How do you read chords and electric guitar notes for instance there’s letters instead of fret numbers?
Can someone tell me how to read chords and electric guitar notes i can read tabs but how do you read notes example: there’s letters instead of frets
Tablature is the great grandfather of notation. A tab is a graphical representation of a string. It tells you one thing, and one thing only. It tells you where to put your finger on which string. If you change instruments, you have to change tabs. This gets difficult after awhile, so Notation was developed. Notation is less graphical but more universal. It tells you three things, where to put your finger, how long to leave it there, and what to do with it while it’s down.
Notation looks like tablature, but reads a little more differently. We start from bottom to top. The lines on the treble clef are E – G – B – D – F (Empty Garbage Before Dad Freaks) and the spaces are F – A – C – E (Plain as the nose on my face) I stuck a couple of links on to help you see. LEt me know if you need additional help.
there is a software program that uses both (actually there are several, but this one is free) http://www.power-tab.net/
Might help you sort it all out.
