Just like composing any language, musical notation requires understanding of proper spelling and syntax. So, to avoid you making the very same mistakes, let's today review some awful examples of dodgy notation!
The outro music to this video is my track "Mothers Day" which you can hear completely on Spotify:.

i never thought about this as a video idea, but it exists and i love it
* *double checking my treble & bass clef tattoos are facing the correct way* * phew 🥳
Ruthless. Flexing on their tattoos.
When he started playing the music on the tattoo with a guide hitting each note killed me.
2:17 Also the key signature is on an E space, not an F line.
7:22 Also I have one of those Difficult Times shirts
I also follow a channel called Art of Guitar and he does a recurring segment that I love where he points out how flawed some of those old guitar tab books are for popular rock and pop artists. This video gives me similar vibes lol
Came to say the same thing. Even modern tab can have so many errors to the point where it’s impossible to even play
I’m not over the Amadeus Cafe that had all of Mozart, in the public domain, to write on the menu cover, and wrote the Flintstones theme. I’d almost believe it was on purpose.
Love this new video type 😂 Learning while laughing!!
i think the GAGA tattoo is a great little idea that works, but the fact that it was wrong AND fixed, oh boy. i would have just left it, would’ve been kinda quirky.
Lady Gaga is a trained musician, so it would have bothered her.
Your mastery of child psychology is matched only by my vulnerability to it! Now I want to learn how to read sheet music!!! Well played, good Sir, well played!!!
3:45 – I wouldn’t give this one a hard time simply because it’s obviously meant as a kind of pareidolia. It doesn’t matter tha the clefs are based on other letters – they still **LOOK LIKE** S and C.
I was kind of hoping you’d play all the tattoo melodies! (maybe a video idea for the second channel?)
edit: ah, you played some of them
6:17 even in the later pictures of keyboards there is a part where the middle black key overlapps just 1 white key in the middle. in other words: to many white keys again. or did i get this wrong?
You should make a video on irrational time signatures.
I’m a big fan of the sign my music teacher had up in her room that said “students while the teacher is talking: (whole rest with fermata)”
You should make more videos like this, it’s wonderfull to watch 😊
Someone should do something with “Running over A-sharp spike will make your tire B-flat” or similar nonsense.
You should check out some of the uploads to Songsterr. Really mad things like swung notes fully written out, bizarre and unplayable fingerings in the tab, and no key signatures so everything written in as accidentals. I’ve a suspicion that many of them are done by people using software to convert AI-generated stems to MIDI.
I think the “Treble clef as the letter S” tattoo explains the tendency to draw them incorrectly — I bet a lot of people think it’s supposed to be a capital S in cursive handwriting, because those do bear a strong resemblance to backwards treble clefs.
I have a periodic table of music notation. I got this gift for Christmas and love it to death. There’s just one issue. It shows a rest symbol in the box above the word…
*arpeggio*.
Either they meant to put the arpeggio symbol, or the word “Quarter rest”.
Not just this, but I have a cover for my desk for when I move into college in the fall, and it shows a bunch of music theory stuff; circle of fifths, scales, chord progressions, etc. They have a keyboard on the pad too…
With the treble cleft having “GBDFA” like the bass on the bottom.
Bruh 🙄
Were any of the wrong-way-round notes caused by taking a stencil and putting it down flipped over?
