A guitar tab, short for tablature, is a form of musical notation that indicates how to play a guitar by showing the fingering for each note on the fretboard. Unlike traditional musical notation, which uses lines and symbols to represent the pitch and duration of notes, guitar tabs use numbers and lines to represent the frets and strings of the guitar.
Guitar tabs are popular among guitarists of all levels because they are relatively easy to learn and can be used to play a wide variety of songs. They are particularly useful for beginners, as they provide a clear and concise way to learn how to play basic chords and melodies. More experienced guitarists can use tabs to learn more complex songs and techniques.
