how can i learn a song on guitar if i cant find a tab for it?

24th June

The song im really wanting to learn is "trend" by frickin a’. It doesnt sound too hard but i still cant figure it out on my own and ive looked everywhere on the internet and cant find a guitar tab. Does anyone know what i should do or someone i can contact that might try to figure it out and post a guitar tab for me?

btw heres a video of them playing the song (just in case you want to hear it)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJMCNcRKu3E

try to cancel out everything in the song but the guitar playing, in your mind.
there are some programs that cancel out vocals in music files, try google

When learning guitar, is it better to learn to read guitar tab or to read the actual notes?

21st June


Go fore music theory (notes)

Although tab is definitely useful for quickly grasping any popular song quickly. But as you will want to to be become a more competent musician you will come across situation whereby you need to understand music theory and notes. For example playing guitar for a singer who might require you to change the key. It very difficult to visualize key changes on tab.

Tab is also very easy to grasp, if you can grasp notes you can find it much easier to grasp tab. So definitely go for notes. as you can learn to transcribe to any instrument, which is very useful for any guitarist/musician.

Also more important than those two I feel. Is learning by ear. Train your ear rigorously because it will improve your playing of any instrument, understanding of notes harmony which are so very crucial for any competent musician. Any guitar tutor(I 200% recommend) will allude to these facts however I feel you might self taught. If you don’t want a DVD program (the best being Learn and Master Guitar) the best is to:

learn your instrument in context to music theory: http://www.zentao.com/guitar/theory/
train your ear: google any ear training programs, a lot are free. and always try figure out any song you like by playing small parts of it, and trying to play it on guitar, obviously when you begin its extremely painful and requires diligence as you will be repeating parts quite a lot to figure them out. In good time though, its extremely rewarding as you can accompany and musicians or bands easily and naturally. Oh yeah.

Join a band as soon you can! or a music group or whatever. Nothing beats it!!

PERFORM PERFORM PERFORM!!!

Which is easier to learn tab or sheet music for guitar?

18th May

also if you know any good easy to medium level country guitar songs that be great

Tablature is an easier, but inferior method of notation. Sure, it shows you where to put your fingers, but it doesn’t tell you what notes those are, or how they are related. Basically, it doesn’t facilitate an understanding of music.

Learn fingerpicking guitar : Freight train 4 + tab

1st April

Freight train is a great song to getting started with playing fingerstyle guitar. This lesson features 4 versions of this song and with each version there will be some things added.
This is the fourth and last version (intermediate). It continues with adding extra bassnotes to the song. It’s split up in 9 parts and I’ve tried to explain it step by step and in a slowed down way.

Grade : Intermediate

Tablature can be found on : www.myspace.com/heronymusic
Also table edit version availble of all versions (leave an email for that)

This song is written by Elizabeth Cotten.
Hope you’ll enjoy!!

4 Chords, 19 Songs on Guitar

28th March

I give an example of some of the many songs that can be played using the same four chords in the same order.

Watch my guitar lesson to learn how to play these four chords: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmChNlDknbM

Watch my other video, “4 Chords, 21 Songs on Guitar” to see me play 21 different songs with these four chords: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzkilz940dw

*Note: A few things may be confusing for those of you who watch my instructional video and try to play these songs, so I will try to ease your confusion.

1) In the instructional video I teach the chords G,D,Em,C, whereas in this video I play C,G,Am,F and use a capo. The songs can be played with either set of chords, but will be in a different key, depending on which you use.

2) If you want to play along with me while watching the video but don’t have a capo, then you can play D#, A#, Cm, G# (sorry, it’s awkward).

3) The order of the chords after “Take On Me” switches from C,G,Am,F (G,D,Em,C) to Am,F,C,G (Em,C,G,D). It is the same order of chords, but I start with the minor chord for the last few songs.

4) Not all of these songs use ONLY these four chords in this order, so I may just be playing a section of the song that does.

5) I don’t have the strumming pattern written down or anything, so if you want to figure it out I just suggest playing along with the video, or try making up your own strumming patterns.

The songs I play in order are:
James Blunt – You’re Beautiful
Five for Fighting – Superman (It’s Not Easy)
Jason Mraz – I’m Yours
Fort Minor – Where’d You Go
Maroon 5 – She Will Be Loved
Alicia Keys – No One
Black Eyed Peas – Where is the Love?
Rex Hermogino – Love on the Internet
Mika – Happy Ending
Beatles – Let It Be
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under the Bridge
Michael Jackson – Man in the Mirror
a-ha – Take On Me
T.I. – Whatever You Like
OneRepublic – Apologize
Outlandish – Aicha
Toto – Africa
Eagle Eye Cherry – Save Tonight
Beyonce – If I Were a Boy
