Examine the neck of your guitar. You’ll notice there are metal strips running across its entire surface. These pieces of metal are referred to as “frets” on a guitar.

To further explain, the area of the neck from the first strip of metal is referred to as the “first fret”, second strip of metal is referred to as the “second fret”. And so on…

A tab has 6 horizontal lines, each represents a string. The bottom line represents your lowest “E” string, and the top line represents high E string. Note: tabs are kinda upside down, meaning the thick string is at the bottom, note that.

Notice the use of numbers. The numbers simply represent the fret to play. For example, in the illustration above 7 means play at 7^th fret. 7 is written on the 3^rd string meaning play 7^th fret of the 3^rd string. Pretty easy!

Note: When the number “0″ is used in tablature, this indicates that the open string should be played.

This is the concept of reading tab, at its most basic.

The most difficult task that a beginning guitarist faces is tuning the instrument. As it takes time to develop a sense of pitch, I recommend that you use an electronic tuner at first. If you don’t have one, go get one. It is impossible to learn to play on an out of tune guitar. You can pick up an electronic tuner for about 2k or a pipe one at sh500, and it will pay for itself before the end of this first lesson. Make sure that the sales person shows you how to use it, and pay attention to what they tell you. If the instructions don’t make sense to you, DO NOT leave the store until you understand EXACTLY how to use the tuner. If the sales person acts like they have something better to do than educate you on how to tune the guitar,go buy a tuner somewhere else. Playing in tune is THAT important!
