What To Look For In Very Easy Guitar Tabs

Sometimes when looking at guitar tabs, it seems so simple: you put a finger on the corresponding fret and play the note. However, it is not always as easy as that. The song's melody can be difficult, or you may have never heard the song before. Changing between chords or notes can also be difficult, or there could be so many different notes that it's dificult to keep track of them all. Here are a few hints to find out if a tab is going to be simple enough for a child or a beginner:

  • Look for songs that are "note heavy" rather than "chord heavy". This means that the tab has a lot of notes rather than chords. For early beginners and children, it is easier to play a single note at time than worry about fingering different chords.
  • Choose popular songs that everyone knows. A song by an obscure band isn't as easy to play, no matter how easy to tab may look, as a familiar children's song. It's easy to fake it when you know the melody rather well. This can give newer players confidence.
  • Look for tabs with a lot of repetition and similar patterns. If a song repeats the same few notes over and over again, it's easier to learn than a song that mixes things up with a lot of different patterns.

Quick Ways To Learn Guitar

Sometimes when trying to teach children or early beginners how to play guitar, it is best to get them started on a few mechanics so they can see that they are getting somewhere. Here are a few starters:

  • Guitarplayerscenter.com has complied a list of chords for children or people with small hands. Begin by teaching these chords, and they'll be knocking full songs out of the ballpark in no time!
  • Quickly find which type of pick is best. If the person learning the guitar hits the strings lightly, consider getting hard gauged picks. Conversely, if a person hits the chords hard, consider lighter picks.
  • Let students experiment. If they want to hit all the strings, let them do so for a little while. It'll help them become accustomed to the different things the guitar can do.
