This is your second reference to me playing guitar. However, Auther I
haven't played guitar for years, more misrepresentation ?
BTW, Sterling Price came down to pick up a new Baroque lute yesterday.
He's one of the best site readers on lute I've ever seen, After a day of
lute playing, He picked up a Lakota guitar I had hanging around and started
to play some Sor, and then said " Man I forget how to read guitar music
anymore".
Grand staff would take 5 minutes to learn, yet if it's not a language you
use often, one tends to forget it, and speak the language your more
comfortable with, like tablature.
He told me he has no problem recognizing voice leading in Tablature as
well as harmony and counterpoint.
There is NO absolute best script. It's like saying Chinese symbols are
inferior to the English language symbols. No Chinese person would agree
with you. English does happen to be a dominant language thesedays in the
world, and helpful to know if you want to fly commercial airliners etc. but
by no means is it the only way of communication. Grand staff just happens to
be the language most people other than lutenists grew up speaking. It's only
symbolic, and is defiantly not an absolute! Unless you happen to be a boring
musicicoligist!
