Reading Tab |
Tab is something guitarists use instead of notes (cause it's simpler).
The tab has 6 lines instead of 5.
The 6 lines is suppose to be the strings:
1|-------------------------------|
2|-------------------------------|
3|-------------------------------|
4|-------------------------------|
5|-------------------------------|
6|-------------------------------|
The 1. string is the lightest (tone), and
the 6. string is the darkest (tone).
so... An example tab:
1|-------------------------|
2|----3--------------------|
3|-------------------------|
4|-------------------------|
5|-------------------------|
6|-------------------------|
there's a "3" on the second string.
Witch means "3. fret".
So it's 3. fret on the second string.
*In case you don't know what a fret is, go back and watch the basic-video*
chords on tab:
D
1|----2------------| This is a D major chord.
2|----3------------| You can see the 2. fret on the 1. string,
3|----2------------| 3. fret on the 2. string,
4|----0------------| 2. fret on the 3. string
5|-----------------| and 0. fret on the 4. string.
6|-----------------|
0. fret means you don't fret it. It's an open string.
I guess I have told you all there is in basic tabs.
Rock on!

Is there anything you want to learn that I have not posted here?
Let me know! And I'll help you as much as I can. I don't bite.
(and I also want to know if there is someone who reads this thread)
Cause if it's not useful to anyone, there's no point of having it here...
