Do you mean because you didn't see a proof beforehand, or because you couldn't read it? Either way, did it bother you? You trusted the publisher?
I assume it's close enough for you though?  |
Hi Jon,
Good to hear that there's a tab version that shows rhythm for those people who prefer tab but who also can read standard. My assumption is that reading the beat comes with reading the notes in standard notation.
I have always been dyslexic, and reading music, or tab, was just never something that I beat myself up about not being able to do with any sort of proficiency. Of course the publisher sent a copy anyway, and you bet I trusted them: It's what they do. I just compose the stuff.
The fact that someone played the song very well without my direct help is proof enough that Mel Bay/Stephen Rekas did a good job.
