Music Theory For Guitar

It's also good to read notes because if you've ever played the game where you whisper a secret to the person sitting next to you. By the time it goes around the circle the message has completely changed.

It's like that with music too. Unless you listen over and over to the original recording, it's very easy to accidentally change the original melody.

Music is written on a musical staff, which has 5 lines and 4 spaces. A staff sign determines what the pitches are. Guitar music uses a Treble Clef, called a G Clef. Beside the clef sign, you also need to understand time signatures, key signatures and the values of notes and rests.
