Before I lose this tune in my head ... can you ask Aaron if there are websites where I can download blank sheet music? I've looked and can't find anything.
HURRY! (But I know you're at church so you get some slack for the time being. I've written it down the best I can for now.)
Kathy, I'm so sorry, I just saw your message! I hope that Angela's suggestions worked for you!
Aaron does not write sheet music! He just "writes" the music on his guitar, if you know what I mean. He doesn't read music very well! Isn't that funny. I'm so sorry!
No, really, it's okay! I was able to print out some of those that Angela linked to, and can write it out tomorrow. Meanwhile, I have written a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 thing on my paper and have mapped out the tune that way.
Sheesh, it's a lot of trouble to be this inspired!
Melissa, what is it with guitar players anyway? My teacher doesn't read music well either - I'm way better at it than him. Of course, I have been reading music since I was 3, on at least 5 different instruments, so I guess I have a leg up. Can Aaron read tabulature, or does he play everything by ear?
I agree - Kathy should share her tune. It can become our Core Ladies theme song.
Angela, I have no idea what "tabulature" means, but if that is chords, he can do that. I'll have to ask him when I get home. He was a music minor in college, so he has a basic idea of reading music, but has just never really "practiced" what he learned I guess. He writes almost everything he plays, so he doesn't really need to read music I guess. He does get chord charts for choruses and things like that though. You can tell I have no idea what I am talking about. My music-reading goes as far as choir and piano lessons.
Tabulature is written kind of like music - there are six lines representing the six strings on a guitar. Then there are numbers on those lines, showing you when and on which fret to put your fingers. It's kind of like a map to where and when you put your fingers.
Anyway, I was just curious. I'm learning to read tabulature, and I'm finding it doesn't come very naturally to me.
Emergency question for Melissa
Can Aaron read tabulature, or does he play everything by ear?
