How To read Guitar Tabs

 Guitar tablature, generally referred to as “ tab ”, is a way of notating music that empowers beginner guitarists to learn songs fast and fluently. it shows you where to play the notes on your guitar.
 Guitar tablature is the visual representation of the notes in a song. Standard guitar tab consists of six horizontal lines, with each line representing the six strings on the guitar. When looking at guitar tab from top to bottom, the top line represents the high E string( the thinnest string) followed by lines that represent the B, G, D, A and low E strings( the thickest string).
 On each line of tab you'll also see numbers. These numbers represent the frets on your guitar, which are the essence strips set up on the fretboard. The frets are numbered 0- 24, and start at the nut( the piece closest to the headstock), and run the entire length of the guitar neck.
 For illustration, if the string has a 0, that means you play that string “ open, ” or without using your frettinghand. However, also that means you must play using the first fret, If the string has a 1. When learning how to read guitar tabs, it’s important to understand that 1 represents the first fret, 2 the second fret, 3 the third fret, and so on.

 
 UNDERSTANDING GUITAR FRETS 


The guitar frets are the metal strips that run across the fretboard.
 
 utmost guitars will have 19- 24 frets. Each fret is one note or a half step from the other( which can also be appertained to as a semitone). There are 12 notes( or frets) in each octave, and utmost guitars have fret labels on the side of the neck or on the fretboard. These labels are generally at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12 frets, and can help you fluently fete the fret positions when playing.
 FlashBack when looking at guitar strings, fretted strings are indicated by numbers, and open strings are indicated by the number “ 0 ”. This shows you to play the string “ open ” without using your fretting hand. You simply pick or pluck the string and let it sound.
