So would you put like 13, 18, 15, 27, 30? Sure, just count from the left-most key, and that's the number you press! Haha. Perhaps she might want some sheet music. That would be easier.

Tabs.... I'm trying to teach myself bass and honestly, I get so confused reading tabs. I'm used to sheet music reading and even after looking up what the numbers and dashes and everything means, it's still hard to make my brain make sense of it. I tried explaining to a friend who doesn't read music, only tabs, on how it was more difficult for me. He didn't get it. All that to say 1) funny how your foundation in music effects how your brain interprets things and 2) great request if anyone can do it!

Tabs are a big waste of time, instead of trying to figure out tabs, try and figure out the song by ear. It'll benefit you sooo much in the long wrong.

(not toward the original poster, but just toward the concept of tabs in general) I like using tabs to help me learn how to play by ear. I'm still not good at it at all, though. But these days I usually just prefer to know chords, at least for guitar, and then figure it out from there. So I think tabs are useful for people who have no access to musical knowledge except for maybe the Internet. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I usually learn a song (on piano) by ear. step 1: pick out chords step 2: pick out melody line step 3: pick out random frilly things step 4: put them all together but on tricky songs like "Sanit Simon" by The Shins...I had to look up the chords. It was just too much for my brain. |

I think tabs are all right, the only real problem i have with them is that a lot of the times the parts people will have "figured out" sound the same but aren't the same parts that the actual writer of the song had played. For example (hypothetically) say someone plays, 9 on D in the actual song but during the tabbing process whoever is tabbing out the song plays it on the 14th fret on A or the 4th on G, it won't sound exactly the same because each string resonates a little differently, but that's just me being picky. On the other hand, I don't think you can really say to someone "just try and figure it out by ear", i mean, picking out root notes in a chord in order to be able to figure out the rest of the chord is something that you can't just do unless you've already been taught how, or just have an extremely good sense of pitch and notation naturally (which isn't the case for most people, you've heard how tone deaf crowds at concerts can be!). All in all I think tabs are a good thing for people just starting their instrument, but not something i think you should rely on as a musician for the entirety of your life. _________________ www.myspace.com/themachinegarden The Machine Garden like friends. |

I've been real lazy about that whole thing, but it's such a pain to type out the music because I couldn't do it on a piano. I think my new digital piano might have the proper functionality, but I haven't even tried it. Then, there's the fact that most Eisley songs aren't worth transcribing because you can barely hear the piano at all on the records. You are normally better off just playing chords on the piano on most songs. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |
