understanding guitar tabs

This is for all those who cannot understand guitar tabs at all. Its

really very simple, at least much simpler than staff notations. But

tabs usually don't give u a good idea about timing. In any case it

is the most convenient way of sharing on the net.

1. First of all, there are 6 lines, each representing a string on

your guitar.

E--------------------------------------- (1st string)

B--------------------------------------- (2nd string)

G--------------------------------------- (3rd)

D--------------------------------------- (4th)

A--------------------------------------- (5th string)

E--------------------------------------- (6th/last string)

2. The numbers represent the frest on your fretboard.

E-------------------0------------------------------1--

B----------------0----0-------------------------1----

G-------------0----------0--------------------1------

D----------0----------------0--------------1---------

A-------0----------------------0--------1------------

E---0----------------------------0---1---------------

This tab tells you to pluck open strings from the last to the first

and then return to the last after which you play the first fret on

each string in the order 6 st string - 5th - 4th - 3rd - 2nd - 1st.

E----------------0--1--------------------- (1st string)

B-------------1--------3------------------ (2nd string)

G----------2--------------2--------------- (3rd)

D-------2--------------------0------------ (4th)

A----0----------------------------------- (5th string)

E-0-------------------------------------- (6th/last string)

This tab tells you to play 6th and 5th string open and then the

second fret on 4th and 3rd strings and open 1st string. Then you

return playing the 1st fret on 1st string and so on as shown.
