[musictlk] new here and a question

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Andrew,

Welcome.

I'm not a guitarist, so I won't be much help to you.  You've already 
gotten some good feedback.

I'm a braille music reader, and also do a lot by ear.  I don't think 
the music code will help you much for what you're planning to 
do.  You may want to write out words and chords, but even those 
you'll be memorizing anyway, since you need your fingers to play the 
guitar.  Writing things out may help you to learn when you're not 
holding your guitar.

Blessings,

Linda
