How to Read Guitar Tabs

Guitar tablature is probably the easiest and most used method for guitar notation. On the internet, you can find guitar notation for almost any song that you want to learn. Tablature is easier to learn than traditional music notation because it relates directly to the fret board of the guitar, indicating where your fingers should be placed. Although it is an easier method to learn it still has its weak points, the main one being that you can't easily indicate rhythm on tablature. This means that when you learn a song you have to learn the strum from the song itself.

The following diagram shows you how tablature relates to the guitar fret board:



We use numbers to indicate the string and the fret position that you are supposed to play. Each fret is numbered, starting at the nut of the guitar at O and moving upwards towards the bridge of the guitar. The following diagrams demonstrate this principle.



The 3 on the above tablature score (Tab. diagram 1) indicates to you that you place a finger on the third fret of the sixth string. It is the note G.



Diagram here.The 1 on the tablature score (Tab. diagram 2) on the last page indicates to you that you place a finger on the first fret of the third string. It is the note C.



The O on the above tablature score (Tab. diagram 3) indicates to you that the third string is to be played open. This means that you don't need to place a finger on it. It is the note G.

Great blog. You've just taken an hour of my life but it was well worth it.

I love tabs. Why make things complicated when all you want to do is bash out a tune.

There are loads of acoustic guitars listed here Acoustic Guitars and it has some tabs to download.
