So,Now your guitar is in tune, and before we start playing cool stuff, there's one more thing you should know which will make life so much easier....How to read tab.
Let me tell you a little story..it's very short, but I think you will enjoy it... ready, here goes...you don't need to learn to read music, THE END.
Let me ask you a question, when you see Jimi Hendrix, Greenday, Rage Against the Machine, Blink 182, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Oasis, Santana, Bob Dylan, Red Hot Chli Pappers, Nirvarna, on stage, do you ever see any sheet music? Answer: No. These guys play by ear. And that's what I'm going to teach you to do throughout this eCourse.
For times when we do want to learn something from paper, we have our own type of written music for guitarists; it's called Tablature (Tab for short). It's easy to read, it can be learned in 10 mins, and I'm going to teach you it in this mini-video-guitar-lesson.
It's extremely convenient to search the internet for guitar tabs, you will find practically every song in the universe, and you can then print them out and learn the song just by reading the numbers. Please understand, this is not as good as actually being shown the song by a real guitar teacher, but it's quick and simple and can be a great help.
Tab is also a brilliant way of writing down riffs that you want to remember.
It's possible that you are already familiar with Tab, if so, I encourage you to watch the mini-video-guitar-lesson anyway, because you may pick up something new. Remember this eCourse is designed for beginner guitarists, but each new segment focuses on different techniques so there is plenty for you to learn which will challenge
your playing ability.
So...Would you like to begin your Journey to becoming an incredible guitarist? Would you like to be able to entertain friends and family at parties? Would you like to write your own songs and get bucket loads of attention and admiration from everybody?......Ok Good.
