How to Read Guitar Tablature – Tabs/Lead
Tablature is music notation with the help of which one can play sound by choosing which string to be played and on what fret finger is to be taped.
Here I will discuss reading the guitar tablature :
See this example…
E |----|--1-----------------7-----0-------|| B |----|-----2-----------6-----8----------|| G |----|--------3--4----------------------|| D |----|-----------4----------------------|| A |----|----------------------------------|| E |----|----------------------------------||
The 6 lines correspond to the 6 strings on your guitar.
The numbers tell you which frets you need to put your fingers on and which strings to use. In the above example, you would play the first string fretted at the first fret. The next note would be the second string at the second fret. Then, the third string at the third fret and then simultaneously playing third and fourth strings at the fourth fret as they are exactly one above the other and again next note will be second string sixth fret and so on…… Number 0 means playing the open string without touching any fret.
The best way to learn the guitar is practice. Practice beats intelligence, so practice as much as you can. Once you learn how to read the guitar tabs, play your favorite songs. Start with the single string songs and slowly move to the multi-string songs.

They are used to show the timeline of six strings. When we move from left to right, we just play the number or note which comes first. The dash lines are just a form of spacing, to help us differentiate between the timing for playing various notes on the strings.
