Hey man, I've been playing for 50 years and never took the time to look at tabs before. I recently started taking serious lessons and my teacher couldn't believe I didn't read tablature. This is the first TH-cam video I have seen on the subject, and it's so incredibly well done, it may be the last. I might not need any others. This is really well done Brian. Thank You.
Tnx you really motivated me. Its gonna be a year for me after a few days or already. Year today I kinda was dissapointed that I didn't take that much time to learn and saw others progress of 1 years was better than mine. Let's keep rocking tho as long as we have the passion to rock we can rock🤘🏼🎸
As a new guitar player, I was extremely confused on the hammer and the pull. That was until I watched this video! This has helped me a crazy amount to understand tabs, thank you so much!!
As a biggener guitar player, I'm truly grateful for your help. This video is the best video I've found about tabs. I've always been confused about these weird symbols, that is why, I couldn't really immitate the sound of songs I was learning.But now thanks to you all I need to do is to mester these incredible Technics.
Like some many have already said, excellent! Like them, and you guessed, I was self-taught. Played a lot from 10 years old to late 20s. Then stopped. Now relearning after a 35 year hiatus. At 64 years old you have taught me. I thank you sir.
I’ve been trying to play guitar for almost 60 years and now thanks to you I can now have some sense on how to play lead guitar. Thanks I really appreciate your sharing.
Got an insight into a tab yesterday, looking at what the woman played and looking at the diagram. It got me interested and i decided to delve into it today. Your video is the second on tabs i looked up today and it simply is ... Wow! Hey, i subscribed sharp sharp ( meaning ... Quickly.). Thanks so much. God bless you.
1:20 well basically acording to the video the strings are upside down according to the thickness of strings / string order 1-6 ( if you understand my thought) of the video vs the tab part on top
Até que enfim, um vídeo que ensina exatamente o que eu queria saber. Hammers, Pulls e Slides. Vi em varias tablaturas, consegui entender os slide vendo, mas o outros dois não! Thank you so much!
@@gufurlan Notou que tem um número no meio? O 8 (7-8-7)? O símbolo interliga os dois 7, mas não o 8. Isso indica que é pra ele ser tocado em apenas um momento, ou seja, hammer (literalmente martelado).
I really was blown away when I saw notes on a staff and guitar tabs on the same page. It really highlights how difficult notes on a staff are to read for the guitar.
This Video helped me soso much, thanks.🙏🏻 I been playing the acoustic guitar for 2 years ig and I got an electic guitar on my birthday 1 month ago. Didn't understand these special symbols and I was afraid I'll never be able to play the guitar like my idols from my fav Band... Thank Satan I found u. Finally I got some clarification.
Hi Brian, I’m viewing your excellent tutorial 7 years after you originally posted it. With that said, I hope that my words of praise and thanks find you well! The information that you posted is timeless so it is as relevant now as it was back in 2014. I wish I knew this information a long time ago as it would have greatly assisted with my guitar learning skills. My only problem with tabs is that it’s notes and actions without accompanying rhythm. In your first example, you had four notes in a bar. I guess that helps, but if you have any pointers on reading rhythm into tabs, I’ll come back in 7 years (just kidding!). Thank you for your excellent video.
Very nice. Only things you might add would be: 1). Natural Harmonic (NH) 2). Pinch Harmonic (PH) 3). Palm Mute (P.M.) 4). String Rake (XXX) As these are very common on electric guitar.
Posted many years ago, so I'm rather late finding it. Regardless, excellent summary on reading/writing the variety of notation for guitar tabs. Thank you!
Just found your channel Brian, I have playing guitar since early age, I sing and mostly play Rhythm guitar, But I just started learning so soloing and lead but never knew how to read tabs. I am self taught pretty much,thank you for sharing your knowledge of sheet music with us. I also subscribed to your channel as well, so now you have another student lol! Look forward to seeing more of your videos! 🎸🙂🙏
Awesome! Thank you for the great Tab video. I'm getting to the point in my (very) beginner stage that I feel it would be a good strategy to start playing simple songs as a way of connecting the random bits I'm learning, and what better way to do that than by learning tabs!
TH-cam: do you want to watch a person talk about guitar stuff Me: A person who doesn't have a clue about guitar *YES* Update: I have ordered a guitar and will be enrolling myself for classes
now I know why I don't sound, like is supposes to sound ouch ouch ouch (been playing for 53 years!!!) after this Slash is going to be in pampers next to me🤣
This is very good information. Thank you for posting. It just seems counterintuitive to me - - I would think that the strings would lay in the same direction as the guitar neck on the tab
If you were to take your guitar in your hands and flip it directly over so that strings were now facing you...that is the view that you are seeing in TABs, chord diagrams and fretboard diagrams. This is also consistent with standard sheet music, which also has "low notes down, high notes up". It will make more sense the longer you play!
Thank you very much for this video :) I am like... completely new to guitar and wanted to start with some small stuff, so I looked at tutorials, but I saw symbols I didn't understand... you've helped me a lot with these 12 minutes :D
I’m in shocked. I watch thousands of videos and Brian Kelly sir you have made me happy with this amazing lessons. I will support all of your videos or whatever until the end Thxs!!!!
Thanks for the video. at 3:40, what do you mean by a "pull". I didn't see you pull off the string, but it still made the note sound, so what is a pull? Thanks

As a new guitar player, I was extremely confused on the hammer and the pull. That was until I watched this video! This has helped me a crazy amount to understand tabs, thank you so much!!
Straight to the point. No BS. Great Video. Worth the watch.
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I'm a new electric guitar player and this helped me so freaking much. Thank you so much dude!! You're rad.

Many years later and this video still holds up so well. Thank you, friend! 🎉
Good job Brian in 12 minutes you taught a class that needs to be repeated as ones journey with guitar continues.
I'm 27 and i'm starting learn now, this was a great help buddy, thank you so much 🎸🤘
Just what I was looking for to clearly explain tablature. Thanks again for another great video.
As a newbie,thank you so much!I was having trouble with reading tab and you explained it so well!
Thank u been looking for this see these things in tab an I figured that's what it was but thanks for clarification
This needs more views
Like some many have already said, excellent!
Like them, and you guessed, I was self-taught. Played a lot from 10 years old to late 20s. Then stopped.

Wow!
Hey, i subscribed sharp sharp ( meaning ... Quickly.).
Thanks so much.
God bless you.
Thank you! 😀
Nice to see someone explain the efficient, easier to notate and read correct tab rather than the tab used online.
Very nice lesson. I’m 67 and just learning guitar. I was so confused by the notations. Thank you for the explanations. Now I can learn new songs.
Made 6 years ago and still helps, thank you!^^
The best lesson ever of learning the tabs . Thanks bro 🫡
I've seen other videos, and this might be the most complete on the subject. Thank you so much Brian!
1:20 well basically acording to the video the strings are upside down according to the thickness of strings / string order 1-6 ( if you understand my thought) of the video vs the tab part on top
One of the best bending explanations! Thank you!
Até que enfim, um vídeo que ensina exatamente o que eu queria saber. Hammers, Pulls e Slides. Vi em varias tablaturas, consegui entender os slide vendo, mas o outros dois não! Thank you so much!
É nois kkk, nada intuitivo
Vc poderia me responder tipo, ali no 2:42, como eu sei se é um hammer ou um pull que ta pedindo? O símbolo é o mesmo
@@gufurlan Notou que tem um número no meio? O 8 (7-8-7)?
O símbolo interliga os dois 7, mas não o 8. Isso indica que é pra ele ser tocado em apenas um momento, ou seja, hammer (literalmente martelado).
I really was blown away when I saw notes on a staff and guitar tabs on the same page. It really highlights how difficult notes on a staff are to read for the guitar.
Thanks for going exactly where we need, sometimes we just need to refresh or quickly get into playing. Thanks a ton.
That is what I need. All of other videos just explain what is 1 2 3 and strings. Thank you.
This tutorial was perfect. Thanks from Brazil!
What other TH-camrs take 10 minutes to explain, you took less than 2 for that and had way more info :3
Your the best at putting examples very easy to understand
Thanks... out of many videos this one helped me the most,
Straight to the point
This vid was extremely usefull! I knew the absolute basic, but all these variation of this and that, I had no clue. Thx a lot!
Best how to read tab video out there
I'm trying some more complex songs and had no idea what these meant. Thanks for the clear explanation!
This Video helped me soso much, thanks.🙏🏻 I been playing the acoustic guitar for 2 years ig and I got an electic guitar on my birthday 1 month ago. Didn't understand these special symbols and I was afraid I'll never be able to play the guitar like my idols from my fav Band... Thank Satan I found u. Finally I got some clarification.
@Der Porkmeister Diggi du denkst zu viel nach AHSHDHDH
Your comment was on hit n would have hit that like - except you fucked it up with that Satan bullshit ...Enjoy your time in HELL lol
thank you sir, this was very useful. i couldn't find any tutorials that actually explained the symbols well
thank you this was so helpful i’ve been looking for the meaning of the symbols for so long!!
BEST 12 MINUTES OF MY LIFE TYSM MASTER, I OWE YOU EVERYTHING
Finally! A tutorial that shows how to do most of the things I’ve been trying to learn! Thank you so much!
i started playing guitar like 2 months ago and just came across your video. It helped alot, thanks mate.

