How do you read guitar sheet music?

I know how to read tabs, I know how to read chords, and I know how to read rhythms, so don't tell me how to do those like in similar questions. What I what to know is how to read music for guitar that is just single notes that doesn't have tabulature. Direct me to a website or something good.How do you read guitar sheet music?
music is music... whether it's for guitar or for piano. The staff is made up of five lines and four spaces. They are read as follows:


------------ F


E


------------ D


C


------------ B


A


------------ G


F


------------ E





The lines are E G B D F... some use the line ';Every Good Boy Does Fine'; to remember those notes... the spaces spell out ';FACE';... the C in ';FACE'; is what is called ';Middle C'; and works out to be the ';B'; string first fret. That gives you a starting point to figuing out how to read the notes.





Any lines or spaces above the staff, you just keep the progression going. Now a ';b'; next to a note means that it is a ';flat'; and a half step lower. A ';#'; is a ';sharp'; and means it's a half step higher.





I am assuming you know the notes on the guitar and what half steps and full steps mean.





Are you interested in knowing how to tell the key signatures, clefs and coda's and whatnot? Try this website... it's pretty good;

the note on the staff is a coard and i do not know any good webs or which ones they are but my guitar teacher said so. abd yes i do have a guitar teacher and i am in 7 grade
You have to learn how to read notes. Guitar notes are just like piano notes. If you want to learn how to read notes, you might have to get a teacher.
your eyes
ahaha i could never figure that stuff out.


you should just make up your own stuff or stick to chords %26amp; tabs.
This will take a lot longer than learning tablature.





Almost any guitar instruction book will teach you the notes as they are on the fretboard and the music scale. You have to learn the name of the notes on the frets and their corresponding note on the staff. Then you have to practice a lot to train your brain how to recognize the notes and instantly translate them to your fingers. That is called sight-reading, when you don't have to look at the fretboard.





I'd recommend going to your local library and seeing if they have any guitar instruction books. I'd be surprised if the instruction books didn't have notes on how to read music.





Good luck.
