How To Read Guitar Tab - Tab Legend

Tip: When using guitar tabs from the Internet you should remember that many of them aren't always accurate. This doesn't mean you can't learn anything from them, they do still have their uses. It's very common to use tabs to learn guitar solos for your favourite songs but if you are finding these on free sites then expect them to not always be spot on. This doesn't matter so much for improvised lead breaks which many solos are anyway in the rock and blues genres especially, so taking time to learn guitar tabs is still very worthwhile. If you are learning these kind of solos then don't get too hung up on accuracy, just use them to get ideas that can be used and manipulated to fit your own guitar solos.