Best Music Training all year!!!👍
The most useful video I've ever seen in TH-cam
Very nice.
Only things you might add would be:
1). Natural Harmonic (NH)
2). Pinch Harmonic (PH)
3). Palm Mute (P.M.)
4). String Rake (XXX)
As these are very common on electric guitar.
This was the first video I ever made. It would have done it much differently and better if I had done it today 😁
No problem. Was still a good vid.
Most helpful video on TH-cam
U’re a good guitar teacher
This is exactly what I was looking for, very well made thank you!
OMG!!! This is way easier than I thought!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much, I've been unknowingly looking for these since years🥺💗💗
I might start working with tabs, after watching your video. Reading music is so much more involved Great! Great job
Thank u! I finally found someone who makes it easy to understand. My new guitar teacher ❤️
Basically each fret is a sequential number (maximim is 19) with each string in the order of EFGDAE when identifying from smallest to largest caliber~
Another great lesson, answering another question I had. Brian, you're the man. Thanks. I'm trying to get good fast and your videos are helping.
I went through several vids until I found what I was looking for. Much thanks bro!
Brilliant tutorial!!! ...short and to the point with excellent demos!!
Posted many years ago, so I'm rather late finding it. Regardless, excellent summary on reading/writing the variety of notation for guitar tabs. Thank you!
That was a very good explanation of how to read tabs
Just found your channel Brian,
I have playing guitar since early age, I sing and mostly play Rhythm guitar,
But I just started learning so soloing and lead but never knew how to read tabs.
I am self taught pretty much,thank you for sharing your knowledge of sheet music with us.
I also subscribed to your channel as well, so now you have another student lol!
Look forward to seeing more of your videos! 🎸🙂🙏
The info I was desperately looking for. Thanx
God bless u man I'm going to get my guitar in 2 months and I'm trying to learn how to read tabs so I understand more when I get my guitar
Thank you so muchhh! 🥺
Awesome! Thank you for the great Tab video. I'm getting to the point in my (very) beginner stage that I feel it would be a good strategy to start playing simple songs as a way of connecting the random bits I'm learning, and what better way to do that than by learning tabs!
Thank you sm!! Very useful, I like it when people get to the point and explain in simple terms
TH-cam: do you want to watch a person talk about guitar stuff
Me: A person who doesn't have a clue about guitar *YES*
Update: I have ordered a guitar and will be enrolling myself for classes
How has the classes been going?
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Man your video saved my ass as a beginner and definitely a lot of time thank you
now I know why I don't sound, like is supposes to sound ouch ouch ouch (been playing for 53 years!!!) after this Slash is going to be in pampers next to me🤣

only tab tutorial that included every symbols....you got yoursself a sub dude
This is very good information. Thank you for posting. It just seems counterintuitive to me - - I would think that the strings would lay in the same direction as the guitar neck on the tab
If you were to take your guitar in your hands and flip it directly over so that strings were now facing you...that is the view that you are seeing in TABs, chord diagrams and fretboard diagrams.

Thank you man!! This helped a lot. Especially after learning hammering I feel so cool😂
I knew some of it. Chords, hammer ons and pull offs. I did not know the rest. So this was a good catch up.
This is thorough. Thank you!
