advice
I am learning to play guitar on my own. I have written a few songs and I am pretty good at that, but I would like to learn how to play really well. I heard guitar tabs work. I have seen them but I do not understand how to use them. Can you send me to a site that has them where they are for beginers or there is some explination for how to use them. Thanks.
Guitar tabs are really simple. Ok there's 6 lines which resemble the 6 guitar strings. The Highest string is the first string on the guitar (The thinnest E string). The bottom line on the tab is the 6th string (The thickest E string). The numbers on the lines say which fret to place your finger and strum (just that string). If it has more then one number going straight down then its a chord. Tabs are good but you also need to learn the chord names. I suggest you learn how to play the G,A,Am,E,C,D,Bm,B,F chords. They're in almost every song you will play. Here's a good site
Ultimate-guitar.com
One of my favorite songs is "The best" by cartel. If you have a capo its a good song to start with if your gunna try tabs first. Here's the link
