In addition, you should play the note to completely mute the pitch. Every time you see a muted note, you are expected to soften the note using your right or left hand. Muted Notes: Also known as the dead notes, muted notes are symbolized by an 'X' on a particular string. For the little dashes, those are the number of times you should continue palm muting the notes. Palm Muting: If you can see a P.M marker, that's the palm muting. Having understood the basics of a Tab layout, it is time to look into the common elements you are likely to see when trying to play your favorite song. They will signify a harmony of some kind. The chords are the stacked numbers on a piece of tablature. The notes are the single numbers from your right to left on a piece of Tab that will represent a melody line or perhaps a solo you might play. So what exactly are they, and do they do? I have mentioned notes and chords before. In case they are all stacked on top of the other, then that is the only time you can simultaneously play multiple notes. This brings us to our first Tab tip: Always read Tab from your left to your right. In other words, the uppermost line will be the thinnest, and the bottom-most will be the thickest. The topmost line is the high E guitar string, and the bottom line will be the low E string of the guitar. You are also likely to see six horizontal lines of the Tab that will represent the six guitar strings. In most cases, you will notice some standard notation on the top and bottom of the Tab.

That is to say the thinnest will be the first and the thickest the sixth. The lines are arranged in numerical order from the thinnest to the thickest.

Strings: The strings make the third numbering system.

To make the right chords, you will need to know where to place your fingers.

Fingers: From your fretting hand, your index finger is your first finger, your middle finger is your second, your ring finger is your third, and lastly, your small finger will be your fourth finger.

They will come in handy when you start learning the chords and scales.

Starting with the first fret all the way to the last one. Depending on your preferred hand, the pieces appear in numerical order.

Frets: These are the metal strips that lie along the neck of the guitar.

To fully understand how to read Tabs, you will first need to be familiar with the 3 basic numbering systems. What's more, we are going to go the extra mile and go over the common elements you see when you pull up a tab. The process can get quite overwhelming, but thanks to this class, everything you need to know is well elaborated. As a new guitar player, you will need to learn how to effectively read the guitar Tab if you want to play chords, melodies, and songs.
