E and C flat is natural B. That and when sharps and flats are part of the signature, it applies to all cases of that letter, not just that one particular note (e.g. on your final example, people may misinterpret that only the Fudge F will be sharp but not the Face F when it applies to both)

[@sandmistbreeze]

[@jpant1000]

I'm gonna watch this every day until it fully clicks i've been playing by ear for years and just feeling it and creating songs but this video can really help me grasp theory in a sense and understanding the patterns and shapes a little better thank you so much for taking the time to explain this so perfectly without overcomplicating things

[@ia3739]

This was so helpful, thank you so much. There was a lot of satisfaction when I got correct all the notes on the little practice at the end 😊

[@oscarkl7483]

1 thing that's incorrect is that when you stick an accidental sharp then all the rest of those notes will be sharp for that bar, not just that 1 note

[@adamtechow3260]

Yeah, the only thing it does i think is just to indicate wich key it is in. Check out the circle of fifts if you don't understand. Forexample of there was one sharp, the key would be in g major or e minor, and if there where two sharps the key would be in d major or b minor. Also i could be very wrong, (i am a guitarist and cant read sheet music) but I still have learned music theory so i know the one with sharps and flats noted by the start of a sheet music thing

I'm late to this video but as someone that just started teaching himself as a complete beginner a couple days ago as a 27 year old with no one around me that knows how to play guitar to teach me. But I always wanted to learn guitar but never had one available to me until I bought one spontanously :) Your videos make it actually fun to learn all this stuff. It's not too serious and it gives really helpful and easy to remember infos, like "because everything's f'd", "Every good boy deserves fudge" and "face". I always looked at sheet music every though I had no idea what I was looking at or how to even approach it. Now that I started learning, I think it's best to learn as early as possible, because eventually I have to or I will be like Paul :P But with your help with these videos it makes total sense to understand this now. I'll definitely come back to this video again to keep learning and really have it in my head :)

as someone who learned how to read music before this video, this guy is 100% accurate. I learned it differently but i can argue that this way is a little bit easier than how i did it.

[@dgpinhighclub4179]

Typo at 4:20 going backwards from G, it has G on the line then F in the space below it and then the E is supposed to me on the line but it's under the line in Ds position, FYI for those just learning this could be very confusing. Also at 5:55 it says everything on the F line is sharp, but that's not true. Every F in the music is sharp not just on that one line aka that one octave!
