Guitar Lesson 3

This lesson deals with metronomes and Tab. Tabs are a way that the guitarist can easily learn a song without learning sheet music. Tabs are recommended because of their easiness to read, but unlike sheet music, can be very inaccurate due to no tempo or information on the beat.

Also I could not include this in the video but heres an answer to a previous question:

Electric guitars are cool, because you can make them sound different. You could put various levels of distortion or clean or other things like more bass and etc. Clean essentially mean you are making the guitar sound acoustic. My electric-acoustic guitar is kinda unique because its a half and half. Half electric (there are no pickups (their the things on the electric guitar where the hole should be) ) and half acoustic (low sound due to body). When unplugged, it sounds exactly like an acoustic though a little quieter. When plugged in, it can sound like a loud acoustic or like an acoustic with distortion but it won't really sound like an electric because I have no pick ups. Pretty much my guitar is an acoustic that can be connected with an amp and add bass and depending on the amp other things like distortion.

If that does not answer any questions or if you have more questions please comment!

  2. Dude, metronomes were my nemesis when I grew up learning piano. Do you play any other instruments, and how does learning the guitar compare, if so?

  3. Do you prefer reading tab or sheet music? I know that sheet music for guitar gets pretty insane at the higher levels of difficulty, because of all the different chords. And cool guitar, btw!

  4. Tab. Its is much more easier and if you know the song pretty well, you can come close to the tempo of it
