Amplifier has no aux in, what alternatives can I use? @galley: The USB link into an wall socket would combine the signals from the guitar and MP3 player, and send them into the wall... The output is the USB plug with purpose to record on a computer using some recording software. |

Stopping high E string from muting by palm when using thumb to frett As it seems this use a static fretting on 2 on that string, a "cheat" could be to tune up the E string to F#, so you can play it open... That is, if you don't need lower tuning on that string in other parts of the same song... |

Learn guitar chords? @supercat: That's why I gave an alternative F chord on the next line with a comment on being easier if you have problems with barre. Do you have a better / easier alternative for F? I will happily improve my answer if you have a better solution. |

Why is it common to write tuba sheet music in concert pitch? This is a common way to do this for E♭ tuba (in Norway at least). I have done it since 3rd year in the school band, and now 25 years later, I still do it (I had a 18 year break from when I quit the school band , and joined the wind orchestra as adult). It would be too much effort to re-learn when the transposing is not more difficult than it is (for E♭ tuba, as the note positions are really the same). Maybe the real question here should be: why is it common to learn transposed version for E♭ tuba...? |

Why is it common to write tuba sheet music in concert pitch? When I was learning to play in the school band, we got all sheets transposed for E♭ tuba in G clef. See my examples: For the transposed version for E♭ tuba in G clef, the notes has the same positions on the note lines as the concert key in bass clef. The only difference is in the sharps and flats. As a general rule when transposing for E♭ tuba, I am just thinking "remove 3 flats (or add sharps)". This works just fine until we get something like A♯ in concert pitch, which translates to G♯♯ in my head, which is really A. |

A total newbie wants to learn how to write songs. What does he need? If your band has a keyboard player, and guitarist(s) are somewhat beyond beginner, then C major is a good key. If your band does not have any keyboard player, it is easier to use the key of A as in slim's answer. |
