They literally show you where to put your fingers on the fretboard of a guitar for the various chords & notes. That's somethnig you'd need to know anyway in order to translate sheet music to a guitar. N> N> Nightfox N> N> --- N> ­ Synchronet ­ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com I was going to say that. The only thing the tabs don't do, generally, is show you the duration of the notes or where rests are and things like that. They assume you're familiar enough with the song. e---------- b---------- g---------- d---------- a---------- e---------- tabs are laid out low E at the bottom, high e at the top. It'll usually tell you if you need to use a drop D, open tuning, capo etc. Then literally which frets to put your fingers on. e--2------- b--3------- g--2------- d--0------- a---------- e---------- This shows to play fret 2 on the high e, 3 on the b, and 2 on the g then play the d string open. Obviously, your D chord. e--0------- b--2------- g--2------- d--2------- a--0------- e---------- And your A chord. These differ from the guitar chord boxes you see in printed music because it doesn't give which finger to use. That said, you may find some finger style picking tab p i m i a i m i e|---------0------- b|-----1-------1--- g|---0---0---0---0- d|----------------- a|-3--------------- e|----------------- p-thumb, i-index, m-middle a-ring finger There's different types of bends g-------5b7----- Bend up on fret 5 until it sounds like fret 7 e-------r2----- Releae down g-----pb7----- Prebend on 7th fret ------6h8------ hammer on 6 to 8 ------8p6------ pull off 8 to 6 -----7s12------7/12----- Either can be use to represent a slide from 7 to 12. -----12s7------12\7----- Represing a slide from 12 to 7 There's a lot of other lesser used tabs such has harmonics, tapping, etc. This should get most people through a basic tab. --- ­ Synchronet ­ End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com .
