When you look your guitar from abowe, you'll see the image of the neck and the order of the strings.
Your frets starts from the left #1 and so forth. When you tilt the guitar, so that you can see the frets, you'll actually notice that tabs looks like the neck of the guitar.. Or something. :D
Jep very good and clear. Started a week ago and I can already play little melodys and stuff. Thanks a lot mate! Though his site doesn't seem to work (with Chrome)
I'm not a guitarist but my guess of why the TAB is upside down is because the guitarists view is the same as what he sees on paper. In other words our view while watching the video seems upside down but not the view of the guitarists.
I think it's wonderful that you take your time and efforts to teach those less knowledgeable the guitar. Your accent is an added plus for me as well. Thanks so much. I really appreciate all that you do and look forward to more. :)
it's actually a lot easier (if you write music) to learn the note names on the fretboard, Love you accent btw, and the string are opposite because when your looking at the strings on a guitar when your holding it, the High e string looks like it should be on top
dude-------two and a half years after watching ur vids and im in a band and everything you have a massive role in me plying guitar thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
yeah he is a good teacher but I have seen way better. The best lessons I got so far were from Jam-O-Rama. net (no spaces) very fluid lessons that made it easy to learn.
Out of all the videos for teaching guitar I have gone through, this guy is the best teacher yet. It's rare to find a guy with such seeming patience when teaching guitar. Cheers, mate! (That's how you English say it?)
i actually think he's irish, notice how he pronounces his "r's," classic for irish people. but gotta admit, i got a guitar 2 days ago, and he's pretty good! :))
no, actually your fretboard is upside down :p Guitars usually have the lowest string at the top and tablature has the lowest string all the way down on the tabs ;-)
fuck this i whana reach his speed on playing its kinda impossible donno its easy song or thing 2 do but cant go fast like him -.-" i know am noob i just bought the guitar 2 days ago so dont reply say ur noob i know that already
HahahahahaBen Lowrey is such a dumbass! When he played the longer piece in the end, I copied and recorded that tab from string to string and I didn't even had to pay! I ripped him off by copying where his fingers moved!
I think the tab system is just supposed to represent how the guitar looks to the player. ie, when we look down at the fretboard when playing, the 6th string is the lowest and the 1st is the highest. It's actually a lot player to sight read with this system, cos u put ur finger exactly where it says on the tab.
I think whoever designed the tab system was trying to make it easier for someone to know that the 6th string was the LOW E and the 1st string was the HIGH E.
i think the 6th string is at the bottom cuz when you hold a guitar, and you look down, the 6th string is at the bottom, and the first string is at the top. maybe that is why it is backwards looking for beginners.
dude- I could marry you. Why do most people make it sound SO complicated to do something SO easy, and yet the second YOU explain it I got it immediately? THANK YOU.
Awesome lesson, clear and concise. I'm starting to get the hang of it, I'm currently working on moving it down a string after playing it through a couple of times, so sort of continue the riff.
The riff is catchy and very easy to remember and thus easy to tell where and how you've gone wrong, it's excellent.
ok wait wait id like to say ive been playing my guitar without any knowlege looking for lessons on youtube etc for about a month and got no where this mohawk guy comes out of no where and all a sudden im learning shit left and right....everyone else who teaches how tos................go home
To help you visualize the TAB layout in relation to your guitar - hold your guitar as if you were playing it... and then lay it on your lap... now it LOOKS the same as the tab. That's the only thing I think he could have explained better in this lesson.
Is it normal for me to suck this bad right now? XD But anyway, I have an electric guitar (unfortunately it's old and in really bad shape) and is it normall for the 6th and 5th strings to make a boing sound when it's not hooked up to the amp?
well at the beginning i had totally no talent for guitar but now im getting better and better. I to have a very old guitar, but some people at a music shop have repaired it and polished it up, about the boing sound i dont know.
The name of this song is Guitar Boogie and as far as i know, it's originally sung by Tommy Emmanuel. Just make sure to look for an older version, because the new one is way too overcrowded with notes. Sometimes less really is more, i guess
hi guys check out my vids i have some of his vids that are the ones you have to pay for and u can look for free so come and check it out. oh also if u subscrib and rate them at a possitive level i can send u a pdf doc containing the tabs but thats only if you want to so check it out. XD

One reason for naming the strings could be this:
When you look your guitar from abowe, you'll see the image of the neck and the order of the strings.
Your frets starts from the left #1 and so forth. When you tilt the guitar, so that you can see the frets, you'll actually notice that tabs looks like the neck of the guitar.. Or something. :D
