Will Music Theory help with my guitar playing?

Branden Fitz asked:


For all you you musicians out there I need your help on this one. I want to learn how to learn how to read music notation. I just know tablature right now, yeah it works but I want to learn sheet music too and to know what key I’m in would help to. Does music theory/notation help you?

I’ve been playing the piano ‘by ear’ for 8 years.is it possible to learn to read sheet music now?

quentin032000 asked:


I’ve been playing by ear for almost 8 years. I’m good enough to play most songs I want to play just by memorization. I even make tutorials to teach songs to people that don’t know how to read sheet music.
One problem: I don’t know to read sheet music. I know the basis (the notes, the rhythms, the symbols) for the right hand (treble clef). I was wondering if there is a way to easily recognize the notes on the left hand section (bass clef). I’m pretty sure there must be a trick because it would be too hard to master both clefs and to read different notes on different clefs simultaneously.
Any advice ?

Should I learn to play the guitar by learning to read music or should I just learn to play by ear?

P.Tony4Life asked:


I know people that just learned to read the guitar without knowing how to read music, is this a gift or can anyone do this? And, is it beneficial to learn how to play by ear, or should I take the time to read music and understand it?
