Help!!Reading Piano Piece (in staff) to be played on guitar
Guys!!! May I ask on how to read piano piece (in staff form) in guitar. It is hard for me to distiguish the middle notes unlike the piano... I am having hard time here...
# 1
I'm not sure what you're asking...do you know how to read sheet music? Or are you saying you don't know where the notes are on the guitar?
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

If thats the term for that, well, exactly! I don't know how to place the proper notes in a guitar. For example in a staff there is DO indicated, I don't know where to locate it. Because in piano, there is what they call middle C or Middle DO. How about in guitar?

The middle C on a guitar is on the third fret of the A string, in standard tuning.
Take a look at that, and you should be able to get an idea of it. I can't really think of good words to explain it, because I'm tired, but if you look at picture you'll be able to see where all the notes are, and knowing where middle C is you should be able to figure it out on your own. If not I'll give it another go, or somebody else will. Good luck.

No problem man, be sure to let us know if you need any more help or have some follow up questions or whatever. It's not that I don't know what you mean it's just that it's hard for me to explain at the moment.

In a piano, the middle C is obviously in the middle then the other middle notes after the C [D, E, F, etc..] are linear right after each note and you can play it smoothly by just following the notes in the staff while in the guitar, we cannot play it in just one string. There are other strings and frets that could also be sounded as middle notes more than once in each string unlike the piano, middle notes are only placed in one location.
Example: The 3rd fret of A in a guitar is also the same sound as the 8th fret of open E string as well as the other notes indicated in the fretboard. While in the Piano, The middle C is just in one location. The other C will be higher or maybe lower C.
Got my point? Now that is why I am having a hard time figuring out the proper notes in a staff for a guitar...
Thanks for your time....

Yes, I get your point. Well maybe it will help you to know that if you go up two strings and two frets, that's one octave. For example, the fifth fret on the G string is an octave up from the third on the A string. So that would be your high C.

I mean, its quite possible, it just takes longer than say, guitar tab.
I'd suggest learning tab, man. it'll make your life easier.

I can too. It's just that when it comes to note clusters of three or more, I have to stop and figure out each individual note.
# 14
Guys I just want to make a different move from playing... reading music sheet is quite interesting... but it is hard to apply inverted chords from the music sheet, which is the staff, to be played on guitar. Piano! Piano! Piano!! Why not in guitar? hahahaha!!!! :p

Well, I can. Bit slow sometimes, but I can do it.
ferreydumaua, glad you got it all worked out buddy. It's tricky sometimes, but practice and you'll be pro in no time. :)
