So I'm in this theory class and my teacher does jazz band for the school. He already has 5000000004u578904376598754290384-389240-28-482-842-42 guitarists so he didn't need me for this semester but I asked him for the sheet music anyway so I could familiarize myself with it and hopefully be at least a tiny bit proficient by next semester when I'd be able to hop on.
Looking at my first piece, holy crap. Between figuring out where the hell the notes are on the guitar and my A.D.D. It took me like 10 minutes to figure out 2 chords (the first measure). I'd figure out one chord then start noodling around it then be like OSHT whats the next chord! Figure out where the first 2 notes are and start noodling again.
Jeez I couldn't imagine sight reading this stuff This isn't even a difficult piece either (things ain't what they used to be by mercer ellington) and what the hell is the tempo!? (all it says is moderate swing)
phew well /endrant
Oh btw anyone know what (#9) means I actually haven't gone over that in theory yet. Specifically its D+7(#9) I know thats D augmented 7 but am not sure what the nine in parenthesis is.
