So for the next few weeks I have stopped writting my stuff in tab and now im writting it in standard music notation..well Im have a hard time figuring out how to right out the beat...Finding the notes is easy but I guess you could say timing or somthing is a little hard...Any website or personal advice is much appreciated

Try playing what you've written slowly and couting aloud as you play it. This'll help you find where the note your playing falls, which beat, on or off the beat, etc.

if found...and still do find timing in the standard latin notation really confusing. But, it's really simple once you get your head round it. A lot of songs use 4/4 timing...simple as hell just count 1-2-3-4.
Older Classical music such as waltzes use 3/4 timing, however PeepHole by System of a down is also written in 3/4 lol.
2/4 you can think of as merely a faster version of 4/4.

any Latin timing Notation can be worked out simple. The first number(top number) is the number of beats in a bar, and the bottom number(last number) is the number of bars in a standard Chorum...which is just a posh name for a line of sheet music.

However the 'Sihluetto' bit in bohemian rhapsody is timed at 7/8...how the hell do you work that one out lol

the 4/4 timing isnt the problem but the rythm of it...like dotted rythms ect and all of the weird complicated ones

playing around with power tab can help out. it's good because you can listen to what you've just wrote and make adjustments to what type of note it is (eigth, sixteenth, whole, etc...) to make the rythm of it right. Plus you write it out in tab and it automatically writes it in standard notation.
