This book uses standard music notation and tablature notation. If you cannot read music notes, use the tab written below the music. Music readers will need to look at the tab to see what technique is being used to play certain notes (e.g., hammer-on, slide etc).
Tablature is a method of indicating the position of notes on the fretboard. There are six “tab” lines each representing one of the six strings on the guitar.
When a number is placed on one of the lines, it indicates the fret location of the note e.g.:
This indicates the 7th fret of the fifth string (an E note).
This indicates the 3rd string open (a G note).
