740.0. "Reading Piano Music-Guitar and Bass" by BMT::COMAROW (Resource wait state) Sun Jul 24 1988 03:41
This is both a suggestion and an invitation for other players.
Back in the days when I made my living playing music, I used to
get together and read piano music - bass player plays left
hand, guitar right.
There is a great literature of music available, requires creativity,
and, most of all is great fun. Guitar and bass playing counterpoint,
Bach, Motzart, Stravinsky, Bartok, whatever.
And one can cover a lot more literature than a classical guitarist.
It is a great way to improve your reading while learning about by
playing all kinds of great masters. And it sounds great.
All it takes is finding someone about your reading level, as there
is piano music available at all levels.
Any guitar players on Long Island that can really read? I'd love
to take out my dusty bass and play a few tunes.

| 740.1 | TRANSPOSING PIANO MUSIC FOR GUITAR | COMET::BEYZAVI | | Sun Oct 02 1988 18:43 | 9 |
| I have done that for classical guitar, reading piano music and
transposing it an octave higher for the guitar. It is a good way to
improve your musical ability because you may have to omit some notes
and/or make small changes in the pickup notes.
Many times I would wonder which note(s) omit or add. As one my
guitar teacher said "some times there are many correct ways".
