Q. I have a lot of music books with piano music that does not have guitar chords on them. What I want is to transpose the notes into guitar chords. I can figure out most of them, but some are very hard to do with all the sharps and flats involved.
A. What you should do is study the structure of the cords. The staff is the same for guitar as it is for piano. Learn the notes 100% on your fretboard. The key is rememberingthat the same note appears more than once on a guitar. ( example...6th string 5th fret is the same as 5th string open). study the fretboard to find the least complicated fingerings.
Will having a background in guitar help with piano?
Q. I want to learn piano and I was wondering: Will having a background in guitar help with learning?
A. You'll know how to read music, how different notes sound, the counting and other basic technique. You would also probably know what notes the chords and scales are (unless you only memorize the frets). Once you learn fingerings and where the notes are on the piano, you should playing better than someone who doesn't know guitar. There is a different way of playing and you have to get used to it. But, I say that it will help. But learn to play what you want to play first.
Is it possible for a person to become a musician without knowing how to read notes?
Q. I have this friend who loves to play the piano and she knows how to play well, but she absolutly refuses to learn notes and she makes up all her own songs (which actually sound quite difficult). Are there actually accomplished musicians who don't know how to read notes? I was just curious.
A. Yes, there are many accomplished musicians that play by ear. Meaning they have "an ear for music" and can sit at a piano and literally pick out the song they are listening to or from memory. On a guitar that process is a little more difficult because the guitar has definite fingerings that have to be followed in order to make chords. Recently on AI, I believe it was Brooke, played the piano by ear, she doesn't read music, and I heard her play songs that she learned on her own without knowing how to read the chart. It definitely requires great talent to do that.
