How to find video game guitar tabs for free
Guitar tabs have been a great way to learn music without reading traditional notes. In fact, while today I prefer to read music with traditional notes, I learned to play guitar with tabs.
Learning video game music with guitar tabs is an easy way to play your favorite themes without knowing how to read notes. Guitar tabs have been here for a long time, and many influential guitarists have used them—That’s why I’m sharing with you a list of websites that offer video game music tabs.
It is very important to remember to support the artist and musician that created the tabs as well the compositors. While these tabs are free, there was a lot of work dedicated to making these tabs available. it is very important to share their work.
Here is a brief explanation of how to read tabs. A tab will have six lines simulating the strings of the guitar. You count them from the bottom to the top the same way you would count the guitar’s strings. The number would indicate the fret beginning with 0 being the open string all the way to 19 in most cases. Lastly, when you have numbers above the other, you need to play both of them together. I hope you understand better. The more you practice, the better you will get at reading them.
