Although it does also mean that you can no longer play notes below the capo. So the capo basically only affects open strings. Then you pretend Fret III is the open position. For instance, “Capo III” means to apply a capo to Fret III. You will often see that the tab calls for a capo to be added to a particular fret. Once you’ve changed to this tuning, every open string note you play will be a note from the D major chord, making it a wonderful tuning for compositions using lots of open strings.
This is all to allow the same six strings to produce new and interesting combinations of sounds.Īnother example is the “open D” tuning: DADGF♯AD. Other music may involve retuning every note on the guitar, and sometimes drastically. This is very useful for music in the key of D, where this note will be needed often. The result is you can play a low D bass note easily by playing an open string. Then the low “E” string is tuned down a whole step A step whose width is two semitones. In this tuning, the guitar starts in standard tuning: EADGbe. The best example is probably the common “drop D” tuning. That means one or more of the guitar’s strings is tuned to a different pitch than those used in standard tuning. Some guitar music is written in alternate tunings. Whenever you read a guitar tab, the first thing you should do is check to see if there’s any special information about guitar tuning or capos. Another is by moving up the neck towards higher frets, and thus higher notes. There are two ways to get notes to go higher, though: one is by moving across the strings towards higher notes. So going across the strings to higher notes results in a visualization on the guitar tab of the notes reading higher. The first is that when the notes are positioned in this way, notes move up as they go higher. After all, the thickest string is on the top when you hold a guitar.īut there are many good reasons for writing tab this way. To many holding a guitar in their hands for the first time, this notation seems counterintuitive. Looking at the example, the top line is actually the high, thin “e” string and the bottom line is the low, thick “E” string.

Tab shows you how to play guitar notes by showing you where to press down and on what string.
