| how to read tab:
The letters at the side tell you the notes the guitar is tuned to. Standard tuning is EADGBe:
e <--- thinnest string
B
G
D
A
E <--- thickest string
The numbers on each line tell you which fret to press down on while plucking or strumming the string:
e---------------
B--------1------
G----0----0-----
D-2---2--------- "Under The Bridge" by the Red
A3-------------- Hot Chili Peppers (easier version)
E---------------
This means:
Press 3rd fret on A string and pluck.
Press 2nd fret on D string and pluck.
Press no fret (open) on G string and pluck.
Press 2nd fret on D string and pluck.
Press 1st fret on B string and pluck.
Leave G open and pluck.
If more than one number is in the same vertical column, they are to be played simultaneously (a chord):
e-------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------
D7-7-7-7-7777--66--44-4-4-4-4444--66--7--------
G7-7-7-7-7777--66--44-4-4-4-4444--66--7--------
A5-5-5-5-5555--44--22-2-2-2-2222--44--5--------
E------------------------------------------------------
"Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones
This formation is known as a power chord and can be applied to any fret.
(x+2) }
(x+2) } Fret numbers.
(x) }
That's how to read tab. Play the numbers. |

| sorry, i meant that to go to dannyb. Get an electric tuner there really good, i had the exact same problem. It doesn't always matter about the names of the chords because no one remebers them like that. |

| yea, you can get electric tuners for any type of guitar, i play acoustic, but i have only been playing a few weeks. They remember the positions of where their hands go and what strings, if you know what i mean. i learnt most of this from my cousin, but he is great at guitar. |
