How To Read Tabs & Play The Songs

You've Always WantedTablature is a way of indicating the positioning of notes and fingering on the guitar fretboard.

Main Points To Remember.

There are 6 tab lines representing 6 strings on the guitar.

The 1st string is the thinnest, and the 6th string is the thickest. They are as follows
:E----------------------------- String 1
B----------------------------- String 2
G----------------------------- String 3
D----------------------------- String 4
A----------------------------- String 5
E----------------------------- String 6

When a number is placed on one of the lines, it indicatesthe fret location of note for example,

E----------------------------- String 1
B-1--------------------------- String 2
G----------------------------- String 3
D----------------------------- String 4
A----------------------------- String 5
E----------------------------- String 6

This means to play the 1st Fret on the 2nd string

E-0--------------------------- String 1
B----------------------------- String 2
G----------------------------- String 3
D----------------------------- String 4
A----------------------------- String 5
E----------------------------- String 6

This indicates an open 1stth string

E---1------------------------- String 1
B-----------8----------------- String 2
G-------7--------------------- String 3
D---------------2------------- String 4
A----------------------------- String 5
E------------------------12--- String 6

This indicates:1st Fret, 1st string then7th Fret, 3rd string, then8th Fret, 2nd string, then2nd Fret, 4th string, then12th Fret, 6th string.Further Points

Other letters & symbols used in tabs.

  • h - hammer on
  • p - pull off
  • b - bend string up
  • r - release bend/ - slide up
  • \ - slide down
  • v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~)
  • t - right hand tap
  • x - play 'note' with heavy damping

When you see all numbers in a line one after another

E---3------------------------- String 1
B---3------------------------- String 2
G----4------------------------ String 3
D-----5----------------------- String 4
A-----5----------------------- String 5
E---3------------------------- String 6

That means you play the entire chord using all fingers

When you see tabs that have "h"

E----------------------------------String 1
B----------------------------------String 2
G----------------------------------String 3
D----------------------------------String 4
A---------7h9-----------10h12----String 5
E---0--0----------0--0-------------String 6

That means to do a "Hammer On" from the 7th fret to the 9th fret and again for the 10th fret to the 12th fret

When you see other tabs that have "pO"

E-------------------------------------String 1
B-------------------------------------String 2
G-------------------------------------String 3
D-------------------------------------String 4
A---------9pO7-----------12pO10--String 5
E---0--0----------0--0---------------String 6

That means to do a "Pull Off" from the 9th fret to the 7th fret and again for the 12th fret to the 10th fret

When you see other tabs that have "b"
E-----------------------------------String 1
B-----------------------------------String 2
G-----------------------------------String 3
D-----------------------------------String 4
A---------7b9-----------10b12----String 5
E-----------------------------------String 6.

That means strike the string 5 on the 7th fret, then bend the note up so that it sounds the same as the note played on the 9th fret.

The Notes of Guitar


Guitar Notes


Note: The notes repeat after the 12th fret! So the 13th fret would have the same notes as the 1st fret and so on.

Guitar parts


Acoustic Guitar - parts

  • The large wooden part of the guitar is referred to as the “body” while the thin piece that is connected to the body is called the “neck.”
  • The strings run from the “bridge” which is on the body of the guitar (near the hole in the body) and connect to the “tuning pegs (or) tuning heads” which are on the “head” of the guitar.
  • The metal pieces that lie along the neck at seemingly random intervals are the “frets” and the neck is sometimes referred to as the “fretboard.”
  • The six strings are pressed onto the fretboard by the player’s left hand, which shortens the part of the string allowed to vibrate when plucked, which changes the pitch of the string.

Reading Guitar Tablature

The following tutorial will help to explain to you the basic concept of reading guitar tab. Although it may seem complex, learning to read tab is quite simple, and you should find yourself reading tab easily in no time.

Guitarists are a unique breed. Chances are, if you play guitar, you are either self-taught, or have taken a small number of lessons via a friend or guitar teacher. If you were a pianist, however, you almost assuredly would've learned to play the instrument through years of private study, which would include both music theory lessons, and heavy focus on sight reading.

Nothing wrong with taking the more informal approach to learning music, but it does create some inherent problems when it comes to laborious duties like learning to read music. Learning to sight read takes a reasonable amount of work, without immediate benefit, and it is these sort of duties that self-taught musicians tend to avoid.

It's never too late to learn to read music... if you want to get serious about a career in the music industry, it really is essential. However, guitarists have created their own method of music notation, guitar tablature which, while admittedly flawed, provides a simple and easy to read way of sharing

E--------------------------------------- (1st string)
B---------------------------------------
G--------7-----------------------------
D---------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------- (6th/last string)


tab staff for guitar has 6 horizontal lines, each one representing a string of the instrument. The bottom line of the staff represents your lowest "E" string, the second line from the bottom represents your "A" string, etc. Easy enough to read, right?
Notice that there are numbers located smack dab in the middle of the lines (aka strings). The numbers simply represent the fret the tab is telling you to play. For example, in the illustration above, the tab is telling you to play the third string (third line) seventh fret.

Note: When the number "0" is used in tablature, this indicates that the open string should be played.

This is the concept of reading tab, at it's most basic. Now let's examine some of the more advanced aspects of reading tablature notation, including how to read chords in tab.

Tab for E major chord

E------0--------------------------------- (1st string)
B------0---------------------------------
G------1-----------------------------
D------2---------------------------------
A------2---------------------------------
E------0--------------------------------- (6th/last string)
