Tablature

Tablature, or tab, is a visual representation of music specifically designed for stringed instruments like guitar and bass. It uses lines to represent strings and numbers to indicate where to press on the fretboard. Unlike traditional sheet music, tablature shows exactly which fret to play on each string, making it accessible for players without reading standard notation. It provides a straightforward way to learn riffs, melodies, and solos by illustrating the positional fingerings directly, making it a popular method for beginners and experienced musicians alike.
