But if you know the music by ear, it is a handy way to figure out how to play music. Tab doesn’t usually have rhythms, which is a shock to musicians new to tab, and it sent my old high-school band director into conniptions. So, a 3 on the fifth string (A string) would be the note C, which is three half steps up from A. It’s a help to non-guitarists to know that each fret of a guitar is a half step, getting higher as the vibrating part of the string gets smaller. Numerals indicate frets, with 0 indicating an open string. On guitar tab, there are six lines, each corresponding to a guitar string, with the high line being the high E string, and the low line being the low E string-the same orientation as if the guitarist was looking at his or her guitar while playing it, tilting it to see the front. Tablature is an ancient notation system that dates to the Renaissance, and variations exist for lute, bass guitar, banjo, and other similar instruments.
