>>48493716did you learn drum by listening to beats and then recreating them? If so you massively handicapped yourself by not using notation for percussive instruments
Did you learn bass and guitar by listening to stuff and then trying to recreate them?
Or did you learn what chords are?
On the bass did you just listen to the base lines and not try to read from sheet music?
Because then you again massively handicapped yourself.
>>48493903no, I am not just talking about orchestral music. Jazz and big band musicians for example use notation also just as much.
Notation is also not just a thing for piano and violin. But any instrument
>why would a non-classical guitarist need to know how to read notes for examplebecause you can do a lot more on a guitar than strumm chords.

>>48494037I can read it. I can't sight read but I won't take half an hour to read through a short piece.
