MuseScore Blues Community

• Nov 25, 2023 - 00:45

Hi all. Just joined today and had a frustrating first experience. I have no background in music theory of terminology, and am interested in scoring with tablature for blues only, specifically fingerpicking and slide blues guitar playing. Today I was left with the feeling after watching some YouTube videos, and trying to score “Ramblin’ on my mind” that MuseScore many or most members have a formal or some formal music background, for example they understand standard notation and it’s terminology. That’s not me. So my question is, if there are members like me that require easy access to blues tablature symbols (maybe these are just tablature symbols) like “/“ or an wiggly line for vibrato or the use of a”p” or a “h” for pull offs and hammer ons, and those bars over triplets or upward arrows indication a 1/4 bend etc., then maybe I’m wrong and I’m just not that intuitive. Anyway, if there are folks like me as members and have found easy ways to tab delta/country blues played on a reso, I’d love to hear from you, and maybe have a group discussion?
