      TABLATURE REFERENCE

      HOW TO READ TAB

      Each horizontal line on a tablature diagram represents a guitar string.  The bottom line of the diagram represents the 6th string (the thick low E string), and the top line of the diagram represents the 1st string (the thin high E string).  Each line from the bottom to the top of the diagram represents the 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings as shown in the diagram below (in musical terms, from the bottom to the top of the diagram the strings are E, A, D, G, B, E).

      read_tab1

      A number on one of the lines represents the fret location to press your finger.  In the example above, you would play this note on the 4th string, at the 5th fret.  A zero (0) on one of the lines means to play the string open (don't press your finger on a string).

      TECHNIQUE NOTATION

      To add various playing techniques, the following diagram represents tablature notation for these techniques, followed by a brief explanation describing each technique.

      tab_ref

      Bend:

      Strike the note and bend up.

      Bend and Release:

      Strike the note and bend up, then release the bend back to the original note.

      Pre-bend:

      Bend the note up before striking it.

      Vibrato:

      Vibrate the note by rapidly bending and releasing the string with your fret hand finger.

      Hammer On:

      Strike the first note (lower), then sound the higher note with another finger by fretting it without picking.

      Pull Off:

      Place both fingers on the notes to be played. Strike the first note, and then sound the lower note by pulling the finger off the higher note while keeping the lower note fretted.

      Trill:

      Very rapidly alternate between the note indicated and the small note shown by hammering on and pulling off.

      Slide:

      Strike the first note and then with the same finger move up or down the string as indicated. The second note is not struck.

      Palm Mute:

      With the pick hand, partially mute the note by lightly touching the string just before the bridge.

      Tremolo Pick:

      Pick the note as rapidly and continuously as possible with alternating up and down strokes.

      Natural Harm:

      With a fret board finger, lightly touch the string over the fret indicated then strike it.

      Artificial Harm:

      Fret the note normally and sound the harmonic by adding the pick hand thumbs edge or index finger tip to the normal pick attack.

      Tapping (RH Tap):

      Hammer (tap) the
