Thank you for all that you do. I noticed you have some great lessons here. I just launched a new social space called MusicianMatch.com for musicians, bands, fans, and music industry professionals. Would you please create a FREE Music Industry Professional (MIP) profile and upload your videos to advertise/offer/sell your services to our members? We have some great, young, raw talent that will need some direction from someone with your skills.

Of course, you can also register a second musician profile (or just use the MIP profile for everything) and network with our musicians to make music and/or enter our Best Internet Musician contest for up to $500 in Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals, Keys/Piano, and Turntables.

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name's Floyd, I'm talking to you today from theacousticmusician.com in Sandy, Utah, and we're going to talk about how to read guitar music today. The most common form of guitar music that is used nowadays is called tablature. And that is this line here, and what it is is each one of the lines here represents the strings on the guitar. This would be your high E, this would be your low E, and this shows which fret or the position on the guitar that you would play. Now the line up here is standard notation which a lot of people don't know how to read. But this just shows finger position and note placement on the strings to be able to play the guitar."
