Re: Question for u all

firstly,

why has this been given lots of stars , showing the topic to be of great interest when no one has replied but 60 odd people have read it?  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">


Anyway, tabs, I hate them. I much prefer to use chords and strum, since I am a strummer.

Tabs are more accurate for how to play a song, they tell you the exact notes to play.

When you see the song in tab form it is possible to get the chords from it by looking at the pattern of what notes are getting played.


So, are you missing out? well depends on what your style of guitar playing is like or what you want it to be like. I wouldnt say I am missing out since I am happy being a strummery sort of player, but if you want to go more advanced than just strumming then I would say  YEAH, yer missing out ,lol

Re: Question for u all

After enough practice you'll be able to tell the chord from the tab.  You'll look at a particular tab and say "Oh, thats 'E'."

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: Question for u all

Tablature is just playing by numbers. Look at the Tab and you will see six lines each is a string. The top line is the first string or the high E. Second line is a B third is a G and so on. All the numbers on the line represent the frets that the string is played on.


Exaple:


E---------3----

B---------2----

G---------3----

D---------0----

A--------------

E--------------


This example is a D cord in tablature form.
