Guitar Tablature Basics
A tab staff graphically represents the guitar fingerboard. Each horizontal line represents a string. The bottom line represents the low E or 6th string and the top line is the high E or 1st string. The numbers on the lines represent frets. Take a look at the example below.
In this example you see the number 5 on the 4th line which reresents the 4th or D string. This tells you to play the note at the 5th fret on the 4th string. As you can see this is a very simple way to know exactly where to play on the guitar.
