How To Read TABs Guitar Beginners BASIC

e--------- thiniest string
B---------
G---------
D---------
A---------
E--------- thickest string


e--------- 
B----5---- <= fret number
G---------
D-------0- <= fret number
A---------
E---------

Today we are going to talk about how to read Tabs and what it is.

The first thing you have to know about Tabs is basically a way for guitar players to communicate with each other what they're actually playing.

On this video from JustinGuitar' channel you will find a basic approach to learning Guitar Tabs.

(See also Easy Songs to play on Guitar)




Understanding the Basics

Tab Layout:

  • Guitar tabs consist of six horizontal lines representing the six strings of the guitar.
  • The bottom line is the thickest string (6th string, low E), and the top line is the thinnest string (1st string, high E).
  • Think of it as the treble (high) notes at the top and bass (low) notes at the bottom.

Numbers on Lines:

  • Numbers indicate which fret to press on the corresponding string.
  • For example, a 5 on the top line means you press the 5th fret on the 1st (thinnest) string.
  • The number 0 means you play the string open (without pressing any fret).

Playing Notes and Chords

Single Notes:

  • A single number on a line means you play that note. For example, a 3 on the second line from the bottom means play the 3rd fret on the 5th string.

Chords:

  • Numbers stacked vertically indicate notes to be played simultaneously.
  • For example:
e|---3---
B|---0---
G|---0---
D|---0---
A|---2---
E|---3---

This represents a G chord, where you play all these notes together.

Special Symbols and Techniques

  • Different symbols are used to represent techniques like hammer-ons (h), pull-offs (p), bends (b), slides (/ or \), etc.
  • For example, 7h9 means play the 7th fret and hammer on to the 9th fret.

Rhythm and Timing

  • Basic ASCII tabs (text-based tabs commonly found online) usually do not include rhythmic information.
  • To understand the rhythm, you should listen to the song you are learning.

Advanced Tabs

  • Professional tabs might include rhythmic notation above the tab lines or use standard notation along with tabs to show rhythm.
  • This type of tab helps you understand not only where to play the notes but also when to play them.

Summary

  • Lines represent strings: bottom line = thickest string, top line = thinnest string.
  • Numbers indicate frets: a number on a line tells you which fret to press on that string.
  • Zeros indicate open strings: play the string without pressing any fret.
  • Vertical stacks indicate chords: numbers lined up vertically should be played simultaneously.
  • Rhythm is usually not indicated in basic tabs, so listen to the song for timing.
  • Techniques are represented by specific symbols (learn them as you encounter them).
