TAC Family Forums

Technically you could play the guitar piece just from the treble clef, the notes would give the note name and duration. The challenge is knowing where those notes are on the fretboard. That is why TAB exists. So you can know where to place your fingers on the fretboard without having to know the note or its location.

Reading TAB is definitely a skill that takes to learn. Keep at it and you will improve.

I’ve been here over a year and I can’t always follow what Tony is saying, so I always look at the TAB to figure out where my fingers should go and just use his verbal description to determine which fingers to use.
