Guitar Hey I'm trying to look up guitar tabs for nirvana and I went to a website but I'm not sure how to read them.
Can anyone explain please?
I want to learn "smells like teen spirit." I tried asking my brother for help because he used to know how to play it but he hasn't in a while and probably too busy to help me now..
so if it's possible can anyone explain this to me so I could try to learn it?

hah one of my specialties i love guitar how you read tabs: well the staff is 6 rows on tabs (4 for bass tabs) well when they are on tab the top string on your guitar is the very last string or row on the tablature so you read it upside down in a way and sometimes letters or symbols mean to do a certain thing like h= hummer but its not easy to teach how to play songs through internet but you might wanna get some help from some who lives by you who knows how to play but you asked how to read it so you can play it if this doesnt help im sorry but i hope i helped have fun with that
oh and some other sites you might wanna try to look at tabs are [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) thats where i go for tabs ]
Ok, here's how you read the tabs:
E ---(3)-----------------------------
B ---(3)-----------------------------
G ---(0)-----------------------------
D ---(0)-----------------------------
A ---(2)-----------------------------
E ---(3)-----------------------------
Ok, the lines represent the strings of a guitar. The numbers in parentheses on the lines represent which fret the fingers are on. For example, the chord G is shown on the tab above. This is a pretty easy way to read guitar music...more like cheating. But I find it MUCH easier than reading it like you would read...say...piano music. ]

well, you see thoes numbers on the lines. Thoes are the fret numbers. They are number 1- like 14 or something. The line at the top is the top string wich is the highest sounding one, the thinest string.
heres an example of a tab so i can show you:
1-3------4------1-----6
2----2-------4-----5----
3--------4------10-----
4----------------------
5----------------------
6---------0--------------
(Dont try and play it cuz i just made it up)
You see the 3 on the top line, that means you play the third fret on the top string, which you can number 1 to 6, depending on how high string sounds. on the line i have numbered 2, as you can see, you play the second string wiht you finger holding the string down on the 2nd fret. The frets have little dots on them, one dot for the third fret, one for five and two for the seventh fret.
You see the the line i have numbered 6,and there is a 0, that means you play the bottom string (the thickest one) without holding any strings down.
THe lines show the string you play the note on and the numbers show which fret you hold down the string on. Its realy quite simple after you get the hang of it.
i hope thins helps. if its not quite clear enough please email me at passionflower384@aol.com. ]
