Tabs.


Question Posted Sunday November 11 2007, 8:50 am

I have two questions. I'm just learning guitar on my own.
On most sites I find:

E|--------------------------
B|--------------------------
G|--------------------------
D|--------------------------
A|-7--7--/10--7--5--3--2----
E|--------------------------

for the beginning but the 10 doesn't sound right at all!
The rest is fine but the 10?
Can someone tell me whether it's right or wrong?

and for the second part..

I don't know how to use my fingers. Like They don't reach and so on..
Like for this song:

E|--------------------------
B|--------------------------
G|--8-----------------------
D|--2-----------------------
A|--6-----------------------
E|--6-----------------------

how can I do that?!?!

Thanks.

Btw the first tab is the classical part of ''seven nation army'' by the white stripes. Forgot to add. :).

Kudos for learning guitar on your own! Even though I'm more of a bass player, I used to play guitar back in the late 90s early 00s.

I'm sure you already know that the lines and numbers on them is known as tab.

On the first tab, you slide from the 7th fret to the 10th fret. The slash is another way to distinguish a slide. Try it, I'm sure it will sound better.

If your fingers get sore, squeeze an eraser to toughen them up to form calluses.

I don't have my guitar with me for the second one, but by looking at it, it looks like a B chord, which is one of the hardest chords for me. (And one of the reasons why I switched to bass.)

Hope this helps! And happy learning!
