I play guitar, have done so for years, but always by tabs, never with any formal education. Actual sheet music? Never really bothered. Now seemed like a good time to fix that.</p> <p>The problem showed up quickly. Guitar tabs and most resources aimed at guitarists use letter notation: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. My son learns through solfège: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si. When we sit together and look at the same note on a staff, he calls it for example Do, and I have to think really hard whether it&rsquo;s a Do or C. That is fine in principle, both systems map to the same notes, but it means I want to be fluent in both.</p>
