Standard notation chart for e9th neck.

Post by Toby Rider »

Does anyone have a chart, ideally a pdf of all the notes on the E9th neck in standard music notation?

I am working on sight reading for the steel.

A lot of music will sound best if you play it an octave lower than written, like the guitar players do.

Guitar and bass are notated an octave higher than they sound, so transpose everything on the above chart up an octave and you'll be reading like guitar and bass players do...the low end of the C6th still goes into bass clef unless you like reading 4 ledger lines below the treble clef!

Toby,
You might try working your way through begining violin books and sight singing excersize books.
