Guitar archive contains two types of tabs.Sometimes people have a little trouble when they are starting to learn guitar tab because they think it might be similar to reading music. One of the first things to understand is that it is more like looking at chord diagrams than reading music. A chord diagram is a graphic representation of what to do with your left hand to play a chord. It is a picture, not a set of notes you read, like you would for the piano.
There is at least one thing that tab has in common with music; higher notes are written closer to the top of the staff (towards the top of the page) and lower notes are written closer to the bottom. After that you have to understand that each line represents a string and each number represents the fret you need to play. Hopefully this helps.
The acoustic guitar tab section of our site is still under construction but we are accumulating hundreds of lessons among our teachers that will be very comprehensive. The arrangements will range from early country blues classics by the likes of Rev. Gary Davis and Blind Blake, some bluegrass favorites by Doc Watson, ragtime from folks like Stefan Grossman, then into more modern tunes by Jorma Kaukonen and Hot Tuna, continuing into contemporary folk, and classic rock.
We would love to hear from as many viewers as possible about pieces they would like us to include. We might even like to have a section where our visitors could upload their own songs and even post mp3s there. Stay tuned!.
