Good Free Sheet Music Sites for Guitar?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 90/100. Pigglies (5141)   ranked 5 out of 296 in playing the guitar 6 years ago

I've noticed it seems pretty easy to find free tablature for guitar online, but what about sheet music?

I know how to read sheet music, but tab just confuses me!

Anyone know of good sites for free sheet music for guitar? Especially Christmas songs and classical songs?

Feel free to post free sheet music sites for other instruments as well!

if you want some tabulatures of guitars, check it out at www.ultimate-guitar.com
most of them are in GP3 or GP4, using guitarpro programs to learn it, okay!
good luck!

Still looking for free sheet music too though. But thanks. :)

I used to know of a few free sheet music places, but they don't seem to be around anymore. :( With sheet music, no tab.

I am actually looking for the same thing right now. I have been playing classical guitar since I was 7. I want to branch off into learning some other types of music. The problem I have is that I can read music..hahahah. I guess I will have to learn tab too. What a shame. I can't even find anything decent at the music store.

I do know of one site I have been tooling around with. It is half way decent actually:

If you know of any good ones please share them y'all!

Oh cool thanks! That's one I used to use and totally forgot about. I will have to check it out again, I bet they have more stuff now... I was last on there probably 5 years ago or so.

I find that tabs aren't too hard to understand. However, sometimes it does need to be translated into regular sheet music & then from knowing the correct notes (assuming that the online tabs are correct), go & develop your own way of playing.


myLot reputation of 90/100. Pigglies (5141)   ranked 5 out of 296 in playing the guitar  6 years ago

I guess technically, I could translate tab into sheet music. I'm just lazy and like it in sheet music to start out with.

It took me long enough to learn sheet music, I don't want to confuse myself even more with tab.

Free sheet music is hard to find cause making sheet music and reading sheet music is a skill that few have. I can read both tab and sheet music, and I've heard that after learning sheet music, learning tab can be confusing. I find it quite simple once you get the hang of it. The only problem with Tab is its difficult to show rhythm. If you would like to learn how to read tab, I could send you a short and simple tutorial. Tab may not seem like a "classy" skill to learn, but its actually quite helpful when trying to communicate music to thoes who don't have the time to learn sheet music. I did a search on google and got this result... maybe it will help you. www.freesheetmusic.net/


myLot reputation of 90/100. Pigglies (5141)   ranked 5 out of 296 in playing the guitar  6 years ago

I'm not sure tab is something I could even learn, being dyslexic. I had a hard enough time with sheet music, but now that I know it, I'm sticking with it. I can read three different clefs and that's it, but that's good enough for me.

Thanks for the offer though!


myLot reputation of 89/100. benks420 (129)   ranked 11 out of 296 in playing the guitar  6 years ago

Wow thats quite impresive, three different Clefs. I only know Bass Clef fluently. I could figure out the other staffs if I knew were middle c was but I wouldn't know it well enough to sight-read it.


myLot reputation of 90/100. Pigglies (5141)   ranked 5 out of 296 in playing the guitar  6 years ago

I think it just came to me because I wanted to learn a lot of instruments. I learned bass clef first when I played trombone. I learned viola and that had the alto clef. Then I wanted to learn piano and finally had to learn treble clef as well.

Actually, I just thought of one instrument where I can read the tab. Harmonica. I don't usually go with the sheet music for harmonica because it gets way too confusing as you switch keys!

Sheet music can be used as a record of, a guide to, or a means to perform, a piece of music. Although it does not take the place of the sound of a performed work, sheet music can be studied to create a performance and to elucidate aspects of the music that may not be obvious from mere listening. Authoritative musical information about a piece can be gained by studying the written sketches and early versions of compositions that the composer might have retained, as well as the final autograph score and personal markings on proofs and printed scores.
