Everyone knows how to play an Amajor chord, right? It was probably the first or second chord you learned how to play on the guitar. Play it right now doesn't that sound nice? How about this, just for fun: why not try playing a different Amajor chord? You know, one with the same notes, but a different shape on the guitar. If you've been playing for a while, chances are you can come up with a couple more ways to play Amajor. There are two popular barre chord shapes; one with a root on the sixth string (5th fret), and one on the fifth string (12th fret). Did you get those? If so, I'll bet you're feeling pretty darn good about yourself! It's hard to remember where all those chords are! What if I were to tell you, though, that there are a WHOLE LOT more places to play a Amajor (or any other major chord) on the freeboard.

Most guitar tab doesn't notate rhythm in any way, so if you haven't heard how the guitar part to the song you're playing goes, you have no way of knowing how long to hold each note. Some guitar tab does attempt to include rhythms, by putting stems on each number (to indicate quarter notes, eighth notes, etc). To see a set of guitar online games.

Numbers are then placed on these lines to represent finger positions on the guitar fret board. If you read the diagram below you would play this on a guitar by putting your finger just behind the 2nd fret on the 5th string (or the second thickest string). As musical notes this would read as follows B B B C# B A. The ‘zero' represents playing an open string. So in this case you would play the A open with no finger position on the freeboard.

But most guitarists find this cumbersome to read. And besides, if you're going to include traditional rhythmic notation in guitar tab, why not just go the extra step and write the whole thing in standard notation?
