I want to be able transform western music notation (Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si) to what I called anglo saxon notation (A B C D E F G ), it gets confusing when learning music from other parts of the world. What is your take in this regard should I stick with anglo saxon notation mainly ?.

Hope this questions does no look awkward to experienced guys in this forum. Which system/notation are most music players are familiar with ?

Thanks in advanced and Happy Holidays !

Also, Your "do re mi..." is called solfege. It's not western musical notation.

The solfege syllables "Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si" can refer to a movable system or a fixed system.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solfege

Most people regard it as movable. The practical result of this is that it is synonymous with the major scale.

The solfege lines up with any & all major scales.

Do (root)
Re (2nd)
Mi (major 3rd)
Fa (4th)
So (5th)
La (major 6th)
Si or Ti (major 7th)

So, if C is the root note, then it is a C major scale.

C - Do (root)
D - Re (2nd)
E - Mi (major 3rd)
F - Fa (4th)
G - So (5th)
A - La (major 6th)
B - Si or Ti (major 7th)

But, if D is the root note, then it is a D major scale.

D - Do (root)
E - Re (2nd)
F# - Mi (major 3rd)
G - Fa (4th)
A - So (5th)
B - La (major 6th)
C# - Si or Ti (major 7th)
[QUOTE=madricucho]Which system/notation are most music players are familiar with ?

Solfege is very useful for learning to sing & sight-sing. But it is not a practical way of learning music notation. If you go to the Guitar Fundamentals courses, then I show you how to locate the musical alphabet notes on the guitar (GF1 Chapter4) & later on how to read music notation (GF2 Chapter 4).

Ask more as necessary. Happy holidays to you, also!

Hi everybody and thanks for your help in my musical discovery :rolleyes: .

Christ many thanks for your detail explanation as you pointed out Solfege (Solfeo in spanish) would not be used as musical alphabet in my lessons at guitar. So I will dive into GF2 to learn from A B C D E F G instead, I sure now if I ever get to jam with other players this will be a common language to use, it gets tricky but I will conquer it !.
