Reading Tab music
Hey, I put a post up a while ago, it was called "Chords" and whoever sent me the Sets of Chords to play thanks sooo much b/c ir really helped me!! Okay well now that i have that done i was wondering How you read Tab music. I can only play the music with the chords above the words to the song, haha. Alot of songs i like and really want to play are all written in tab, and im like ahh! because i cant read them. If anyone can help me or know's someone who can help me please tell, cuz i really want to read Tab. Even if you know of a book i can read to learn it, anything will help me. Please help!!

This post will get moved but you have have no replies so I will tell you. Its not as hard as it seems. An example
E-----------------------------------------1-2-3-4-
B---------------------------------1-2-3-4---------
G-------------------------1-2-3-4-----------------
D-----------------1-2-3-4-------------------------
A---------1-2-3-4---------------------------------
E-1-2-3-4-----------------------------------------
Ok this means that you play 1st 2nd 3rd then 4th fret on the low E String first. Then you play the same on the A, then the D, G, B and E. The whole thing is upside down because thats how you see it when the guitar is in your hands. So, the numbers indicate the fret to be played.
Another Example
E----
B----
G----
D--4-
A--4-
E--2- When they are all of in line like this, they are all to be played at the same time, so you play 4 on the D and A strings and 2 on the E. Its a powerchord.
I'm not gonna post anymore more because there are lessons on this site about tablature, so I hope this has started you off.
