When you look in the sheet music sections of your local music store for modern material you will find many different types 
, and from popular single songs to complete albums. You'll also find "best of" collections, complete works and volumes focusing on specific time periods of artists, or compilations of a music style or the classic seventies, eighties or nineties compilations. If you're looking for a certain piece to play along to, there's a good chance it will be in one of the many books available.Difficulty is an important factor when choosing sheet music. Although individual songs on sheet music tend to be pretty good interpretations of the original version, books vary widely in complexity and accuracy of reproduction. Some books are strictly for beginners and are designed to be used as a learning tool, teaching your chosen instrument by playing songs you love rather than some of the songs that have been used for many years by music teachers but fail to inspire today. But be cautious. Sometimes the songs are not meant to be played along with the recorded versions, but are to play solo or aimed at vocalists. With the guitar, for example, songs in the keys of C small blank canvas equipment, E, A and D are generally much easier to play than the keys in which they were originally recorded, so songs written in these more difficult keys are most likely to be transposed to make give new players a better chance of success. Similarly, songs whose sheet music is in the same key as the recordings might use easier versions of some tricky or difficult chords, so the song can be played along with the recording Canvas shoulder bag, but not sound exactly the same.Also traditional music notation is not always used. For example guitar music typically has its own notation, using one of several variations. They are explained next.First there are the chord diagrams, which use a small picture representing the six strings of the guitar (vertical) and several frets (horizontal), with black dots showing where the fingers go. In theory you don't need to know any chords and you don't need to know what notes you're playing.Tab notation for guitars is another variation. This uses six continuous lines (four for bass guitar) just like normal sheet music, but rather than notes there are numbers to show the fret onto which the string should be pressed. The tab method lets you play both tunes and chords without the need to to be able to read music. The downside with tab and chord diagrams is that the music can only be played on the instrument it is written for.With this final notation, the name of the chord (e.g. Em, Cmaj) is written above the normal music at every chord change. This has the advantage of allowing the chords to be played on any instrument, but the chords themselves will need to be learnt first. It also allows the player to simplify the peice as much as they wish.Picking up music for popular songs is a great way to learn an instrument, and as you become more proficient on your instrument you can learn songs exactly as they are recorded. It's much easier with sheet music than trying to learn by listening and continually pausing!
Ask most people what they think of when they hear the phrase 'sheet music' and there's a good chance they'll come back with some Classical concept, such as the score to an orchestral piece or something to be played on a solo piano. But actually canvas gym bag, this forms only part of the sheet music available. Contemporary music is extremely well represented in the sheet music sections of most good music stores, with everything from mainstream pop hits to the latest avant-garde sounds on the shelves.
