Talk:Tablature
From Academic Kids
I'm going to work on an example tablature for this article... any suggestions as to songs? I was thinking of something simple like "major chords shown in tablature" but if you don't know how to read tablature you probably don't know chords. If I did something popular that everyone knows like "Yankee Doodle" or "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", Joe Reader would be able to figure out how the tablature corresponds to the guitar neck. -- ヤギ

I don't know many contemporary songs that employ slides... "ATWA" is a good example but it's not what I would call a "popular" song. If anyone knows a better example, feel free to chime in. -- Ô¿Ô
How about the opening bass line to "Otherside" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Be good to get some non-guitar tab onto this page... leigh
I have a question....one of the contributors to the old OLGA tab archive (Howard Wright) wrote a tablature guide for that site, which is pretty vast and encyclopedic. Would it be appropriate to ask him if we could use his guide here? Or I suppose we could just put a link to it. If anyone else wants to take a look at it, the link is: http://www.jmdl.com/howard/music/tabfaq.html Adam Bishop 16:28 16 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Somebody less new to Wikipedia than me should convert all these tab examples to a monospaced font, and probably even add a note saying that viewing tablature online is often impossible when it's not displayed in a monospaced font. leigh
