How to read Guitar Tabs - II
In last post, How to read Guitar Tabs - I, we've discussed about the basic form of Guitar Tabs and how it is read. In this post, we'll talk about most important symbols mainly occurring in Guitar Tabs.
(i) Ascending Slide (/): They are represented by a forward slash '/'. The note written before the slash is played with picking hand and the fretting hand finger slides up towards the note written after the slash.
Eg: A 2/6 on Guitar Tab means the 2nd fret is to be played and the fretting hand slides up to 6th fret.
(ii) Descending Slide (\): They are represented by a backward slash '/'. The note written before the slash is played with picking hand and the fretting hand finger slides down towards the note written after the slash.
Eg: A 6\2 on Guitar Tab means the 6th fret is to be played and the fretting hand slides down to 2nd fret.
(iii) Combined slides: It can be played by striking the first note, and sliding remaining notes by the fretting hand without taking the hand off from the fret board.
Eg: A 5/8\6 on Guitar Tab shows us to play 5th fret, slide up to 8th fret and slide back to 6th fret all without taking hand off from fret board but just by sliding.
Eg: 7h9 on Guitar Tab means, play the note on fret 7, tap the 9th fret with another finger on fretting hand. This rings out the note on 9th fret. When tapping the 9th fret, the finger already on 7th fret remains there itself.
Eg: 6p4 on Guitar Tab means, play the note on fret 6, fret the 4th fret with another finger and quickly pull off the finger on 6th fret. When its learned, the fretting of 4th fret and pull off from 6th fret occur almost simultaneously.
Hope this helps to read the tabs correctly, leave comments below and keep visiting for more......
1. Slides
Slides are performed by striking a note and moving the fretting hand up or down the same string to another note. The two types of slides we perform are(i) Ascending Slide (/): They are represented by a forward slash '/'. The note written before the slash is played with picking hand and the fretting hand finger slides up towards the note written after the slash.
Eg: A 2/6 on Guitar Tab means the 2nd fret is to be played and the fretting hand slides up to 6th fret.
(ii) Descending Slide (\): They are represented by a backward slash '/'. The note written before the slash is played with picking hand and the fretting hand finger slides down towards the note written after the slash.
Eg: A 6\2 on Guitar Tab means the 6th fret is to be played and the fretting hand slides down to 2nd fret.
(iii) Combined slides: It can be played by striking the first note, and sliding remaining notes by the fretting hand without taking the hand off from the fret board.
Eg: A 5/8\6 on Guitar Tab shows us to play 5th fret, slide up to 8th fret and slide back to 6th fret all without taking hand off from fret board but just by sliding.
2. Hammer-ons
Hammer-ons are indicated by an 'h' in Guitar Tabs. To play hammer-ons play the first note and then tap the finger on fretting hand to next note.Eg: 7h9 on Guitar Tab means, play the note on fret 7, tap the 9th fret with another finger on fretting hand. This rings out the note on 9th fret. When tapping the 9th fret, the finger already on 7th fret remains there itself.
3.Pull offs
Pull offs are opposite of hammer-ons. Play the first note, use another finger to fret and quickly lift fretting finger from fret board. This will ring out the second note.Eg: 6p4 on Guitar Tab means, play the note on fret 6, fret the 4th fret with another finger and quickly pull off the finger on 6th fret. When its learned, the fretting of 4th fret and pull off from 6th fret occur almost simultaneously.

How to read Guitar Tabs - I
Guitar Tab or Tablature is a system of notation which enables guitarists to play music with simple symbols. Even though it stands nowhere near the standard sheet music (which is a little difficult to learn and master), it has enabled guitarists to quickly share music in internet. There is a lot of information regarding how to read/write tab across web, but there are a few essential things which are commonly seen in tabs and should be learned by all guitarists.
B----------------------------
G----------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E---------------------------->Thicker E(6th) string
The basic format of a guitar tab is as shown above. The tab layout is like if we were looking the fretboard from the top while playing the guitar. The thicker string is near to us and the thinner string is away from the player. Each line represents each string of the guitar with the beginning of the line showing the names of open strings.
A zero (0) indicates open string. So to play it, just play the string in open.
Any number greater than zero 1,2,3....etc shows fret number starting from guitar nut. Thus one (1) on the tab shows note on first fret of the particular string. The following example will show this idea much better.
E----------------------------
B----------------------------
G-------0-2------------------
D-0-2-3----------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------
The tab is read from left to right.
The first number is 0 on the D string. Which means we should play an open note on the D string.
Number 2 on D string so play the note on second fret, D string. Similarly the remaining part.
Note:
1. The Guitar tab may not indicate the timing ie. the duration by which you have to hold the note. For playing songs hearing the song and looking at the lyrics given along with the tab(if available) will help on how to read the tab better.
2. At Notes4Songs, you will find that tabs with notes only in 2 or 3 strings will be simply shown as below with a line written above telling which strings are used in the particular song.This makes the tab compact and easy to read.
"The 3rd(G) and 4th(D) strings are used.
G-------0-2------------------
D-0-2-3---------------------- "
The next part (How to read Guitar Tabs - II) of this will include how to play slides, hammer-ons, pullofs etc which are always seen in tabs and also on how to play the tab given along with lyrics with examples.
