Or Would i go a 2 2nd fret, then g - 4 then d - 4. Im trying to teach myself how to play a little guitar :boohoo:
September 17, 200619 yr The first one, you'd play second fret A then fourth fret D and G together. And the way I would do it is to play the A with my thumb and use my index and middle to play the other two. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
September 17, 200619 yr Just visualize the tabs as the fretboard of your guitar. The line on top of the tab is the string with the highest sound. The line on the bottom is therefor the string closest to you. And then the numbers are the frets you are supposed to play. That's tab reading in a nutshell. Not too difficult, eh?
