As you all should know, my brother posts guitar tabs on his blog on the videos that I have posted up on Youtube. I shall attempt to teach those who do not know how to read tabs, to be able to read the tabs he posts.

Em A Bm F#Next, you notice that sometimes you will encounter these kind of tabs. It looks slightly more complicated, but in actual fact, it's pretty simple to read. All you have to do is to read from left to right. In this case, since the numbers are not in a vertical fashion, it means you have to pluck each individual string from left to right. So, the first chord is an Em. Pluck 6th string (E) free string, 4th strong (D) 2nd fret, 3rd string (G) free string, 2nd string (B) free string, and 1st string (e) free string, and continue according to what you read. Yes, it's that simple.
