I'm a hobbyist musician like many of you. I want to try putting together some synthwave-y covers of 60s-80s soft pop rock stuff. I am doing this because I want to and do not need any of you to remind me that I'm the only person in the world who wants to hear that.
I'm self-taught with my DAW and have never played an instrument, so I'm running into problems trying to score based on sheets or tabs. What I hoped when I started preparing for this project was that I'd find somewhere online saying "this song uses this chord progression for its verse structure, then switches to this for the chorus, and changes to this key during the bridge." I cannot read tabs or sheet music and I have not found anything other than tabs or sheet music that will convey this information. The internet is not giving me what I want in the format I want.
Thread topic is thread title.
I am bumping this thread because I would like to receive at least one answer to my question.

There's almost certainly someone on youtube or some free class online somewhere that could teach you to read music. I don't think you're trying very hard if you can't find something desu. Even going so far as downloading a music theory book would take you maybe 30 seconds

it's not hard to read sheet music, literally learn about the bass (f) and treble (g) cleffs and How To go upwards and downwards and your pretty much done.
Most chords are made up Of The first, third and fifth notes in the scale so a maj is ACE ,etc. Literally use the internet ou sperg.

>basic reading
buy a book on elementary music education (actually read it, too)
look up the internet more
>eloquent reading and understanding musical intricacies inbetween
take piano lessons and play play play
study real hard squeezing out your teacher
buy many books on music theory which you also must read
you better have fun with mathematics
