TH-cam can be a place of horrible judgement and scrutiny, I commend this channel for continuing to upload guides, tips and tricks in an effort to educate in the minefield that is the internet.
I've been playing guitar for 5 years. I'm only now learning to read tabs🐒 Edit: I keep getting notifications about this comment and one thing I must say is time is fake. TIME IS FAKE. There is no way I commented this 2 years ago. There is no way this video was uploaded 2 years ago. TH-cam is lying. This has was minimum 3/4 years ago. And no one can say otherwise. Also I just watched interstellar for the first time. So I know my story.
As someone who did piano for years in their teens and is finally trying out guitar, it felt a bit overwhelming reading tabs. Neurospicy brain was not allowing me to figure this out. This put it into terms that not only I understood but got me excited to pick this up again. Thank you!
Wow! I just started learning guitar. Everything and every lesson seemed impossible until I watched you. Thank you so much! I'm excited to learn now! You're awesome! Thanks again
I was literally in CONFUSION when I was learning this in my guitar class. I’ve never been this confused learning about anything in my life lol Why is this so hard, I feel like my brain is not turning.😂 This video helped a lot.
I taught that tabs were so complicated…you didn’t even hafto explain the stacked numbers I instantly knew that it was the G Chord because of how clear the video was…THANK YOU…YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!
Me: *looking at tabs* okay this kinda makes sense *watches video* alright, I think I'm good *looks back at tabs* wait what does "0h2p0" mean? Video: we're not gonna talk about letters Me: crap.
I learned to read tabs by myself without any tutorials..lol it just kinda clicked while I was looking at some tabs and I was like “OHHHHHH I GET IT” then proceeded to try to play it.. ah I was so proud of myself that day..good luck to people who learn and play the guitar!!
I’ve been playing guitar for two years but what always holds me back is pushing beyond standard chords into picking, especially cos I do not know how to read tabs.. nice tutorial ^^
Quick and simple explanation; much appreciated. In my head, the top string matching the top line makes more sense than "the way it is" so I know what to work with-the opposite. Thank you for making this video.
Hey yo my dude first of all let me say thank you that was really clear tutorial of how to read tab I've been playing guitar around 13 years and I'm embarrassed to say I never learned tab I've been in multiple bands and always played by ear or visual reference thanks my dude🇺🇸🍻
I’ve been playing guitar for a year now and I just started using tabs yesterday and It’s awesome to be able to play actual songs. I’m hooked on playing guitar!
I’ve never played the guitar before but I’ve played the piano for years and I’m figuring out songs on my brothers guitar. Its probably good to learn chords but I cant sing so I’d rather just play melodies
this helped me so much bro, i didn’t realize i was only one google search away from having a basic understanding of guitar tabs. thank you so much man🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'm so glad I found this. You are so into presenting the fundamentals and it's interesting to watch. I'm a beginner but I've studied the strings and chords so much because of my work schedule that I can now play them. The videos are brief but very basic to the point. Thank you.
Found you because of a comment on another video about worst auditions for American idol Australia. I'm so excited just listening to the first 2 minutes I realize I can learn to play guitar. New subscriber here and looking forward to spending time with your channel learning something I've always wanted to learn.
I was getting very confused with tabs, I know how to read regular sheet music from playing other instruments but this truly had me stumped 😂. Thank you for explaining it so well. One question tho, if there is no number on a string does that mean it isn’t played?
I wanted to learn guitar since I was in 4rth grade...thanks now I'm able to understand a bit when I watch tutorials...remember you nice you keep going💜💜
I thought the way the strings were arranged (top to bottom/bottom to top) was counterintuitive. Should be the other way around. But this is my firs attempt of any kind to learn to read and/or write music in any way, so if I keep it up I'll hopefully see the light sooner rather than later. Thanks to everybody who puts tutorials like this up for the benefit of us lesser mortals.
I've only just started to learn guitar and had a little trouble reading the Tablature but this helped a lot and was really easy to understand! So thank you!
as a kid i spent a whole summer in a Guitar class learned nothing and quit guitar, and when i asked the teacher about it they basically said i was just bad. THE TEACHER NEVER WENT OVER THIS!!! im happy im giving it another go and now theres youtube😅
Today is 12/9/22 , time stamped 4:04 but I’m the tiny state Rhode Island & it’s 2:29pm -ish Thank you. I was playing them up side down I’m starting to wonder what my issue is because I still can’t hold guitar. It slides! I’ve tried every recommendation. Is it possible this guitar is too big for me?? Do they make smaller full size acoustic guitars?
This really was a great tutorial. You have a gift of teaching because… I understood instantly when you explained it… yet, I have been trying to learn this for awhile… and I thought, ‘just click on a teacher you’ve never seen before, not the regular teachers you click on’, and I understood everything immediately! I mostly play the ukulele, which is why I never came here before, but you are an excellent teacher!!! I have a guitar too… so, I may take it out and come back! ^_^
A simple, small and accurate tutorial is rare on TH-cam these days. Would def sign up for that
Abhinav Singh most of them at the beginning are like, “YO GUYS BEFORE THIS VIDEO STARTS JOIN MY GIVEAWAY!!!!”
@@sag6445 more like: before the video starts, lets see how my vacation was. 30 minutes later. hope you have a great weekend.
definitely worth a like for that reason
Worldly things won’t satisfy anyone. What you’re really searching for is Jesus Christ
@@evaaleman1565 Jesus would laugh at your comment lmfao
His beard and mustache made me trust him
his tattoos and gangsta jeans made me trust him

