tabs are meant to be intuitive ... so use your intuition ... the lines on the tabs : e------------ b--------- g----------- D----------- A-------------- E----------- means the strings (e = thinnest, E = thickest) the numbers mean the fret u have to press the string at (and obviously pluck the string) ... u go from left to right ... so first u play the left and as time progresses u move towards right ... like: e-------------------3-5-- b-----------3-5-6------ g---2-4-5--------------- means first play 2nd fret on g string (3rd string) then play 4th ... 5th ... next play 3rd fret on b string (2nd string) ... and so on ... sometimes we use different styles of making sound from the string like hammer-on, pull-off, slides, bends ... usually for that ppl should write a legend ...
thanxxxxxx thanxxxxxx buddy ..... but i be asking u n i hope u will be giving me asnwers as a buddy thanxxx
Welcome Hanna!!!! Tabbing(Reading) is very simple dear!!! As ssslayer has already tought u how to read simple tabs, but u'll notice that there are also some signs on the tabs like: Example1 "e-----2/3----------" or Example1.2 "e--------2\----------" or Example2 "e--------4~~-------" or Example3 "A-----2h4"--------" or Example4 "E--------3p2---------". Following are the Explanations of each sign: Ex 1: (e--------2/3---------------) A forward "/" Sign represents that u have to slide "2nd" fret to "3rd" fret of "e" string. Ex 1.2 (e---------3\2---------------) A back "\" represents that u have to slide "3rd" fret to 2nd fret of "e" String Ex 2: (e------------4~~----------) "~~" This sign represents that u have to use "Vibrato" on "4th" fret of "e" String. If there is just 1 "~" sign, it means use vibrato for a short time, and if there is more than 1"~" sign, then use vibrato for little more time. Ex 3: (A--------2h4"--------------) "h" sign represents that u have to "Hammer On" between 2nd fret to 4th fret. Ex 4: (E-----------3p2-------------) "p" sign represents that u have to "Pull Off" the 2nd and 3rd fret of "A"string.. And thats all.........
this 1 is also gud ...... if there is lke this . so i have2 strum here or only2 play that A-3 e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------1----------------------------------------------------------------- G-----------0------0-2-0-----0------0---2--0--2-0------------------------------------------------------- D------2-3----------------3------------------------3---------------------------------------------------- A--3-3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------
i am a very new member to this forum and to playing guitar. I have read a lot on the forum, but if this question is foolish plz forgive me lol. As for this tutorial, do we stum on g string while holding fret 2 only? or we stum all the strings?
