How to Read a Guitar Tab
In music, a tablature is a symbolic form of musical notation adapted to a specific instrument, intended to be read and performed more easily than a traditional musical score.
To put it simply, a tablature represents the guitar neck and indicates which notes to play and when.
In guitar tabs, the lines represent the six strings of the guitar, and the numbers on the lines indicate which frets to press with your fingers.
