The response from Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio to; Was hoping that you could help me with the topic of Music Reading. I have absolutely no understanding of reading music. So, I will just go over what I have been researching so far… – Ive learned that music is read off of the Music Staff. – The staff is composed of 5 lines and 4 spaces. – The lines are named from the bottom going upwards; E, G, B, D, F. (mnemonic = Every Good Boy Does Fine) – The spaces are named again from bottom going up F, A, C, E (spelling the word FACE). – There are 5 note durations: Whole = 4 beats, Half = 2 beats, Quarter = 1 beat, Eighth = 1/2 a beat Sixteeth note… (but, I have no idea what it looks like or what it does). This is all I know. Ive heard that the lines on the staff represent strings on the guitar. If so, how come there are six strings on a guitar and five lines on the staff.? And, if the lines are the guitar strings, what do the spaces on the staff represent? I am having a very difficult time understanding this. I have been watching your videos and I am hoping that you could help me to understand all of this. – Shane Andrew discusses the principles of the music staff including; Clef sign, Key Signature sign, Time Signature symbol, Note layout, pitch relationship to the guitar, and fingerboard concepts involved in learning to read music notation on guitar.

Sight Reading Music
Excellent video. This will help alot of people.
I don’t mean to criticize, but I think that after explaining what the numbers of the time signature are, say that 4/4 means 4 quarter notes per measure. So if they encounter a different time signature they can just say it easily. eg 3/4 is 3 quarter notes, 12/8 is 12 eighth notes, etc.
Still, excellent lesson.
