In order to fill in the gaps on the fretboard, sharps or flats are placed in front of the relevant note. The following example shows how the first five notes on the open top string, moving up one fret at a time, would be written, first with sharps then with flats. In the third bar, the last note, a G note, has a natural sign in front of it this restores the note to its original pitch and cancels out the flat in front of the G note immediately to the left of it. Sharps or flats in a piece of music known as accidentals last for the whole bar unless otherwise cancelled. Natural signs can also be used as accidentals when they cancel a sharp or flat in the key signature (see page 36). Although it is not strictly necessary, when a note reoccurs after it has been altered by an accidental in a previous bar the sharp, flat or natural that was altered may be repeated as a courtesy accidental so the player is under no confusion as to the intended pitch of the note. In this book, courtesy accidentals have been used to avoid any possible confusion.
Reading Music Notation Rhythm

The four main kinds of notes encountered are, starting with the longest note, semibreve, minim, crotchet and quaver. These are the European names for the notes; the corresponding American names are whole note, half note, quarter note and eighth note. In time, the semibreve/whole note gets 4 beats, the minim/half note gets 2 beats, the crotchet/quarter note gets 1 beat and the quaver/eighth note gets half a beat. A dot placed after a note increases its value by half. For example, a
www.scribd.com/doc/51710046/Begin-Guitar-Douglas-Noble 42/58
12/16/12
minim (worth 2 beats) with a dot after it will be worth 3 beats. Each note has its own equivalent rest symbol which is used to indicate silence, ie when no note is played.

It is important when learning to read music to tap ones foot on the beat and count the beats of the bar aloud. This exercise mixes semibreves/whole notes and minims/half notes. The beginners main fault when learning to read music is to play far too fast, so PLAY SLOWLY!
43/58
12/16/12
Exercise 1 at the top of page 34 mixes crotchets/quarter notes and quavers/eighth notes. Since the quavers receive half a beat it is necessary to count and for the quavers. Again, play slowly, tap your foot on the beat (do not tap the quavers rhythm when you come to them stick to the beat) and count aloud. Exercise 2, also on page 34, mixes the four types of notes encountered semibreves/whole notes, minims/half notes, crotchets/quarter notes and quavers/eighth notes.

Left-Hand Fingering and Right-Hand Plucking Technique

When playing single-note melodies (as in the following song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) the general technique with the left hand is to keep the fingers spread out one-finger-per-fret. That is, if the 1st finger is being used at the 1st fret, the 2nd finger should be poised above the 2nd fret, the 3rd finger above the 3rd fret and the 4th finger above the 4th fret. With the right hand, play this tune with a plectrum using downstrokes only. (In Chapter 3 we will introduce upstrokes with the plectrum and in Chapter 6 we will see how to pluck single-note melodies with the right-hand fingers.)

Now, OK, we wont be bringing down the house at Carnegie Hall with this little dittie, no matter how rousing your rendition. But its a start, right? Seriously, this puts into practice your knowledge of tablature, music reading and technique with a relatively straightforward tune that enables you to hear for yourself whether youve got it right or not. So, play on! Most of you will have gone straight to the tablature and will have used your knowledge of the tune to get the timing. Thats fine; but once youve done that, go back and look at the note values and count along to it. Then look up the notes in the note dictionary on page 31 to confirm that you are playing the correct notes. Theres a lot of information to put into practice here and a lot of technique points to be thinking of; just because this is a simple tune doesnt mean you should bash through it. Notice the sharp between the treble clef and the time signature, on the F line. The arrangement of sharps or flats at the beginning of a piece of music is called a key signature and tells you what key you are in we need not worry about this now. In practice, this particular key signature of FQ means every time an F note is encountered (not just the Fs on the top line) it must be played as FQ. However, in this particular song we do not encounter F.

By now the principles behind reading music should be appreciated and understood. It literally takes years to become a good sight reader on the guitar (sight reading is the ability to play a piece of music when it is seen for the first time). Remember, all the musical examples in this book are presented in music notation and tablature, in order to help you find the notes on the guitar, and the timing is kept as straightforward as

possible.
