All those guys bitching about this, this is the best thing i have seen on the internet since porn. At my bands first practice, i just copied like 50 pages of it and instead of covering Black Sabbath, we went straight to the creative part. Roll On.

blacklabel7 :
there is nothing to play... your supposed to write in it.. the

e
B
G
D
A
E

are the strings...

the "e" being the highest pitch, and the "E" being the lowest pitch.

if you put a "!" on the "E" string... it would be you hitting the "FIRST FRET" on the "LOWEST PITCH" string...

Can someone tell me how to read tab, and what everything means on the tab?
POSTED: 05/15/2005 - 03:03 pm / quote |
stuntsbyjon :
Tab is easy if you think of it this way...
Just look at the tablature as if it were the neck of your guitar, The letter on the left represents the strings, and their note when played open; thus the lower sounding string is E, then A, then D, and so on. Where a number is shown on a string, as in 3 on the e string, that means that you need to place a finger on the fret that is third away from the nut on your guitar neck... thats the head of the guitar.... and so on. If the numbers shown on the tablature are above one another, then those notes when played together are a chord. Remember that three notes, or more, when played together are a chord, and when there is only one number, that means that the chord is played on its own.

Hope this helps...

Jon.

What's mute note?
POSTED: 06/19/2005 - 02:27 pm / quote |

  :
A muted note is one that doesn't ring out, and generally gives a short sound, sometimes percussive-like. A common way of muting is PALM MUTING.

OMFG, All these redneck newbies are RETARDS! not talking about the people with serious questions, but all you retards commenting about the lesson and how blank it is... It is ment to show you how a tab should look and how it should be formated. Helpful article.

this template is very helpful for tabbing out songs and i refer to it all the time .
EEE:yes, an easy thing to do would be to make all power chords.. so

|-4-5-7-9-|
|-4-5-7-9-|

Bosoxfan88 :
I cant make the tab straight, it always comes out crooked and uneven. Is there some sort of tabbing technique to eliminate this? It usually hapens when I write out double didget notes high on the neck, or when I have to use parantheses for tied notes. If anybody here kows what i'm talking about and could help me out I would appreciate it.

Mellynoo :
i have just started so this might seem like a really silly question - what does each dash represent, is it a time beat?
ps. all the crosspatches need to pick up their instruments more and chill, its music for goodness sake.

Ok you dont have to be good at guitar to get this, It is a template, it should be obvious that a person does not forget to put in ALL of the notes.

The x is a mute note ccrunner1104,you play it by gently resting your hand on the strings and pluck the strings(i think.....)
