There are also special notations on tabs for hammer ons, slides, harmonics, bends, percussive rhythm guitar.
I would classify this as musical notation.
It's hard to read, but once you know it it makes sense. If someone doesn't know the genre (rock, funk, metal etc) then it makes no sense.
- cratermoon 3y agoIn traditional musical notation: hammer-on & pull-off: slur, notation is a curved line, sometimes dashed connecting notes. slide: notated as legato, glissando, portamento, all different, in subtle ways, to "slide" harmonic: notated in classical guitar with a diamond-shaped head. percussive is tambor bend: notated using an angled line between the noteheads at the start and end. All those tab notations are borrowed from traditional notation. And yes, there are classical guitar pieces that use all these techniques. see e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbc2yDvt8RM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbc2yDvt8RM
