I am have a lot of trouble learning to read guitar tabs. I am a beginner do not take lessons. I am in need lots of help. Really just with reading tabs. Please if it helps the song I have the tabs for "weightless-All time low". By the way i have an Acoustic Guitar.
i am not planning to take lessons because, i have no way to get there. I signed up at one point so all i need is help with tabs :]



Answer
hold on, i'll explain..just hold on lol. okay:

here are some tabs from the song "The Saltwater Room"
by Owl City:

e|------------------------------------------|
B|--------3-------0-----------3-------0--|
G|------0---0---0-----------0---0---0----|
D|----2-------2-----------2-------2------|
A|--3-------------------3----------------|
E|---------------------------------------|

I know it looks hard, but it's super easy.
First, make sure the neck of your guitar is pointing left(<- this way) Now, the 'E' represents the string way at the very bottom of your guitar(lowest string). And 'e' represents the string way at the top (highest string). I'm hoping you can guess what all the strings in between represent.

This part is a little hard.
The numbers on the strings represent the fret. So for example, I would strum an 'A' on the third fret, and a 'D' on the second fret. When you see a '0' it means that you don't hold that string down. Just strum it like you see it.

You should practice that song i used as an example. It's so easy. It's only three notes..if that's what you call it lol. Just practice until you get it right. :D

Btw, i barely learned how to read tabs after i first read your question. ^_^ if you need to ask me anything, just email me.[:

What are the chords for On Top of the Universe by Steam Powered Giraffe on acoustic guitar?




Amber


Does anyone know the chords for Steam Powered Giraffe's song On Top of the Universe? My friend and I are playing it in class as a part of our project grade in our AP English class after spring break since the song's style is similar to that of music in the 1920's. I've tried to find the chords to play it on the acoustic guitar but could only find them for the ukulele.


Answer
Chords in music are any harmonic set of three or more notes that is heard as if sounding simultaneously - no matter if it is for piano, guitar or ukelele. Take the chords which you can get.
