Guitar Music

What's the difference between piano and guitar sheet music?

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but how does guitar sheet music compare to piano sheet music. Which of the following is true:

1) The guitar music is the same as the treble cleff staff of the piano grand staff.
2) As 1, but the bass staff is merged into the treble staff
3) It all needs conversion according to fixed rules.
4) It's completely different
5) something else

Thanks

Guitar music on the visual pitch system is written on the treble clef, but the instrument is actually an octave lower than it is written. There is no bass clef or "merger" of the bass clef.

These days, guitar music is normally written into tablature format for ease of reading by people who can't read music.

Of those statements, the 1st is true.

Guitar Music - Rhythm and Melody

Guitar music is the most commonly used type of music, for it is the most versatile instrument around. Since the old days, guitars are the most preferred instrument by many, because of its musical ranges and capability. It has a wide range of sound and it can produce different sounds using different techniques.

Most people find guitar playing relaxing.

The music whether being played or by simply listening to it can reduce one's stress. It also can be a form of expression. During the 70's, some activists used the guitar to create statements and awareness by creating songs that contents the messages and ideas they are fighting for.

Guitar is the rhythm of the music, it serves as the accent and flare to every song. It states the mood and beat and controls the tempo. It can be called the backbone of every song for it is the basis of how a certain song's sound would end up.

There are different types and every one is suited for a certain sound. The electric guitar uses a pick up and an amplifier speaker to produce sound.

Rock artists commonly use it for it's flexibility and it's ability to be tweaked with effects. This guitar is also commonly used in concerts because its volume can be controlled depending on the speakers used, so it has no volume limit at all and it is the ideal instrument for concerts with large crowds.

Another type is the acoustic guitar. This is the accessible kind of guitar, for it can be carried and played anywhere without the hassle of using a speaker. Folk and country singers prefer it for its bluesy acoustic vibe. The acoustic sound is more relaxing and smoother than the electric one.

A third type of most commonly used guitars is the bass. This is a four-stringed instrument, which uses thick strings and produces a deep low tone. Usually it is used to accompany the electric guitar and accentuate the timing. Like the drum, bass guitar is essential because it also serves as the timekeeper and defines the tempo of the song. It adds boost to the sound, which amplifies the rhythm.

There are also other type string instruments, which serve a different purpose. Examples are the cello guitar and the mandolin. These types can be seen being used in orchestra plays and recitals. There are lots of kinds out there and each one serves different purposes.

Choosing music as a choice of music to learn is obviously a fine choice. Its depth and range in creating sound is infinite, it can play together with other instruments and it also can be played alone.
