New pickup%26#039;s for guitar. any recomendations?
I don%26#039;t think you should modify anything yet, because you%26#039;re still a newbie at guitar. But hey, it%26#039;s your money, go spend it if you like. Pickups are really just a preference, and it also depends on what style of music you really play. If you only have one guitar, and don%26#039;t want the open coiled, than I%26#039;d recommend Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates SH-PG1 (I put this on my ESP Custom, and it sounds beautiful) on the neck and put a Seymour Duncan Parallel Axis Trembucker Blues Sarasceno PATB-3. That combination is very versatile to any type of genre. The cost... Well it%26#039;s not too expensive, although it will damage your wallet a bit. Uhm... I would HIGHLY RECOMEND not doing the job yourself, as you can damage the guitar, if not destroy it all together, if you have little to no knowledge of guitar tech. It%26#039;s alot easier to take it to the shop, trust me on this.

Best acoustic guitar for starters?

I%26#039;m starting to learn guitar at church, and I need to get a guitar..


Nothing too expensive, please.
Best acoustic guitar for starters?
I got a $150 Epiphone to start, and it still plays really well. It%26#039;s good quality and a very solid guitar to start with.

Just go for the best. Buy a Taylor. If you buy a cheap guitar, it will be hard to play and therefore will discourage you from practicing. They now offer solid-body electrics as well as their full line of acoustics, so no matter what type of guitar you are in the market for, you can buy a Taylor.

Translate music from alto sax to flute?
The term for what you%26#039;re trying to do is %26quot;transpose%26quot;.





Flutes are C instruments, Alto Saxophones are E instruments. So if it starts in B for alto sax, the same note for flute is a G.
Translate music from alto sax to flute?
Alto sax is an Eb instrument. In other words when an Alto sax sees a C they play Eb. In the case of the alto it is the Eb below the note on the treble clef.





When a flute sees a C they play C.





So basically down three half steps from E flat to C.





You can use this to transpose things quickly:

However, its good to know what key the original music is in.





Hope that helps.





Edit: The girl above me is slightly wrong, its most definitely an E flat instrument





Edit: Just use the website I gave you. On the website. Type in the notes B D E in the website. and then set the options so you are transposing 3 half steps up from flute to alto sax.





or if you want to think about it:





B to B# (one half step)


B# is enharmonic (the same pitch as) to C


so C to C# (another half step)


C# to D (third half step)





tadah! so its D
Reply:Ok- let’s see if I can help you out…


A sax is usually the instrument that transposes… the alto sax is in Eb, and the flute is in C (like the piano and guitar). When you both play a “C” for your instrument, the flute SOUNDS a “C”, and the sax SOUNDS an “Eb”. To fix this, the sax would play a minor third (3 half steps) down. We (band people) call this Concert pitch. So if the director says “Play Bb Concert pitch”, anyone with a transposing instrument would adjust their note accordingly (there are also instruments in Bb and F, for example) to play the same note.





Now, with what you are trying to do, you need to go the opposite way… you need to go UP a minor 3rd (3 half steps). So yes, you are correct- his “B” is your “D”… “B” to “C” (1), “C” to “C#” (2), “C#” to “D” (3).


Do realize though, that you will be in unison, but in octaves. So if he is playing a “B” that is the middle of the staff, you will be playing your “D” 2 ledger lines above the staff.





The “actual” way that you would transpose to meet his note would be to go down a Major 6th (a minor 3rd and Major 6th are the same interval). If you don’t mind playing in octaves, don’t worry about it. If you want “true” unison, you could also think UP a minor 3rd, and then play an octave lower.





So the first 3 notes are:


HE plays “B” “D” “E”… YOU play “D” “F” “G”





I hope this helps you out! And a word of advice… I know your son probably just started on sax, but it is never too early to teach him theory (or too late for you to catch some too! lol). As he gets older, and especially if he plays in a jazz band, he will need to understand the transposition and how chords work. Maybe you two could take turns trying to transpose… even if you mess it up, it can be great fun laughing and playing together!





Good Luck to both of you, and have fun!
