    Start off with reading guitar tabs for simple songs that you’ve already heard, so you know what they’re supposed to sound like. Read all tablature carefully …

    first you got six lines representing the strings of the guitar, with the bottom one being the low E string, the second from the bottom the A string, all the way to the top line being the high E string.

    then you got the numbers that go on the lines which tell you which fret to play on that string. for example:

    if you know your chords, the first one is an open e chord, the second is an A chord, and the third is a G chord
    E—0————–0————3—-
    B—0————–2————3—-
    G—1————–2————0—-
    D—2————–2————0—-
    A—2————–0————2—-
    e—0—————————-3—-

    if you know your scales, here would be an E scale:

    E——————————-
    B——————————-
    G——————————-
    D———————–1–2—
    A————0–2–4———-
    e–0–2–4——————–

    tabs also have a number of style markings (ill just show them on one line to save space) such as:

    the pull-off (from 5th to 3rd fret)
    –5p3————–

    the hammer on (from 3rd to 5th fret)
    –3h5——————-

    the slide (from 3rd to 5th, then from 5th to 3rd)
    –3/5–5\3—————–

    most of the time, the person will give you a legend of what kind of markings they have used.
    i hope this helps

    yeah

    each line is a string on the guitar. eg

    ———————————————- >> top string (E)
    ———————————————- >> next (A)
    ———————————————- >> (D string)
    ———————————————- >> (G string) > (B string)
    ———————————————- >> bottom string of guitar (e string)

    there are 2 ‘e strings’ but the bottom thinner one is a higher pitch, but they’re both the same note.

    and the numbers are simply the fret to press on the string you play. eg.

    —0—-2—-2——0—-1——
    ———————————-2—
    ———————————-
    ———————————-
    ———————————–
    ————————————

    would be playing an open string on e then the 2nd fret on the same string twice then the 1 on the same string, then the second fret on the a string below it. so an zero is open with no fingers press on the frets.

    HOPE I HELPED

    Pick up your guitar. Rotate the neck/fretboard towards you. Look down on it. That is what guitar tabs are. The numbers represent the fret you are supposed to fret ( 0 meaning none ), and some other symbols relate to specific playing techniques, like h for hammer-ons and p for pull-offs.
