So you're learning how to play guitar are you? Great! We are happy to help. Every guitarist should be able to read tab.

There are very different symbols to represent techniques than on normal sheet music so we are here to help guide you through each of them.
Our expert, Bryan Billhimer, will show you many of the symbols associated with a piece of tab music including half, whole and even 2 step bends. He will continue and show you how to read different levels of vibrato, palm muting, raking and even double picking. Looking at a piece of tab it might seem daunting but trust us, our expert will not let you down. Watch these videos and you'll be flying accross the neck in no time!
