HOW TO READ TABLATURE

Actually, I didn't know how to read Tabs or even music scales. I used to download the simple tabs from the internet, now I want to share how to start with the simple things in guitar tabs. here's how it works...





Firstly, people will think that tabs start on the top strings, but actually not.
here's the simple picture:







these pictures show you how to start with the tabs.

it's a simple. aite??
now I'll give you the Legends of tabs, here they are:

PM : Palm Mute (stroke and hold your palm among the stings) the sounds will be; jap-jap-jap or even no sound at all, it's depends on your palm.




/= slide : slide your finger on the string and move to another octave or higher-lower voice.

PH : Pinch Harmonics, its a quite difficult technique, it needs lot of practice, actually, it is simple, just hold your Pick and make a single stroke while your thumb hold the stroked string, ex:





now, try to read it..



when you start to read the tab, for sure, you should know and get used to the song that you try to play!! it's totally different with music scale, TAB HAS NO TIMING!!..

just try and lot of practice...
