    Hey man, I've been playing for 50 years and never took the time to look at tabs before. I recently started taking serious lessons and my teacher couldn't believe I didn't read tablature. This is the first RUclips video I have seen on the subject, and it's so incredibly well done, it may be the last. I might not need any others. This is really well done Brian. Thank You.

      Tnx you really motivated me. Its gonna be a year for me after a few days or already. Year today I kinda was dissapointed that I didn't take that much time to learn and saw others progress of 1 years was better than mine. Let's keep rocking tho as long as we have the passion to rock we can rock🤘🏼🎸

    Hi Brian, I’m viewing your excellent tutorial 7 years after you originally posted it. With that said, I hope that my words of praise and thanks find you well!
    The information that you posted is timeless so it is as relevant now as it was back in 2014.
    I wish I knew this information a long time ago as it would have greatly assisted with my guitar learning skills.
    My only problem with tabs is that it’s notes and actions without accompanying rhythm. In your first example, you had four notes in a bar. I guess that helps, but if you have any pointers on reading rhythm into tabs, I’ll come back in 7 years (just kidding!).
    Thank you for your excellent video.
