Tablature

Tablature is a form of written music. In guitar, it is generally the simplest way to write and read music. The standard guitar tablature features six lines, each one representing a string. The lowest of the lines represents the low E while the highest of the lines represents the high e. Each number on s line denotes a fret on that string, so a 3 on the lowest line means that the 3rd fret of E is played. Stacked numbers of different lines denote playing those notes at the same time. Though no exact standard exists for writing tab, most tab looks very similar and uses a set of symbols to denote special things. These symbols are listed below.
