920bpm Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Hello, I'm writing a piece for two electric guitars and have encountered some things that I'm not sure have a standard way to notate them, so I thought I would get people's thoughts on what would be best. 1. The piece is played primarily with picks, but occasionally I want to specify that a certain chord is played with fingers, or with pick and fingers together - should I just write "with fingers" each time and then "with pick" when it goes back to using a pick? 2. Palm mute - I was thinking of just writing "p.m." followed by "ord." when it gets back to normal (and having a performance note at the beginning saying "p.m. = palm mute"). How does that sound? Are there any 'standard' ways to notate those things? Quote
pateceramics Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 There are some examples of palm mute notation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_mute And here's a good chart of all sorts of guitar notation that you might find helpful: http://www.frankgambale.com/guitar_notation_legend.pdf (I play clawhammer banjo, so no picks for me. Can't answer that one for you.) (: 1 Quote
