Topic: Possible to figure strumming patterm from sheet music?
All,
Is it possible to figure out the strumming pattern from looking at the sheet music?
Thanks
Re: Possible to figure strumming patterm from sheet music?
Most sheet music will have a 'feel description' at the beginning of the music. It will read something like bright rock beat, moderately bright, medium rock beat, d=96(this indicates beats per minute, or bpm), moderately fast, moderately slow, etc.. Also, at the beginning of the piece the time signature will be indicated in the melody, treble, and bass clefs. The best clef to get an accurate feel for the strumming patern would be the treble(or middle) clef. If the song you're learning is available on an audible source( CD, youtube, etc..) it would help tremendously helpful to listen to the song while using your sheet music.
Give everything but up.

It's absolutely possible to learn the rhythm of a piece of music from sheet music. Translating that into how you strum it is part of what you as an artist do.
Do you have an example of what you're trying to read?
Someday we'll win this thing...

Depends on what sheet music has , is it only the melody line or does it have second part [ rhythm] and bass part .
