More Guitar Lessons - http://bit.ly/TrueFire

Reading, writing, and playing tablature is centuries old; going back to the Baroque era and possibly beyond.

Tab was a great way to learn music back then and it continues to be today, probably because it's so easy to read!

  • @kekambas79 i havent got that far yet. loll. soon im going to post a video of me playing the guitar im getting better everyday.

  • @17PunkPurple97 Have your gotten any faster with the c major scale? I know the scale. I just need to speed it up.

  • @kekambas79 like idk 2 weeks ago i know all the notes, but i have trouble moving my fingers on the guitar cuz they move them really fast.

  • @17PunkPurple97 You are not alone. I'm trying to teach myself also. At this moment I cannot not afford to pay for lessons. When did you start playing?

  • there is plenty of hate against tablature, but for many, being able to play the song is the priority. It is better to understand notation and position playing earlier rather than later, but please don't hate on the tool or the "tools" that use it (as you might have them)

    regardless, everyone has to start somewhere

  • I don't know what it is about learning how to read music that scares people.

    Reading tabs takes effort too. After you learn it you won't be applying the technique to a piano or something else either.

    Learning to read music can take you to any instrument, plus make you more proficient and able to play with others better in the long run.

  • TAB will not teach someone to play guitar.. it's the easy way for the uninitiated who can't or won't use their ears. I've saw someone on youtube ask for tab on a 3 chord progression that could be instantly figured out by watching the video .. ! lol

  • I learned to sight read quickly, and it isn't as hard as everyone thinks. I wish TAB didn't exist.

  • i was just wondering if so stupid that they need help on reading a tab how did they manage to get to youtube?

  • I'm thee firstt onee to comment ! (: I need major help to learn how to play my guitar!! (:
