Learn to read guitar TAB (tablature) for acoustic guitar

Learn more new music just by learning how to read guitar TAB or tablature.

Course Summary

Welcome to beginner guitar tablature (TAB) for acoustic guitarists!

In this course, you will unlock the secrets of reading guitar tablature and applying it to your acoustic guitar playing.

Guitar tablature is a powerful tool that not only reveals the timing and note names but also guides you on finger placement across the fretboard. With six lines representing each string on the guitar, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of this notation system.

We'll dive into the world of guitar tablature by dissecting an acoustic guitar fingerpicking arrangement designed for two guitars. You can choose to play it as a duo with another guitarist or hone your skills by practicing each part separately using the provided tracks. Throughout this journey, you'll also learn about time signatures, note lengths, reading music, and perfecting your finger positioning to flawlessly execute the arrangement.

The instrumental piece we'll be working on is called 'Sharon,' originally composed for my beautiful wife and later transformed into an instrumental track, recorded by my friend Luke Turner, which you can find on Spotify.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your acoustic guitar skills, this video will equip you with the knowledge and techniques you need to read and play guitar tablature like a pro.

Let's dive in and make beautiful music together!

Hey, I'm Chris!  

I stepped foot into the wonderful world of music a mere 35 years ago and since then it has been my biggest passion in life.

Music has helped me through challenging times and led me to be creative, but the most incredible thing music has given me is life experienece. Experiences that you wouldn't get in any other profession or hobby.  

My goal in teaching these courses is to help give anyone and everyone the opportuinity to learn an instrument and use what they learn to create something for themselves. I won't focus on only covers or confine you to only learning enough to get by. I want to teach you to be creative in your own way and help you find your sound.  
 
Over the years I have been a music mentor and assisted in launching the careers of aspiring singer songwriters and musicians from rural Australia. My passion is to help people achieve their 'firsts' within the music industry, first song on the radio, first single, first album release, etc. I have worked with many professionals and amateurs in the music industry. I have worked with artists from releasing their songs, recording their EP and moving on to recording contracts, performing at major Australian festivals, touring and starting their own music businesses.  

I have been a student, a teacher, a mentor, a touring band member, "the sound guy", a music producer, I have travelled across parts of Europe playing many different instruments and I have loved every second of it!

I hope you enjoy my courses and thank you for taking the time to learn something new!