Man, you were so close to calling it "from zero to guitar hero"

MrAmazing2803 ughh samee
Same I’ve been playing for a year now
Whut? What made you wait?
@@achannelhasnoname5182 Idk. I just kept passing it off thinking learning tabs aren't necessary or I'll do it later.
Glad someone’s like me. I’ve been playing for 3 years and have no idea how to use finger style or anything, been using a pick 💀
As someone who did piano for years in their teens and is finally trying out guitar, it felt a bit overwhelming reading tabs. Neurospicy brain was not allowing me to figure this out. This put it into terms that not only I understood but got me excited to pick this up again. Thank you!
How can anyone dislike this? Your tutorial was the most simplest easiest and most well made I could find on TH-cam. Thank you!!!!
Your voice is so calming, I wish my teachers sounded like this! Thank you!!!
Good simple explanation. ...so what dimwit originally invented this method upside-down to where the guitar strings actually are? why?
I thought it was just my guitar finally someone like me
😂😂😂😂 i know right😒
Pen Fold that’s exactly what I asked lmao
If you look down while playing, low E will appear on the "bottom" of the neck, while high E will appear on the "top"
EGG-FREAKING-Xacltly 🥺😭
Wow! I just started learning guitar. Everything and every lesson seemed impossible until I watched you. Thank you so much! I'm excited to learn now! You're awesome! Thanks again

*looks back at tabs* wait what does "0h2p0" mean?
Video: we're not gonna talk about letters
Me: crap.
play open string once, hammer on to the 2nd fret, pull off to 0 again i.e. open.

I’ve been playing guitar for two years but what always holds me back is pushing beyond standard chords into picking, especially cos I do not know how to read tabs.. nice tutorial ^^
Brooooo such a goat I was so confused on how the tab works thx for the explanation
Quick and simple explanation; much appreciated. In my head, the top string matching the top line makes more sense than "the way it is" so I know what to work with-the opposite. Thank you for making this video.
Such a great video. I was inspired by this and also started at age 39. Im 6 weeks in and enjoying this very much

Short and concise. These are the videos that help me to learn to play the guitar.
I'm a piano player and this helped me alot to understand how guitar tabs work, now I can play cool guitar sings on my piano
I’m a piano player and I’ve been trying to learn easy piano songs on the guitar by trial and error. This will help

Helpful thanks. I play violin and piano but now Trey Anastasio made me want to play guitar. Also Dan Auerbach and Early James and Magnus Karnebro.
