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.
