  • www.fuzzymonkey... Check out my website 8-) This is a video I made to teach how to read guitar tab. I'm trying to make my website more complete and it occurred to me not everyone knows how to read guitar tablature. So here it is, a Beginner's Guide to Reading Guitar Tablature. I hope this is helpful, it's been so long since I learned to read guitar tab myself I don't even recall what was difficult to grasp and what was easy. 8-) Take your time, be patient.

    I skipped this video so many times and not only did I figure out what to do with X but also that it's ok to use 1st and 3rd fingers on the first 5 frets which gave me motivation.
    Very well explained whereas other channels focus on viewership and "high quality" instead of actually explaining.
