one of my friends told me that sheet music

what exactly did your friend tell you it was important for?

I personally prefer to have my music transcribed in at least a "fake sheet" type of sheet music so that other musicians will be able to play it.

Your friend wouldn't be a classically trained musician who sight reads, would he (or she)?

Because it is important so people can play your music after the zombie apocalypse and all electronics are gone.  Written music will survive like the cockroach.  Your disks and mp3 player, not so much.  Of course, this presupposes zombies like your music and can play instruments. 

It is the same w/ videos - all the bad versions of literature will be gone, forcing the zombies to read for pleasure, instead of heating up some popbrain to watch Dawn of the Dead on a hand cranked projector.

Meanwhile, in the real world, you can copyright your music w/ sheet music, or just send the gubberment a CD.

What an odd question.

Yes, but I predict its just setting things up for another newish poster to post an answer about notes-helper software. 

I'll bet you're right!

They don't...they used to though.  It's because they're more concerned with rakin it in than producing solid, affordable, quality instruments.  Ol Henry is no dummy.

That was my guess too...


Hey, my friend told me that Gibson makes good guitars.  Is that true?  Why?   

 
 
Well........... that depends............... on model, vintage and accessories installed!

Is it just me or Gibson guitars are constantly on sale these days? I'm kind of wondering how their cheaper Les Paul holds up again similarly priced Epiphones... 

Sheet music is incredibly important if you are working with musicians that can READ the page. I am classical trained musician but I also have been blessed to play by ear as well. I must say I hated getting whacked on the fingers with a ruler if I didn't play exactlly what was on the paper! LOL! I would say that as far as music in the last 50 to 60 years, the ability to write or read has greatly diminished. I heard Paul McCartney telling storys about him sitting and humming orchestra parts to George Martin while he wrote them out for the players to read in the sessions. Sheet music is the quickest way to convey your music to trained musicians. Sheet music also serves the purpose of you being able to leave behind a concrete, solid record of your work. As stated before it is not a requirement to be successful in the music business, but depending on the type of music you write it is a must as far as communication with READING musicians. None of these comments are meant to belittle anyone that doesn't read or write music. It's just a point of view from someone who does. I use a notation software to relegate my ideas to paper as a documented record so when I am gone my kids and grandkids can pull out my music and see what I did way back when. Who knows, someone may be able to actually perform my songs as they were intended to be heard, note for note, with all the expression marks to show the players the emotion intended in a certain passage.
Don't get me wrong in this post. I spent most of my teen years picking up and setting the needle back on the record player learning Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, and Page licks on my guitar! I have probably made more money playing pieces by ear than I ever would have reading the page. I wish you luck whichever way you decide to go. JUST MAKE SOME MUSIC!

Unfortunately.


Yes.


But I'll refrain.

Anyone know how I can get videos about high-quality Chinese Nike knockoffs from my Mac to my iPod? 

If I drank coffee it would be all over the screen.  LOL!!! 

another important conclusion may be like; it is helpful for future music productivity. This is the time and place where musicians are born!

Yea, he sounds a lot like...well heck I can't remember his name now...but used to get a kick out of his trolling nonsense.  What was that guys name...every post a non-sequitur?
