make the note you need for the song.

to represent the musical sections of the song. Do an
Internet search on "guitar tabs," or even "Guitar
tabs for [the name of your favorite

What You Need to Know
Before you can take advantage of chord charts
and even more tabs, you need to be familiar with the
basic set up of the guitar.
The notes of the
open strings in standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E, from bottom, or
lowest note, to top) and be somewhat familiar with the frets
(the raised bars running across the guitar neck, perpendicular
to the strings). Spend some time with a beginning lesson or
just by yourself, getting familiar with the basics. !
