they always confuse me.

Ninja may know, he seems to have a guitar element around him. Lol.

the 6 lines are the guitar strings

bottom is the low E (lowest sounding string) and top is the high E (highest sounding string

The numbers on the lines are the fret number that you should have your finger on.. 5 is 5th fret.. 7 is 7th etc.. 0 is an open string

Eg.. Basic E Chord would look like this :


E

---

0--- (high)
B

---

0---
G

---

1---
D

---

2---
A

---

2---
E

---

0--- (low)

The chords written above the tab are the chords that are being displayed on the tabulature


Hope that helped you!!

oh. and 'X' means to scratch or mute the string as you play.. if you work out the chords to a song, then listen to it, you'll work out the timing just fine

You been playing long? you'll get the hang of tab after a while I use tabs to get the chords, then just listen to the song for the timing
