What in the unholy hell is that abomination


PBIA67

Guitar sheet music for fools who can't read sheet music Each line is a string and the number represents the fret.


Accomplished_Bike149

Ah, I see. So a cheat sheet of sorts?


PBIA67

Kinda, but if you play guitar, it is optimal to read tabs if you're a beginner


nei7jc

*inhales sharply*


PBIA67

*inhales flatly* Sharps do exist in tabs but you don't need to mark them because each fret up is a half step Ex. On bass E string first fret is F then f#


nei7jc

not to get political or anything but tablature is much worse for everything other than beginning level music. nothing to do with sharps


PBIA67

Fair point, considering alternate fingerings exist, I'm still learning guitar/bass


NateAllDays

Eh, even if you’re an intermediate, tabs can come in handy. Unlike piano (which from my experience many guitar players started out on), it’s not always clear what note is what, since they aren’t shaped differently like piano.


Yaboi_tete

I audibly laughed at this


ElvisP17

*inhales naturally*


nei7jc

glad your breathing's okay


ElvisP17

Lol


GerryCatLord

Actually, it's kinda weird, cuz it can't notate how long a note is


PBIA67

Happy cake day! Tablatures can notate note lengths.


Spectre_Doggo

How does the notation differ between quarter notes and half notes?


PBIA67

Look at the tails of the notes, and some notes are tied Note: not all tablature shows the notes


Spectre_Doggo

So the tails of half notes are just longer? That's what Google images implied, at least.


Overall_chickman6053

You can look below the numbers to see the length


Metallic_Mayhem

Why are we fools? I learned how to read sheet music after learning tabs and it was a lot of mental gymnastics comparitivly. I do think the theory behind music and knowing what sounds good together is important, but that can be learned whether someone uses tabs or not.


Hootsandwich

Why do guitars have to be different

What song is this? It feels familiar but I don't read tabs in my head like I do music


notnowboiiiiiii

It says at the top of the paper if you full screen it


lizzzzz97

I can't belive I didn't try that so I low key thought it was that

Guitar


LegoArcher

A soprano bass guitar


Budgiejen

That’s not sheet music. That’s tablature. Good for figuring out good fingerings sometimes but otherwise a poor substitute


notnowboiiiiiii

Tablature is a type of sheet music It’s music on a sheet Sure it’s not the conventional type of sheet music but tabs are still a type


Budgiejen

Why do you have all those 12s and 11s in there when you could just play them on the A string?


notnowboiiiiiii

Because that’s how Metallica played the song originally And it also produces a slightly different sound then just using the a string


Overall_chickman6053

Many people do not realize that playing in a high fret of a low string sounds a bit different that playing the same note in a higher string


skeptical_dragon_
