Guitar chord forum - chordie → Acoustic → playing with chords way out on the neck like 5th fret type stuff
i would like to find some songs where i can learn fast how to read the tabs and then go on from there. unfortunately i cannot do that because i've never been able to read tab and do chords at the same time.
thanks and i really appreciate it
not sure i understand
if you want to play chords at the fifth fret then you might want to use a chord chart rather than tab - you take a barre chord and move it up the neck. at each sucessive fret the chord changes one note so an e shape on the 5th fret sounds like an A
it is possible to work out chords from tab if the rhythm part is tabbed because different chords have different shapes - there are five main bar chord shapes C,A,G,E and D.
I can see where tabs would be helpfull when looking at lead parts, but I never understood why bother when we're talking about rhythm? I see tabs that run 3-4 pages and all it is, is 3 fifth chords repeated over and over and over. I say just learn the chords and be done with it.
When I play bass in a jazz band at school i read the tab for the notes and the music for the rythym
