In case anybody's planning on laying that tab, don't. The chords are all "Gm7-flat 5th" and such, which means jack squat. Also, no diatonic or pentatonic key has notes on the 1, 3, and 5 frets of every string. In other words, if you played this, it would sound like ping-ping-blat-ping-ping-blat (repeat)

It's called open tuning. I think tomorrow I shall break down and actually record this. I've got my resonator set up in open D right now, which would be perfect.
Delta blues tabbed out to tits would be.. well, tits. Time to break out the brass slide.

the van halen / dead kennedys thing is totally mid-to late 80's HS. but nobody said 'hella' or 'hell of' back then.
that (those) linguistic artifacts originated in NorCal in the early 90's and trickled down to SoCal no sooner than the mid-90's. that didn't become an uncommon thing to hear in SoCal until early in the 00's.

THE ROckin new sonfg kind of sucks
THE ROckin new sonfg kind of sucks
I am embarrassed to admit how many times I saw this strip before I realized I could play the rockin' new song.
Me too. It totally passed me by on the first read.
I hear a lot of talk but no MP3s!
I hear a person with just ONE mp3 of that sort on the internet makes at least fifteen times as much as a public schoolteacher.
[IMGS OFF]
I can only hope for that sort of income, although given what a public schoolteacher makes these days I'd be better off teaching poor kids how to swim.
this should really have more chubbies.
Jaunty!
Holy crap, that's a rather lovely tune, isn't it?
Average public school teacher salary is 50k. Am I just so poor that this seems like a shitload of money to me?
And just think, that's for working only 9 or so months out of a year.

Since most popular songs are simply several repeated bars of a relatively small number of chords, tabs are a much simpler way of representing how to play the song than staff notation. It's also a lot easier to pick up than staff notation and doesn't require much in the way of teaching or explanation, so people without experience in other instruments can play songs easily without having to learn things like time signatures, clefs, accidentals and so on.
Or if you don't buy that, "guitar players are dumb" works as an explanation too (this includes me)

I am also a classically trained pianist with hell of Passes (With Distinction) on high level British Music Theory exams, and I think guitar tabs are pretty much the simplest thing in the world to read.
Meh. Last time I got a distinction was back at Grade 6. I only just passed the Grade 8 when I did it... but I put that down to a board change from Associated Board to Trinity... which... was annoyingly more difficult. Still, I'd say I was lucky to have never failed an exam, so... is all fine.
Good on you for getting all those distinctions. ^_^
Today's your lucky day - each of the lines is a string on the guitar. Each of the numbers is the fret that you hold the string down at. ... The end. To get more in-depth, each of the frets on each string represents a note in various octaves (is that right? how loud it is?) and rather than writing it out where all the notes you would be hitting are represented it just tells you where to put your fingers on which string. Entry-level stuff! :D
Thank ye kindly for this detailed explanation.
Most guitar sheet music does, in fact, have a treble clef and notes. Only the stuff you find on the Internet is written in tab. Tab's easier to learn, but more limiting. Tab's pretty simple anyway--the six lines represent the six strings, time moves from left to right. When you see a number in a certain position, it means "play this fret on this string at this time".
Not only easier to learn and read; it's easier to write. But there's no real time: i suppose this is only a problem if you haven't heard the song you're playing.
It'll sound like junk in standard tuning, but switch it to say, open D, and you'll have something a little pop-friendly, I'm sure.
Try EEEEEE tuning.
Guitar tab has a major advantage over staff notation; there are many ways to play the same note on a stringed instrument. Staff notation is fine for pianos and horns but where you play the notes on a guitar changes both tone and difficulty. I can sight-read tab but I have to think about where everything goes (that's what sh.. smack! ) when I'm reading staff notation. A lot of guitarists also use different tunings so staff notation is pretty hopeless in that case.
However, most tab has no rhythmic or fingering information so good sheet music also includes staff notation.
tab is a way for anyone [including people with no musical training at all] to be able to pick up a guitar and play a song. unfortunately, this makes those people think they are musicians. it's a great tool to get kids playing songs quickly, but it only hinders them later on when they want to learn more about music [for example in the music theory class i teach at my high school] and they realize that they have to learn how to read actual notation on the staff.
all that being said, i still gave this strip a 5.
it was my impression, upon reading stilted's comment, that they were merely saying, in a clever way, that they had until this point not noticed the hidden message. i didn't figure as an actual reference to playing. and, as i didn't notice the hidden message until i read this comment, i think that my impression is at least understandable.
discuss.
