How to read/write tabs

 

These tabs are designed to be very easy to read and write, so here's how

All non-guitar instruments

the letter is the pitch of a note

the number is the octave of the note (this will vary on each instrument)

+ or # means sharp

- means flat

notes in brackets with a number after them like this (2e 2d+)*2 ,means

play that set of notes the number of times that it says 

_ or ~ means bend the note to the next one

The tabs are usually very hard to read, as there is no rhythm marked,

and you have to actually read the notes. It's best to write it out on

manuscript paper first, even if you don't write the rhythm.

 

Guitars

This is pretty self explanatory, but here goes any way

the lines represent the strings (if the tuning is not standard, it will say so)

the numbers represent the fret number
