Tab is your friend

I cannot stress how much gutar tab (or tabulature) can help in learning guitar.

If you have no idea what I mean by guitar tab, let me give you a link to wikipedia’s article on the subject.

Here it is, though don’t get too excited. It’s quite a comprehensive and in depth article.

Simply put, tab is a clearer way of reading what note(s) to play than a classical musical score on a stave and also shows what number fret to hold on which string.

To get started I recommend going through About.com’s How to read Guitar Tab tutorial.

Once you’re up to scratch on how to read tab what’s stopping you from playing all your favourite tunes?! There’s plenty of sites that display tab to help you learn songs from Abba to ZZ Top.

Just type your favourite song followed by ‘tab’ into google and hey presto!

Get stuck in!
