I feel, standard notation is easier learnt through proper books, or learning off a teacher.

Invest in this book. It's very good, but extremely boring to read.

Look at note reading as "deciphering" whether the notes go up (higher) or down (lower). Don't think of the alphabets!
If you ask any musician who reads, THE TRUTH, you'll that find none of them "think" music notes to alphabets, then the alphabets to notes on the keyboard (or in this case frets)! Stop any of these musicians while they are reading music, halfway thru, and ask them what were the alphabets of the last 3 notes they were playing and chances are they'll take a while to tell you because they have to THINK which alphabets they were playing - no one thinks alphabets WHILE playing. :lol:

It's all RELATIVE! Is the note going higher or lower? Is it going higher or lower by a little bit (step) or a "hop" (skip) or a whole lot (a leap)?! :wink:
Then it's only up to YOU to take the LEAP (or step or skip) to the notes you think the music sheet is saying.

Of course, like anything you learn, after working this out, you'd have to PRACTICE (like when you practice guitar "by ear"!) this method until you get "automatic" with it. That's how people end up READING music!

if u have anything you need to convert u can send it to me and i can TRY to help you. Knowing the notes alone is only a part of converting it to tab, you also gotta know which string the note will be best played on etc. etc.

i do read them but quite slowly.. translating them to tabs is a bit hard cuz u have quite a number of positions (usually 2 or 3) to fret the guitar to play the same note, hwere as, on keyboard, theres on'y 1 key to play the note... if u see some chords, u'll have to work out which is the optimal position... may be high up on teh neck or may be low down...

tabbing canon in D now... sianz
