I've seen the Sound of Music around 60 times, because my sister liked it, not me.... yeah.

Solfege is one of the most common ways of expressing musical notes for vocalists. In fact, in some countries, solfege is always used instead of note names.

The major scale in solfege runs thusly: do re mi fa so la ti. (Note: in many regions, "ti" is called "si".) After "ti" comes "do" again, one octave higher. Notes outside the scale (sharps and flats) are expressed using another syllable with the same initial letter. For example, the space between "re" and "mi" can be called either "ri" or "mé". The proper sylable to use is based on whether you are travelling up or down the scale. The first letter of the syllable should come from the previous note, while the second letter is inherited from the next note in the sequence.

This book will not use solfege. More information can be obtained in Wikipedia's treatment of the subject. The material should be learned and practiced, but it is useful mostly in communicating with other musicians who use the system.

for those of you who want to learn to play guitar, heres what i suggest (and how i did it)

(1) get a crappy guitar and amp if you wana do electric
(2) start by teaching yourself. if you know any friends who play, get them to teach you chords. practice until you can get them good. get them to teach you tab also.
(3) go onlline, www.olga.net, www.ultimate-guitar.org, and start playing you favorite songs
(4) once you know for sure that you like guitar and you know a few songs, get a guitar teacher, for whatever styles you like (i wanted to play rock and roll, the real stuff, ya know jimi hendrix, stones, led zep, etc) so I got a teacher who does specializes in that. Since rock and roll is just a corrupted blues scale (and corrupted blues rythm) he taught me the scales, and proper technique, etc.
(4a) get a new, better guitar.
(5) then its up to you to improvise etc. www.12bar.de is a great site once you have the basics for blues, especially his easy to read scales for every major blues key. (and you can do flats and sharps too if you are clever)
(6) by now you should be able to listen to most songs and figure out what key its in. then you just overlay your own solos and riffs by playing them in the same key
(7) and then you can writing your own stuff, getting your own style (slowhand, fingerpicking, classical, mexican, jazz, etc.) into it.

sorry no more guitar players for me ex husband is on and ex bf both turned out to be weenies. Only thing i needed from tubes was that he didnt play the guitar. Tom petty is good i like him. I like Gary Moore as a blues guy tho.

only pop guitar players are weenies. blues and real rock and roll guitarists are manly men. pop sounds pretty, blues sounds sexy, you cant resist when we ping out those funny sounds.
