Reviews for "DMT:How to read music/tab"

Sure thing. I'll be covering EVERYTHING, so just stay tuned and check up on my flash (maybe RSS feed it lol) I'll be able to pump one of these out every few days.
Helpful and well done!
I already know how to read Tab, but this'll help my brothers learn guitar as well. And perhaps this'll help me learn to read sheet music (although I'm still a tad clueless after reading your section on Sheet Music, but I'll get it sooner or later)
Darkmaster603 responds:
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I tried to make it as understandable as I could but I guess I could have been more clear. The next tutorial will talk about Sheet music to tab, so you may understand it on the next one!
Glad you liked it though, and thanks for the review!
Suggestion for your next one...
I've played guitar for quite a while, I'm pretty good, but while I can work out a few songs by ear, usually I need to play things through tab. If you could show how a tabbed out song looks when written out in music, it'd really help.
Learning the basics of reading music from this was a big help though, cheers.
Darkmaster603 responds:
Yes, I am already working on Transcribing sheet music to tablature, so you will be able to use that!
Glad it helped you learn the basics, that makes it worthwhile!
Nice
Well done.
I saw this more as an information delivery foundation, rather than a music/tab tutorial. Honestly, you could put anything in there, and that's the beauty. You potentially have a very sleek, web2.0, way to tell people about anything.
BUG: running through sheet music, then tablature leaves you with a menu button to click on. clicking this takes you back to the menu, but another instance of the music starts again over the original. a bit distracting.
Your main menu was more much nicely animately than the rest of the slides. i'd like it if this was consistent.
You intermingle text and images that contain text. this seems inconsistent.
im no musician, but perhaps someone learned something? i mean, don't they make whole books on this stuff? i'd say you were a bit too concise, in which case explaining this topic might not be appropriate for a flash movie.
remember your audience too. this is a fine display of work, but are people getting any utility out of it? There's probably not too many people coming to NG looking for this. SURE, there are some, but imo, not enough to make it worth while. it seems like you got a webpage. put this on there.
Darkmaster603 responds:
Well, I agree that not many people come here looking for this in particular, 95% of my reviews are thanks for making this, because they either got a refresher in music or are getting into music and it's helping them. This was mainly for my site, but I thought it would be a good idea to upload here too.
I also agree that the tutorial could have had more animation done to it, but I kinda rushed through this. The next one I will get into more details graphically.
For the music problem, I've added that stop music button
I think your right about a lot of things, but the point was to make a interesting and unique tutorial on how to read music/tab. That was my goal, and from the reviews I'm reading, I think I accomplished it.
Thanks for the review, and criticism!
Cool
I liked, just a thing, I have an easyest way to play Crazy Train
Darkmaster603 responds:
Well, I just needed a song everyone has heard for an example. I'm sure there are different ways to play crazy train, but this is the way I learned.
