Guitar tabs are easy to read when you understand all the different symbols and "markers" used to represent the play and how to play it. In fact, it is usually the 'notes' that people make mistakes when trying to read guitar tabs. It's all the other points, lines and bars that are confused!
So, let's talk about the most important part first - how to read which notes to play and where - as is also the easiest.
When you look at a music notation tabulated, what you're looking at is a 'satellite' view of the fretboard. In other words, imagine that you have your guitar down flat on your lap and you're looking at the fretboard.
Your sixth string (the lower height) will be closer to you, right? Now imagine that you pick up your guitar and hold it out in front of you. His sixth string is the closest to the ground, while its first string is closer to the ceiling.
This is what you are looking with tabs. There are 6 lines in a "measure" the guide, one for each string guitar. The top line is your 1st string (high E) and the bottom line is the sequence of 6 (E below).
The next thing you will notice is that these 'strings' will have numbers. For example, you can see a '0 'in sequence 3, followed by a 2, and then a sequence 3 to 1.
What these numbers represent the fret position is the note that you need to play in that sequence.
In the example above, you would play a 'G' open, choosing the sequence 3, then play an 'A', choosing the sequence of 3 new, while finger on the second fret. Finally, you play another 'G', putting his finger on the 3rd fret of the string first. Make sense?
Although you will see "fret-like 'tab dividers, these divisions do not represent frets. They are more like the bars that the measures are divided. If a series of notes or chords is designed to be played in sequence, will be spaced from each other in the guide.
Also, if you go to play a chord, a range or anything involving several notes sounding simultaneously, they will be stacked vertically in the notation.
Now, let's move on to other signs and symbols you will find in the guides. The easiest thing here is just give you a reference "table":
x = Mute. This is seen most often in tabs for songs where a lot of palm-muting is used in strings to create a sound of percussion.
h = hammer-on. Let's say you're supposed to perform a "hammer-on 'open' E 'to G in the first string. This will be written on the top line of the tab as" 0h3 ".
p = pull-off. Let's say that the hammer was to be followed by a pull back of G to E. It will be written again in the top row of the tab as "3p0"
b = bend. When you see a 'b' between two notes - for example, 7b9, this means that you must bend the first note, until it reaches the same while the second note indicated by the guide.
/ = When you see a connecting rod of a series of notes, this indicates that you should slide through the first set of notes to the second.
\ = When you see a link reversed a series of notes, indicates that you should slide down the first set of notes for the second.
The above represents the most commonly used symbols in the guide, but not all-inclusive. Other symbols for things like "glissando" arpeggio and use special characters that can not be accurately represented here as they are not included in the character of a standard computer keyboard.
We, however, this lesson quickly gave him just enough to start using the guide to learn most of your favorite songs!
