Thanks for your reply. So when looking for songs to play, I should play the chords and not the tabs? It seems like a lot of people say they learn to play a song using Tabs. To me that would sound kind of bland if you are just playing one string at a time. Also, how do you know what the strumming pattern would be when using the chords for the song? I am very new to this and I haven't really learned strumming patterns yet but when searching for some songs to learn it doesn't seem as easy as everyone makes it out to be.
