Guitar Tabs For Beginners
I have decided to do this lens on Guitar tabs for beginners after my successful Easy Guitar Tabs blog.There seemed to a need for a more basic introduction for people starting out with their guitar.So here we are.
So where to start?
At the the beginning.
Guitar tabs or tablature to give it's full name,is an very old way of music notation. The method of notation can be used for other instruments as well as the guitar.For example, the drums,banjoe and a number of others.
I'll do a quick run through here but to see my little guide over on my HubPage .
Right the run through.
6 horizontal lines on a tab,they are the 6 guitar strings. The bottom of the tablature staff starts with the low E string (the thickest string), then come strings A, D, G, B and the high E string (the skinniest) is on top of the staff,just as in the picture 1 above.
Next we are going to put numbers on the tablature lines. The numbers tell you what frets you have to place your finger on. 1 means you have to put your finger on the first fret of the appropriate string, 2 means the second fret, 3 the third one, ... A 0 on a guitar tab means and open string.
With me so far?
