This ultimately is the secret that unlocks outstanding lead guitar playing, great songwriting, and great musicianship in general. I have cited techniques used by rock and blues guitarists Kirk Hammett, Zakk Wylde, Eric Clapton and BB King, but a point I wanted to arrive at in that context is that each and every great guitarists (and great musicians, for that matter) understand music theory; guitarists who can play at that level understand what they’re doing, in other words. Now, a few folks might say, “Well, yeah, but guys like Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen and Alex Lifeson are self-taught players and have never had a conventional guitar lesson or formal guitar instructor”. That would be accurate, but rest assured, these guys unquestionably know and understand their music theory; it would be inconceivable for them to play the way they play if they did not.

Tablature is a way of indicating the positioning of notes and fingering on the guitar fretboard. There are 6 tab lines representing 6 strings on the guitar. (The 1st string is the thinnest, and the 6th string is the thickest) They are as follows:

E—————————– String 1 B—————————– String 2 G—————————– String 3 D—————————– String 4 A—————————– String 5 E—————————– String 6

When a number is placed on one of the lines, it indicates the fret location of note for example,

E—————————– String 1 B——4———————- String 2 G—————————– String 3 D—————————– String 4 A—————————– String 5 E—————————– String 6
