Guitar

I am learning to play the guitar (accoustic). There is probably going to be a fair amount of information here about music in general. My music page is really more about my music collection (i.e. Music Appreciation).

Guitar Information

Sheet Music Software

• Muscript is a program that takes it's own musical notation (documented on its web site) and turns it into sheet music in PostScript format. You could then use GhostScript to convert to PDF if you prefer. GhostView is a PostScript viewer. Muscript is a Perl program (you need Perl to run it). Perl, PostScript, GhostScript, GhostView are all Unix oriented software, but there is a Windows version of Perl and GSview is a Windows version of GhostView (you can use it to print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers).
• Lilypond is a music editor that allows you to produce sheet music or MIDI files.
• Guitar Pro, Guitar Tabature Editor Software

Playing aids

• Metronomes
• Metronome Online provides a free Metronome program you can use via the internet.
• There are some free Metronome programs you can download and run on your computer, palm pilot, etc. that I list on my Software page.

Music Theory

• Harp On - site for chromatic harmonics, but much of the music theory carries over.
• Gilbert DeBenedetti teaches music theory at the college level. He has some free sheet music (mostly for Piano) you can download from his homepage. He also has a web page on music theory called, G Major Music Theory
