The guitar is somewhat different than many other instruments. Because of its history and connection with styles of music that evolved through an oral (rather than written) tradition, reading sheet music in standard notation is not as traditionally established in the methods used for learning and teaching the instrument.

Learning to play jazz

Being able to read a jazz chart (or lead sheet) is an important part of playing jazz, even as a non-professional. A lead sheet is a chart that outlines the basic chord progression and melody of a song. The chords are written using chord symbols, while the melody is written on a staff in music notation underneath the chords.

Classical Guitar

Classical music in general has always been a style of music with a written tradition. While many other styles of music today evolved from oral traditions (more about this below), classical music was always learned and passed along by way of notes written on paper.

Classical guitar music is no exception, and as a result today there are many transcriptions of classical guitar music that can only be found in standard notation. There are some collections out there that are in tab format, but they are in the minority. In order for a classical guitarist at any level to have access to most of the music out there, they have to know how to read standard notation.

These are all styles of music that initially evolved from blues and traditional folk music. The people who originally played and passed along these styles of music usually did so though an oral tradition. They would jam and play with each other and, along the way, learn new songs and other aspects of the style first hand from their peers. Families and friends would play music together as a leisure activity. People new to their respective instruments would learn new songs and gain greater insight on how to play through these informal gatherings.

At higher levels, people who played professionally would also socialize and jam with one another, and spread knowledge that way. More often than not, people playing in a more professional group would come into that group already having a repertoire of the standard songs in the style that they played. Any other songs would be learned first-hand from other people in the group.

For this article I spoke with Bill Brown, whose materials are also available for purchase at GuitarByEar.com and PianoByEar.biz He told me how his own music teacher had refused to use musical notation, insisting students learned better when they learned to play by ear.

That said, I personally have found a lot of useful materials on YouTube. A few of the best channels I have found include Justin Guitar and Marty Music. Some YouTube guitar instructors use the platform to advertise their free or paid course work or their remote lessons. Most of the initial freebees I sampled were pretty much inaccessible.

Locate a .GP file online and download it either to your Android device or to Google Drive. The Guitar Pro website is an excellent place to start. You can also use Google to search for the song's name and "GP3."

The app displays four directional navigation buttons. The Left and Right buttons move focus one note or chord at a time through the measure. The Up and Down buttons advance the display forward and backward to the next and previous measure.

At any time you can instruct the app to sound the individual measure. You can also adjust the length of the measure of music that is displayed and played in increments from a single bar to the entire work.
