Lesson 13: Bending strings

String bends are notated several different ways in guitar tablature. In the formal guitar tab found in guitar magazines, generally string bends are shown with an upward arrow, accompanied by the number of steps the string should be bent (1/2 step = 1 fret).
In ASCII (text-based) guitar tab, a b is often used to signify a string bend. This b is followed by the fret at which the original note should be bent to. For example, 7b9 would indicate that you should bend the seventh fret until it sounds like the ninth fret.
Sometimes, this target note is included in brackets, like this: 7b(9).
Occasionally, the b is omitted altogether: 7(9).
An r is generally used to indicate a return of a bent note to it's unbent state. For example, 7b9r7 indicates a note on the seventh fret being bent up to the ninth fret, then returned to the seventh fret while the note is still ringing.

Lesson 12: Learn Slides man

Generally, a / symbol is used to notate an ascending slide, while a \ symbol is used to notate a descending slide. So, 7/9\7 indicates sliding from the seventh fret, up to the ninth fret, and back to the seventh fret. If no number precedes the slide symbol, this indicates sliding from an indiscriminate fret.It is also not uncommon to see the letter s used to notate a slide. This is somewhat less concise, as when sliding from an indiscriminate point (e.g. s9), it is unclear whether to slide up to the note, or down to the note.

Lesson 11: Pull offs

Similar to the hammer-on, the pull-off is generally represented by the letter p in guitar tab, appearing between the originally fretted note and the pulled-off note. So, if you were to see 9p7, you would fret and pick the 9th fret, then without re-picking pull off your finger to reveal the note behind it on the 7th fret. Occasionally, you'll see the ^ symbol used for a pull-off (eg. 9^7).
Sometimes, in more formally printed guitar tab (like in sheet music books or guitar magazines), you'll see pull-offs written as "slurs" (see above), with a curved line appearing over top of the initial and subsequent pulled-off notes.

Lesson 10: wana learn hammer ons??

It is most common in guitar tab to see the letter h representing a hammer-on, located within the tablature between the original fret, and the hammered-on fret. So, if you were to see 7h9, you would hold down the 7th fret and pluck/pick the appropriate string, then hammer-on to the 9th fret without re-picking that string.
Occasionally, you'll see the ^ symbol used for a hammer-on (eg. 7^9)
Sometimes, in more formally printed guitar tab (like in sheet music books or guitar magazines), you'll see hammer-ons written as "slurs" (see above), with a curved line appearing over top of the initial and subsequent hammered-on notes.

Lesson 9: How to read guitar tabs

after you've covered all the lessons i gave on this blog. you will now b eager to learn more stuff. You can search the chords or tabs of any song you would like to play on internet, just google it and you will have the desired chords or tabs.

learning tabs is not a difficult job at all. The following tutorial will help to explain to you the basic concept of reading guitar tab. Although it may seem complex, learning to read tab is quite simple, and you should find yourself reading tab easily in no time.

 A tab staff for guitar has six horizontal lines, each one representing a string of the instrument. The bottom line of the staff represents your lowest "E" string, the second line from the bottom represents your "A" string, etc. Easy enough to read, right?
Notice that there are numbers located smack dab in the middle of the lines (aka strings). The numbers simply represent the fret the tab is telling you to play. For example, in the illustration above, the tab is telling you to play the third string (third line) seventh fret.
Note: When the number "0" is used in tablature, this indicates that the open string should be played.
This is the concept of reading tab, at its most basic.

  When a tab displays a series of numbers, stacked vertically, it is indicating to play all these notes at the same time. The above tablature indicates that you should hold down the notes in an E major chord (second fret on fifth string, second fret on fourth string, first fret on third string) and strum all six strings at once. Often, tablature will additionally include the chord name (in this case E major) above the tablature staff, to help guitarists recognize the chord more quickly.

 The above tablature contains the exact same notes as the first E major chord presented on the previous page, but it will be played differently. In this situation, the notes in the chord will be played one at a time, rather than all together. "How fast should I play these notes?" you may ask. Good question... most guitar tab won't tell you this. But, more on that later.

Lesson 8: you are almost done with the basics dude

just sit back and relax... now you are about to be a pro dude.. its just gona take alooot of practice and commitment.. its all about how much time you give to your guitaring practice.
i found a scheduled of practicing on internet when i was learning to play as biggener i am going to share it with you:

• Get your guitar in tune.
• Make sure you're sitting, holding the guitar, and using your pick properly. You'll have to correct your natural bad habits at first, until it becomes second nature.
• Play the chromatic scale several times. Try playing it backwards.
• Play each of the three chords you've learned. Check to be sure each note is ringing. If not, find out why, and correct the problem.
• Try moving from one chord to another. Before switching chords, mentally picture exactly where each finger is going to move in order to play the next chord. Only then should you switch chords. This is the key to switching chords quickly.

BOOM..!! ! just keep on practicing.
After learning the basics of practical guitaring. You will have to go through Guitar theory that's actually a universal MUSIC theory.

Lesson 7: Switching Chords quickly

The primary reason beginners have trouble switching chords quickly has nothing to do with their fingers, or the way they're sitting, or anything physical at all. Most often, new guitarists haven't learned to think ahead, and visualize exactly which chord they're about to play, and which fingers they'll need to move.
Try this exercise:

• Choose two chords you know. You will be moving back and forth between these two chords.
• Play the first chord eight times (strumming evenly), and then, without breaking the rhythm of your strumming, quickly move to the next chord, and play that chord eight times.

Did you need to pause while switching chords? If so, let's try and examine what the problem is. Try the following, without strumming the guitar:

• Put your fingers back in position to play the first chord.
• Now, try and move quickly to the second chord, and study your fingers while doing so.

Chances are, one (or a few) of your fingers will come way off the fretboard, and perhaps hover in mid-air while you try to decide where each finger should go. This happens, not because of any lack of technical ability, but because you haven't mentally prepared yourself for switching chords. Now, try fretting the first chord again. Without actually moving to the second chord, VISUALIZE playing this second chord shape. Picture in your mind, finger by finger, how to most efficiently move to the next chord. Only after you've done this should you switch chords. If some fingers continue to pause, or hover in mid air while moving to the next chord, back up and try again. Also, concentrate on "minimum motion" - commonly, beginners bring their fingers very far off the fretboard while switching chords; this is unnecessary. Spend five minutes going back and forth between the two chords, visualizing, then moving. Pay attention to any small, unneccessary movements your fingers make, and eliminate them. Although this is easier said than done, your hard work and attention to detail will start paying off quickly. Good luck!
