Greg's Notation
Greg has his own form of shorthand notation, and it
works pretty well. Here's an example:
|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
| | | | |
|--------------|--------O--O--|--------------|--------------|
| | 2 4 | | |
|--------O--O--|--O--O--------|--------O--O--|--------O--O--|
| 2 4 | 0 4 | 2 4 | 2 4 |
|--O--O--------|--------------|--O--O--------|--O--O--------|
0 4 0 4 0 4
This represents four measures of 4/4 music. The horizontal
lines are the bass guitar strings, appearing just as you
see them when you strap on the guitar and look down at the
neck. Vertical lines are measure dividers - time,
not frets.
Circles on the horizontal lines are notes. In this example,
there are four quarter-notes played in each of the four
measures shown. The note circles are drawn on the string
they're played on.
Numbers under circles are fret numbers, with 0 (zero)
representing an open string.
