You will first learn a very easy form of tablature with only numbers. Tablature staffs written the ordinary way can easily be displayed in a distorted way in articles like this one.
To show how to read the tab notation I give you this note to play on your guitar:
3/2
The first number tells you to play the third fret. The number after the slash indicates which string to play. This means that you are to play the third fret on the second string. That will be the note D on an commonly tuned guitar.
Open chords are used in many types of guitar tunes. First you have to know what an open chord is. It usually refers to the most common chords played in the first position with some open strings, that is, strings that are not pressed down.
You will start with an ordinary C-chord. It looks like this:
C: 3/5 2/4 0/3 1/2 0/1
Now you are going to try the nice sounding but easy Fmaj7 chord by changing two fingers. Here it is:
Fmaj7: 3/4 2/3 1/2 0/1
these two chords can be played together as an intro to your new song for example.
You can play them like this:
C / / / Fmaj7 / / / C / / / Fmaj7 / / /
We will now take a look at a chord you will find by sliding the Fmaj7 chord up two frets. You will get the chord G6:
G6: 5/4 4/3 3/2 0/1
We can now play the following chord progression:
C / / / Fmaj7 / / / G6 / / / Fmaj7 / / / C
You will now test a chord progression starting with the common open A-minor chord that can be used together with the previous progression. Here is the A-minor chord:
Am: 0/5 2/4 2/3 1/2 0/1
By sliding this chord up two frets you will get a nice sounding chord that can be called Bm7add11:
Bm7add11: 0/5 4/4 4/3 3/2 0/1
The last chord in this progression is an open A-minor 7th chord in the fifth position:
Am7: 0/5 5/4 5/3 5/2 0/1
The guitar chord progression with the previous chord shapes will look as follows:
Am / / / Bm7add11 / / / Am7 / / / Bm7add11 / / /
We will now play a little chord progression with the previous Am7 chord. We will need two more chords to complete this progression. Here is the open Am6 shape:
Am6: 0/5 4/4 5/3 5/2 0/1
We will now alter the fret on the fourth string again and we will get the Fmaj7/A chord.
Fmaj7/A: 0/5 3/4 5/3 5/2 0/1
Here you have a guitar chord progression with the last chords we learned:
Am7 / / / Am6 / / / Fmaj7/A / / / Am6 / / /
Let's take a look at the open E-major chord:
0/6 2/5 2/4 1/3 0/2 0/1
By sliding this chord up three frets you will get the following interesting guitar chord:
0/6 5/5 5/4 4/3 0/2 0/1
It is a form of the E-minor 7th chord.
If you continue to slide this chord up you will get an A-major add 9 chord:
Aadd9: 0/6 7/5 7/4 6/3 0/2 0/1
If you move the chord up two more frets you will get a B sounding chord that can be called Bsus/E:
0/6 9/5 9/4 8/3 0/2 0/1
These three chords can replace the more common E, A and B chords in a progression.
Starting with the open E-major chord you will now learn a flamenco guitar sounding progression
First, the E-major chord:
0/6 2/5 2/4 1/3 0/2 0/1
Now, slide this chord up one fret and you will find the three open strings sounding the same but blended with a F-major chord on the strings that are pressed down. An interesting morish sounding chord. Here it is written with tabs:
0/6 3/5 3/4 2/3 0/2 0/1
The next chord to use in this flamenco progression is the E-minor 7 chord you will get by sliding the chord two frets further up the fretboard:
0/6 5/6 5/5 4/3 0/2 0/1
You can do many things with the basic open guitar chords by sliding them to other frets and slightly change them. These were just a few examples to start your investigation!
Lesson To Be Learn
Coming from a professional background in education I have always known the importance of information. How it can change and enrich one's life for the better. It's a general consensus that has proven itself again and again. So much so, that it's a given fact, information and knowledge can lead to the very good things in life.
However, it wasn't until I became a professional online marketer that I realized how effective information can truly be in achieving your goals. Even the smallest bit of marketing information can have life changing effects on those who put it into practice. The results have totally astounded me.
Not just once but every day.
I am constantly amazed how powerful the right information can be. As I acquire more and more knowledge in the Internet marketing field this fact is driven home to me each day. I still consider myself a novice even though I have been learning web and affiliate marketing for over seven or eight years now. The last two years as a full-time online marketer, but I am still surprised how information is the key to achieving online success. How just a few bits of knowledge can make all the difference.
It's mainly due to the nature of the Internet. The web has a way of amplifying and spiraling everything out of control. Whether it's the latest must-see video on YouTube or the latest Google SEO tip that becomes viral and is instantly seen and discussed by millions within seconds.
Ideas at the speed of light. Information at the click of a mouse.
I don't believe anyone can fully understand how powerful and effective the web can be unless you have first-hand experience with your own website and marketing. Where you can actually apply the latest marketing technique or SEO tip to see the results for yourself. Clinical evidence staring you in the face.
One tip or piece of information can make a big difference. Strange but true. It's the interaction this application of knowledge can have on your whole marketing system. Even just one solid piece of information can change everything.
It's the butterfly effect on steroids. Powered to the nth degree and fueled by the endless connections of the web. Information becomes a tangible force in its own right. One that should not only be respected but more importantly, used to accomplish your own goals.
Information and knowledge are your key sources for achieving success. No mystery there, but how many people actually apply it to their own situation? Limited few.
Anyone wishing to pursue online marketing, building websites, or just using the net to express their ideas should start first with acquiring as much information as they can get their hands on. Keep in mind, not everyone is chasing the almighty dollar, but for those who are after an economic return, obtaining information is still your best ticket to the good life. No matter what that good life means for you or your objectives in life, acquiring the right information will get you there.
Therefore, regardless of the lifestyle or pursuit you have in mind, you must make acquiring information and knowledge your first goal. Seek it out, don't wait for it to just magically appear. Befriend people who have the knowledge you're seeking. Be pro-active, learn something new each day. Consume information but don't forget to also process it. Use the information you acquire.
Never stop learning. It's the one lesson you must learn.
I hope you will make it a lifelong pursuit like I have done. Thanks to the power of the Internet the rewards and benefits just keep multiplying every day. Those rewards will be all the incentive you need to keep obtaining more and more information.
