Guitar tab shows a line for each of the 6 strings of the guitar. The top line represents the high e string. The number demonstrates which fret the musician should play on the string (for example, the image to the left will display the 3rd fret of the high e string when hovered over). Tab is a highly popular form of notation for popular music and is therefor relevant to our students!

In Google Slide format, you will find guitar riffs written in tab notation for:

-1 string riffs

-2 string riffs

-3 string riffs

-4 string riffs

-5 and 6 string riffs

-Bass lines

The color correlates with colors that are added to the instrument's fretboard (for example, the image to the left will display the first four frets of the high e string in colors that match the fretboard when hovered over).You can find a detailed description of how to set up your own color coded guitar here.

Color adapted guitar tab adds a visual representation to represent duration. Numbers are omitted and colors are left for pitch representation. A block represents one beat, with a block twice its length representing two beats, and so on(for example, the image to the left will display the four quarter notes on the high e string in colors that match the tab when hovered over).

In Google Slide format, you will find guitar riffs written in color adapted tab notation for:
