Read Sheet Music in 7 MINUTES! (guitar)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2024
- Reading sheet music is often one of the biggest challenges beginner guitarists, and advanced guitarists, face when learning. Or they just skip it all together.
This video makes reading sheet music simple. It's approached as a guitarist for guitarists, but is applicable for all musicians using a treble clef. It's a fun, simple, animated approach that will make you able to read sheet music comfortably in just 7 minutes. What else can you do in 7 minutes? Shower? I think I'll pass.
I'd recommend this to guitar players of all levels, from absolutely beginners to the greatest legends, specifically Paul McCartney. Who appears in this video. Thanks Paul. Or anyone who's interested in music theory.
This lesson focuses on the how standard notation accompanies guitar tab, rhythm, melody, practice tips and more!
Thanks to Matt Colbo for helping getting Paul onboard for this one:

Read Sheet Music in 7 MINUTES! (guitar): • Read Sheet Music in 7 ...
Thanks to Paul McCartney for being in this one.
Here's his channel: www.UA-cam.com/mattcolbo
idk who he is but thanks for letting me play him!!
@@MattColbo Haha funny joke. Wait, you're joking aren't you?
@@ethansmith6008 he's the one who wrote wonderwall i've heard
@@MattColbo huh, always thought Mark Knopfler wrote that song.
I really hope that one day paul McCartney actually ends up seeing this somehow
Holy shit I can't believe he got Paul McCartney in this this is so epic
Blue stop signs
@@simplistic._.muffin yes
"Oh, right, I love that song"
"Ya" lmao
No silly that's swaggersouls
Here’s how some of the famous musicians who didn't read music managed to record their music, transcribe it, or express it to others through alternative means:
Jimi Hendrix - Hendrix mainly learned and composed music by ear and through improvisation. He would often play by memory or jam with other musicians to develop his songs.
Eric Clapton - Clapton, like many blues musicians, primarily used his ear to learn music and developed songs through playing rather than writing them down. He communicated his ideas to other musicians through playing and demonstrating directly with his guitar.
Paul McCartney - McCartney often used a combination of memory and simple demo recordings to compose and share his music with other Beatles members. He would also work out arrangements together with the band as they practiced.
Elvis Presley - Presley did not play instruments proficiently but had a keen ear for music. He would choose songs (often covers) and work closely with his band and producers to arrange them, using recordings and live rehearsals to refine the sound.
Michael Jackson - Jackson used a variety of methods to compose, including singing and beatboxing parts into a tape recorder. He would describe or perform melodic and rhythmic ideas to his collaborators to transcribe and arrange.
Eddie Van Halen - Van Halen composed mostly by improvisation and experimentation with his guitar. He would record demos and then work with his band to develop these into full tracks.
Stevie Wonder - Wonder, who uses Braille music notation, also records ideas using a variety of electronic instruments and synthesizers, layering tracks to compose his music.
Bob Dylan - Dylan composed his songs primarily through writing lyrics and working out melodies on his guitar or piano, often recording rough versions on tape or directly working them out in the studio with his band.
David Bowie - Bowie often wrote lyrics and worked on basic melodies using a piano or guitar. He would record demos and then collaborate with musicians to arrange and refine the songs, using his vocal melodies and lyrics as the guiding elements.
Robert Johnson - Johnson, largely a solo performer, did not have to transcribe or formally write down his music. He memorized his compositions and played them live, with his recordings in the studio capturing his solo performances directly.
who else just realized that the other guy has a mustache not a confused smile
hahaha only because you pointed it out :') I thought the confused face was appropriate though
A wise man once said: " *Only a stickman can understand another stickman better than anyone* "
Wow lmao i didn't notice
I thought it was a weird smile lol
You are the chosen one😎
You have surpassed the teachings of my music teacher
take that, music teacher
@@RedlightBluenot mine yet sorry
@DJ UA-camr TMJ so sheet music for the guitar (since the guitar is in the treble clef) can be applied to any instrument in the treble clef. (e.g. saxophone, flute, piccolo and so on) Piano is a little different as it has Treble and Bass clef. Treble is for higher pitched notes and Bass for lower pitched notes. :) hope this helps, sorry for it being 3 months late lol.
Yoooo 🙌 (love saiki k too)
That couch actually looks really comfy also thanks for letting me be that guy who was featured on that Kanye and Rihanna song :)
wait that was you?
Did you know that apparently that rihanna and kanye guy was in this "Beatle" band on the side. He used to do that on the side yknow

"If you cannot explain something in simple language, then you do not actually understand it" said Albert Einstein. Lucky for us, we found the only UA-camr who evidently understands music theory. Great stuff bro.👍🏼
I guess he really didn't understand that whole "general relativity" thing, huh?
Right after he said "guys guys...let's take a rest" I got an add💀

What is even funnier is that a got an ad for a goodnight stories app.

Man the production value of these videos just keeps going up I mean he’s got the real Paul McCartney
When I was a kid, my parents put me in piano, and I even competed and did recitals. I had no idea how to read music- my teacher didn't even teach me. She just got excited that I could copy what she's doing. This video taught me more about reading music than anyone ever has - particularly my music teachers LOL.
Me too lmao
Despite playing the piano for 8 years, I still sight read about as well as stevie wonder

What would he say if he ever saw this 😔
Simply guitar: exists
This guy: I’m about to ruin this whole mans career
Wow... I've never had so much fun watching a music theory video. Awesome work!
I am a failed animator and now as a failed musician, this scratches me right where I itch.
do u use stick nodes
U never failed you just gave up

Wow, how did you get the real Paul McCartney in your video?

@@RedlightBlue I knew it

Thank you for joining us on this fudge filled journey Mr. McCartney
Meanwhile me:
Ah, guitar sound good when I touch it this way, let me touch it this way some more
i can learn music while getting entertained at the same time, lol i love it
Low key, I’m so glad I took choir before I started playing instruments. It has help with reading sheets super easy. and not to mention, this video also helped me learn how to read sheets , thanks
Damn I just jumped straight to instruments
I hate to say this since he passed away recently, but i just learned more from you then i did from 6 years of guitar lessons with a pro.
“Well there are always other songs” surprisingly spoke to me VERY hard! Gotta break down the simple stuff before getting into the complex stuff :)
just started playing guitar at 34 and your videos have made everything so much more understandable. You're the Sam O'Nella of guitar. Easiest sub of my life.
1 thing that's incorrect is that when you stick an accidental sharp then all the rest of those notes will be sharp for that bar, not just that 1 note
Yeah, the only thing it does i think is just to indicate wich key it is in. Check out the circle of fifts if you don't understand. Forexample of there was one sharp, the key would be in g major or e minor, and if there where two sharps the key would be in d major or b minor. Also i could be very wrong, (i am a guitarist and cant read sheet music) but I still have learned music theory so i know the one with sharps and flats noted by the start of a sheet music thing
@@adamtechow3260 - He's talking about the accidental, not the key signature.
@redlightblue, great video ... makes learning fun! Just a few things if you don't mind me elaborating on. The location of the low E at 4:20 is place incorrectly. For those who don't know, and who may skip around the video, it should be on the bottom line (shown at 4:33). Where it's currently placed is on the space for D above Middle C (shown at 5:04). Also, when looking at a key signature (sharps & flats) it's not just the notes that fall on/in the particular line/space with the sharp or flat notation, but all the notes on the page that match the line/space. So, if you have the G Maj signature (one sharp on the "F" line), you would play all F's as a sharp, which includes the first space at the bottom of the staff ("F"ACE) or anywhere else an F is noted (unless notated with a "natural" icon (♮)). When a natural, sharp, or flat is notated next to one note on the staff, they're called "accidentals". Okay, I'm done. (:
2:00 „you’ll find that the information very useful“
Honestly learning more from your animated guitar lessons than a year of studying Higher Music
Too bad it's wrong
@@dgpinhighclub4179 too bad you're wrong because there's only like 1 nlmistake
@@doinyamaam3677 could you please tell where’s the mistake? 😰
Agree
@@maliatale i see at 4:20 e is written wrong way
Typo at 4:20 going backwards from G, it has G on the line then F in the space below it and then the E is supposed to me on the line but it's under the line in Ds position, FYI for those just learning this could be very confusing. Also at 5:55 it says everything on the F line is sharp, but that's not true. Every F in the music is sharp not just on that one line aka that one octave!
Nice
That was a cool elephant
I have been struggling to remember what each number on a time signature equal all year, and you just explained it so easily to me that I understood it. Thank you so much!
The only thing I understood is that Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. Well, it's better than nothing.
Same
Same and BeCause Everything’s Fudge
HemiSemiDemi
Very nice. Only two things I'd make more clear is that sharps and flats are a half step above and below the note, which makes it easier to understand why E# becomes a natural F, B# is natural C, F flat is natural E and C flat is natural B. That and when sharps and flats are part of the signature, it applies to all cases of that letter, not just that one particular note (e.g. on your final example, people may misinterpret that only the Fudge F will be sharp but not the Face F when it applies to both)
Love the Paul McCartney impression.
"oh yeh i love that one"
"ok."
*You are the first one who I found who makes guitar learning interesting and engaging! For the first time, I felt like I can actually become good at guitar and make it fun and not like a chore!!!*
I had to subscribe :)
This is an amazing video! I really appreciate you going from the very basics! This was such a great intro to reading music, and it will really help me along the way! With some other videos I feel like they have a hard time going back and explaining basics - even when they’re supposed to be explaining basics. You’re a great teacher!
bro taught me more than years of school
More legend than Paul is the guy teaching this video.
Genius !! I have always struggled reading music sheets but not anymore🙏
I've done guitar lessons for a year now and you just examined something in 7 minutes, my teacher couldn't in 1 year.
This was so helpful, thank you so much. There was a lot of satisfaction when I got correct all the notes on the little practice at the end 😊
All the effort put into the videos is literally amazing
Great video! You gave us all the info we need in a fun way. And you crack a joke when things get confusing, and it ties into what you talk about next! Great work!
I'm glad I found this channel, as a guitars it's fun to look at the basics the way you teach it xd keep it up!
I’ve learned so much more here than I did in music class. Wow. I’m definitely applying this! Thanks for the funny and very easy way of explaining this!
Bro is a ligit w. I literally went from stressing to calming down and reading all because of what you explained
Flute player learning guitar, so I know how to read music but thought just in case something is different for guitars I’d watch this, great video!
I took band this year and I play guitar but I haven’t had any classes on it yet so I’m way behind everyone in my class, this helped!
Your videos are seriously so helpful, I really appreciate you
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. It was extremely helpful.
Please do more videos with Matt! This is fantastic! Came from his channel and subscribed.
i learned more with this video than what i had ever learned in my whole piano lessons month
Thanks for the videos! I'm in the process of learning to read sheet music for guitar now, and the BC EF and G reminders are really good ways to remember how it all works!
This covered almost the entirety of the stuff my music class went over, but explained way better
I wanna cry, I needed this
Don’t cry pls
Do you still want to cry
Too bad it's wrong
I love this series. And the animation is 🔥🔥
“BeCause Everything’s Fudge” such a moving statement,made me shed a tear
Thank you so much I’ve been taking guitar classes and been having a lot of trouble because I didn’t know how to read notes but this will help me a lot!
Petition to get Paul McCartney in more videos
betting getting back into playing guitar and this really simplified the note sheets for me, thanks man
I played in band for 5 years in school and learned more in this video in 5 min than the full 5 years. I played clarinet tuba baritone. Where were you when I needed you lol.
OMG you don't know how much this video help me 😫😫 I've been looking everywhere for some beginners help with reading sheet music for my saxophone. Thank you so much
