Question:
Do great guitarists even read music or know the all the chords?
Someone told me that most great guitarists dont even red music or know chord names. I could see how this is possible with tabs but is it true?
Answers: this is true .... kinda
most famous guitarist don't know **** about actual music (notice I said most and not all) -- they know enough about root notes to relate to the rest of the band what they're playing
most truly talented guitarist are also musicians and well versed with musical theory I know self taught people who have been playing for over 30 years they are the best guitarists i know (personally) but i still know more chords and scales then them. Basically music is about making an instrument sound good not being a fantastic technical player.
