Musicians everywhere have occasion to use a sheet of music. It is not often that an orchestra member will be seen without sheetmusic. However, more often than not, those playing the guitar appear to be playing unscripted. Although, it is a good bet that their songs were originally written and scored on a music chart.

Guitarists from all genres and cultures perform without a sheet of music, but when they practice or learn a song of music they will use sheetmusic. In fact, most musicians that create their own music commonly write and rewrite their new tunes, while learning and developing a new score. And unless they are soloists, music composers need to write songs on sheet music so they can develop a version for different instruments in the band.