Loved every minute of this.
My fav music youtuber, thanks a lot!
anytime
I started out playing violin in elementary school but dropped it after like 7 years because being in the school orchestra was boring and I sucked. I knew how to read sheet music, I could even sight read; but once I decided to pick up the guitar years later, I pretty much forgot everything about reading music. I never thought I could forget so much. This video re-taught me everything I thought I knew (but didn't)
even if someone isn't a guitarist this is pretty entertaining to watch
Me being mostly a guitar intermediate still watching things like this
This video makes me feel more enlightened
You basically teach the basic of musical theory in minus than 10 minutes. Thats really good!
;)
You have done in 8 minutes what my music teacher hasnt done in 10 classes. Thx dude
This guy makes learning fun
I've discovered I learn best in meme format. Thank you 🙏
I'm late to this video but as someone that just started teaching himself as a complete beginner a couple days ago as a 27 year old with no one around me that knows how to play guitar to teach me. But I always wanted to learn guitar but never had one available to me until I bought one spontanously :)
Your videos make it actually fun to learn all this stuff. It's not too serious and it gives really helpful and easy to remember infos, like "because everything's f'd", "Every good boy deserves fudge" and "face".
I always looked at sheet music every though I had no idea what I was looking at or how to even approach it. Now that I started learning, I think it's best to learn as early as possible, because eventually I have to or I will be like Paul :P
But with your help with these videos it makes total sense to understand this now. I'll definitely come back to this video again to keep learning and really have it in my head :)
SUPER helpful and entertaining compared to SO many other videos I had to go through to get all this info - Thank You!
6:16 sticking a sharp on the first F actually makes all three notes F# because sharps and flats carry on through the whole measure unless otherwise noted 😀
The funny thing is in eastern Europe we do have an H note, which is actually what in Western theory is a B, and the Bb we call B. Great video btw!
Thats also the case in Germany
I'm learning guitar for 5months thanks for dis!
I have just discovered your channel and videos and they're both helpful and entertaining. This is the perfect way for me to learn... Please keep putting out videos
Excellent video! Nice one!
You’re my favourite channel
@@RedlightBlue Wow! Thank you. I just discovered your videos yesterday and they are really great! Nice work!
Haha I was actually rewatching a bunch of your’s yesterday… UA-cam knows
@@RedlightBlue all hail the algorithm!
Wow is that a new song I heard at the end?!?
“Oh yes of course”
Makes me smile every time
There's so much info crammed into this video, and it is beginning to make sense to me, so thanks guys. No doubt I'll need to keep popping back until I get the hang of things.
its harder than my math exam
Hi elephant in the room 👋
You are amazing, thanks for breaking all this down for us
that closing song is a straight Banger
I’m happy I can buy pasta and learn sheet music at the same time. Thank you
That’s the intended combo
yea no ill stick to tabs
Give it 7 mins
hi i just wanna say thank you so much for these videos, i love them so much. they are so funny and actually really helpful so yeah. thank you!!
I spent a year learning Music theory in band and this summed it up and seven minutes.
Hi
hi
hi
Hi dejan
I think ill stick to tabs
Brother, I SOO LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! Not only are they very informative but they also put a smile and get many laughs…at least from me!! Like a Beavis n Butthead guitar course!! As I’m 60 years old I truly don’t watch B & B but remembering my son watching it…it really gives me a chuckle!!!
Creative! Even made me chuckle. Had to play it twice.
3:05 LMAOOO his face 😂😂
*y'know*
uh yeah
you make it really interesting, thanks
rhythm make you move, melody make you think.
this guy is a saint
Bro what happened to the tier list videos? Those were my favourites. I uploaded a clip just for that hoping to be featured.
Greetings from Germany
It will be back one day
@@RedlightBlue nice dude, looking forward to it
