[funeralforafrie]

Cheers dude

[Sum41DudeRob]

wtf was tht?!

[MrCl34n]

thanks

[Brianmay]

this stuff is good!
cheers!

[Brianmay]

ultimate guitar would be better if there were real notes too!

[audioa540]

omg if you guys cant understand that you are all idiots

[tonynaia]

IT'S NOT A LESSON IT'S A LAYOUT! JESUS YOU ARE MORONS!

[guitarghetto]

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.

[romeonair]

Thanks for the template..very helpful

[Slice_Man]

This shit is fukin help-full for me and my band, good for jotting down/recording new music. :M:

[punk'madison]

.. huh? no note? no tabs?

[beenabanana]

i am so NOT lost now

[beenabanana]

wow and that is a miracle

[Bloke03]

that long song rite at the top is so easy to play.

[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...

[blacklabel7]

the "!" was supposed to be a "1".. i was angry

[methergin26]

mr. blacklabel7, can you teach me how to read tabs. i really want to learn how to read these stuffs. pls.... can you teach me? what do you mean 1 on the E string?

[methergin26]

uhmmm, mr blacklabel7,if i put a 1 on the E string, can you tell me which finger i will use? pls. sir... does it will depend on the position...

[weendog]

I want to start playing the guitar and I'm wondering what a good beginner pack is. If any would could help me with this it would be appreciated.

[quarter_note]

methergrin26, the finger you will use depends on the finger which your comfortable to use... but probably i'd use my "pointing finger"...

[Teddy b]

blacklabel7 - being new to guitar your explaination of how to understand the tab template is excellent.

[methergin26]

thanks!!! mr quarter_note!!!

[squirlboy]

Excuse me but what does it mean to hammer and pull off?

[DarkSilhoette13]

dude, if you want to read tabs look for a lesson that teaches you "How To Read Tablature"!!!

[SilentDeftone]

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.

spam deleted

[mikeyjames86]

Can someone tell me how to read tab, and what everything means on the tab?

[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.

[Sepultura_max]

What's mute note?

[Sepultura_max]

Ok thanks

[gibson_10]

cool

[Guitar |{razy]

Cheers guys

[vicks007_boy]

This guy is a fool, His life is also i hope empty like those strings shown

[Guitar_picker_1]

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.

[timo1]

this is stupid u can already get the templates on the site ur lazy and i dont know how ur lesson got excepted

[SillyRabbit]

man you retarded monkey shits. ITS A TEMPLATE. Your sposed to make your own tab with it

[lee727]

weird

[fenderbender111]

guitar98765432:you are a complete and total retard. whoever said 'that long song at the beginning is really easy to play' intended it as a JOKE. wow.
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-|
|-2-3-5-7-|
|-----| would be it in power chords

[javanick28]

how do u WRITE THE TAB???

[scott_vox]

use your keyboard and fingers

[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.

[Rockstarplayer]

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.

[ccrunner1104]

Im a beginner and i was wondering what the x mean?

can someone eplain it?

[Guitar Hero X]

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

cool

[BloodBeast]

This thing is so helpful, no more drawing out my out tab sheets, and wasting so much paper. Nice format. This is as great as porn.

[G-Star 2]

Ok guys, calm down and stop being so rude! Right.


To right the tab you copy and paste it to a word document or processor and it works with this tab. And to read a tab; you've got everything you need up above in those comments. And only some of those comments are actually decent.

So good luck to all you new guitarists! And to the offensive people, stop being so mean!

[GrimKage]

Man, I love this song

[jskkwd]

thanks

[Maxwell1981]

This template comes in handy. I'm too lazy to make one myself, so... COPYPASTA!
