  • @JesusFknChrist666 exactly cause until u said it i didn't now what the 0 was for

  • When you explain the numbers on the lines (lines representing the strings E A D G B E) indicate which fret to press the string down on, you should specify 0 means an open note (no 0 fret). hitting the string without pressing it down. That may confuse people not familiar with tab.

  • Did anyone else sing out the beginning part of Smoke on the Water when he finished the riff? lol I love that song.

  • ... i can read sheet music, i decided id play some real music and stray from my guitar teachers. ... u know i looked how to play im like waah. watched this video... still confused :D

  • ... I don't get it..

  • why was there squeaking
