![]() Using normal/conventional music notation, every time you change the tuning on your guitar you then have to re-learn the notes on the fingerboard to be able to find them when they are being read from the dots on the printed page. One of the other major advantages of tablature is in the use of altered and open tunings on the guitar (for tunings see here: ). Tablature usage has never been easier or more approachable. ![]() Some, such as TablEdit, will even play back the tablature for you on the computer so that you can hear how the tune goes before you attempt to play it. This is true NO MORE !! The newer software programs for computers allow you to enter tablature and have the timing printed along with the tab. One of the major complaints about tablature used to be that it didn't show any timing value so you had to have heard the tune first before you could use the 'finger-map' of the tablature to play it. It is an excellent medium because it shows exactly where to place your fingers to find the notes and these finger placements are often the best way to find the notes to make the movement of your fretting hand the easiest and simplest as well as the most economical and efficient. Tablature is an excellent way in which to put guitar compositions and arrangements onto paper for learning and teaching purposes, and also to enable you to remember tunes from one year to the next, a definite factor if a tune isn't played for a year or two, especially as one gets a little older.
