How to read tab
Tablature is a way of writing things down for guitar so that you know which notes to play, which order they come in, and where to find them on the guitar. You don’t need to be able to read conventional music notation to understand and play tab straight away. Most people find that once they understand how it works, it’s quite straightforward. It’s very useful to be able to read tab because you can then play all kinds of pieces, melodies, riffs and other things.
Check out the short video above and soon you’ll be playing melodies and riffs all over the place. Don’t worry if you don’t understand it straight away; feel free to view the video a couple of times. You can get help in your next session if you have any questions.
