Hotel California Solo Amp Settings
Many people will tell you it is ... so here's a few thoughts to help you "pin your ears on straight" before you make your own mind up.
Hotel California Solo Amp Settings
Many people tout TAB as the newest approach to playing guitar. But contrary to popular belief TAB or finger notation has been around since the 1500's. Early examples can be found in Italian, French and German lute tablatures.
The lute is a six stringed instrument and predecessor to the guitar that became the favorite instrument of Western Europe during the Renaissance period
TAB can also be found as a form of communication amongst various "fringe - dweller" stringed instruments, such as the banjo and the pedal steel guitar.
So don't be fooled by TAB. It's not new and it's not the answer to every guitarist's needs.
What is TAB ?
TAB or Tablature is a method of writing down music played on guitar or bass. Instead of using symbols like in standard musical notation, it uses ordinary numbers.
What TAB will tell you ...
TAB will tell you what notes to play - it will tell you which string to play and which fret to press the string down at.
TAB will sometimes give you an indication of the rhythm of the piece i.e., it may tell you which notes are long notes and which notes are the short notes.
However it will not tell you exactly how long or how short they are.
What TAB will not tell you ...
TAB generally will not tell you the duration of the notes - so in most cases you will "have" to listen to the song yourself, with the TAB in front of you to work out the rhythm of the notes.
TAB will not tell you which finger you use to fret each note.
Tab usually will not tell you anything about picking and strumming - you will have to decide for yourself where to use upstrokes / down strokes and so on.
Should you rely on TAB?
To read or not to read...that is the question.
Should you learn to read TAB or standard music notation? There's many a valid argument for and against reading TAB or standard notation. The answer rests entirely in the following questions and how you answer them:
(a) Do you want to know what you're doing? Yes or No
(b) Do you simply want to copy others? Yes or No
(c) Do you only want to play music that has been played on the guitar? Yes or No
If you answered no to question number one and yes to questions two and three, then TAB is for you. There's no need to read any further and I wish you all the best with your guitar playing.
But if you want to learn more about your options, read on ...
The guitar player who only reads TAB has to contend with the following issues :
This player can only play songs that have been played on the guitar.
Remember, TAB is a way for guitarists to communicate ideas among themselves, so one of its major drawbacks is that it only works with guitar.
In short, it's a closed world a sort of 'guitar only' club. Since other instruments (piano, saxophone, drums, etc.) do not use TAB, the "TAB only" guitarist is limited to playing music that has been exclusively performed on the guitar.
Another issue to consider is that anything you write in guitar TAB will not communicate anything to non-guitarists. For example, a pianist will have no idea what you have written since a piano doesn't have frets!
A third problem is that you don't know which TAB version is the correct one?
Since there are many different ways of playing the same musical idea on a guitar, how do you know which TAB version is the correct one you are hearing on the recording ?
Let's face it. If we typed in the song "Hotel California" into any TAB site we would be confronted with at least 21 different versions of the same song.
Keep in mind that many of these TAB versions have been submitted by players with very little musical experience. Suffice it to say that can be disappointing. There's certainly room for improvement.
O.K you can see that the "Truth about TAB" is that, taken by itself TAB is neither good nor bad. However, if it's the only way you receive information about the guitar it can be extremely limiting.
I do recommend learning how to read standard music notation? Ultimately it does have many advantages to someone who plans to play the guitar well on a long-term basis. High speed reading and recall of standard music notation is just one of the essential skills the advancing guitarists needs to acquire.
