If someone described to you how to play d above middle c on a trumpet by saying “1 & 3” that would be pretty close to guitar tablature. Instead of reading a score, they show you what frets to hit.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoAnd thats it though. No information on things like how you should hit the notes or for how long.
- singleshot_ 3y agoDepends. You could be looking at the worst tab on earth, which is just lines representing strings and numbers representing frets, which pretty much require that you be listening to the song and reading the tab for it to make any sense.or you could be looking at tablature alongside sheet music, which is much more enlightening. Some folks even have MIDI enabled tablature with sheet music, which is awesome [0], but is not merely tab.

- kjkjadksj 3y agoYeah power tabs and guitar pro often have this coupled. I’d guess though most people viewing tabs are looking at the plain texts on ultimate guitar though. It doesn’t help that for a lot of music there is no official tab, only what the community has been able to make for the good of the community. Sometimes also those ‘official’ tab books are not correct to the recording.
