Zeus: Hooks

Zeus, this may sound like a dumb question, but what exactly
is a "hook" in music? I've heard people talk about hooks,
and I just don't know what they are. :|

the hook is the catchy part of the song... the main theme

the hook Come Together , by the Beatles is "come together
right now over me"

that help?

Also, is there any way to translate a guitar tab into piano
chords?
I don't play guitar, but I want to play the music to some
stuff I can only find guitar tabs for. :(
And I suck at the piano, but i know the keys and like 9
chords ;)

hmmmm

now do you mean a guitar chord, just the symbol, or like, is
each note signified on the neck?

I think it's each note signified on the neck.
Lots of crazy things like
-------0---------
--------1--------
-----------1-1-1

things similar to that--that's nothing though, I just made
that up.

ok

well....

oi

the bottom line:
0 = E
1 = E# or F
2 = F# or G

etc etc

Second one up:
0= A
1= A# or Bb

etc

3 line up
0= D etc

4th line up
0=G

5th
0=B

6th
0= E

wow, thats pretty confusing.,, but i hope you can make some
sense out of it

Thanks! :)
I'm trying to learn how to play "Shake the Disease" by
Depeche Mode on my synth ;)

Thanks!
I'm really bad at piano!
I can't play chords very well at all--switching between them
is virtually impossible for me. I end up just programming
all my music or playing notes instead of chords (which
doens't sound the same at all! hhahaha) :)

also,

i think the best thing you could do... is try to figure it
out by listening to it

i never did that, and now i am spending lots of time trying
to develop my ear.

use your ears man! it will pay off in the long run!

I learned the perfect drug ending by nine inch nails by ear!
It's not perfect, but it's pretty close! I read somewhere
online that it helps to hum what you hear as you try to play
it--do they teach that in music school? The only instrument
I can actually play is the flutophone (recorder) :)

I think I can sing well, but I'm very uncoordinated with
keys ;)
I sing all the time... I especially love bad 80's
singing--Soft Cell's non-tainted love songs are great ;)
