    Hi every1, I am a newbie (got an acoustic a cpl of mths ago) I have 15mins lessons a wk with a trained music teacher, but other than that, I'm on my own. I can play the simple chords like d, g, a7, em etc. I'm gettin betta at chord changes, and can change without always lookin at my fingers. I've also tried pluckin 2. Only thing is, I'm REALLY keen 2 play the melody (tune) of sume of my fave songs!!!!! That includes alot of Hindi film songs, and plus my fave band Junoon 2. My prob is, I can't understand Guitar tabs!!!!! :( I no the string shows which string 2 play, n the number is the number of fret u shud b on, but sometimes it say's things like "this song is in the D major" well if u were holdin the d major chord down, how cud u press the string down, and pluck at the same time????? Coz both of yr hands wud already be in use!!!!!! Sorry, I'm just confused!!!!!! N also, can any1 plz kindly tell me, generally, where we find guitar tabs, r they the melody of the song, eg: if u played it, wud a person no wat song it was? Thanks alot, appreciate it.

    This refers to the scale of the song. Look up scales. (I'm sort of in a hurry so can't help u further right now! Sorry)

    Also, the tabs u'll usually find here are of the melody, like u said. But it may also be of some solo in the song. It depends!

    oh god!!!!!!!!!!
    d major just means nothing, it means the song is on d major scale not d major chord,
    just forget about it for now, and play as instructed in the tab

    there are a lot of guitar tabs avalible on this site, just search the forums by writing ex- 'kal ho na ho tab'

    the search tool option is on the top most of the site
    the tab of a song is the melody of the song

    and anyone will recognize the song if u play it,
