I got the following information from this website. It should help you understand what tabs are and how to read them. Good luck!! To learn drum tab, click here. To learn guitar tab, click here.
The kbtab system, by Scott Nichols, [email protected]
First, we have to get some definitions: L=left R=right p=pinkie r=ring m=middle i=index t=thumb x=any number i.e. not specific
I would set up the tab this way:
p------------------------------- r------------------------------- L m------------------------------- i------------------------------- t-------------------------------
t------------------------------- i------------------------------- R m------------------------------- r------------------------------- p-------------------------------
When making this tab, those letters aren't necessary. I just put them there to say what all the lines mean. In some more examples, I may use the letters because I don't want to do all 10 lines. I am not worrying about timing because I intend for the kb tab to be used for songs that you already have heard before and would pretty much know the timing. I do not intend for kb tab to be thrown in front of somebody, and they could play it perfectly for the first time. Kb tab was not meant to be a professional standard. Some of the negative feedback might be due to me not stating this in the first place.
Now for some examples
Let's say you want to play the chord CEG with the left hand, and do some arpeggios with it. That would look like:
r-Cx-Cx---Cx-------Cx----- L m-Ex-Ex-----Ex-------Ex--- and so on i-Gx-Gx-------Gx-------Gx-
Now let's mess with "A-------B-CB-AG-E-----G-D-------" which Enroh provided
If you wanted to play it with one finger(lets use the left index finger) it would look like:
L i--Ax--------Bx--Cx-Bx--Ax-Gx--Ex------Gx--Dx----
If you wanted to play this with more fingers(putting aside any proper technique) it could look like:
p-Ax----------------Ax-------------------------- r--------Bx-----Bx------------------------------ L m-----------Cx---------------------------------- i-----------------------------------------Dx--- t--------------------------Ex-------------------
t----------------------------------------------- R i----------------------Gx-------------Gx--------
Like I said before, the x's indicate that I have no idea where on the keyboard this is played. If I did, I would have supplied the correct numbers. What the x's are representing are the octave numbers(1-7). I guess the black keys would be represented by the sharp symbol #. I haven't yet thought of where to place it(only 3 choices: #C5 C#5 C5#).
Another advantage of kb tab is that you don't need any special program to write(or read) it. All that is necessary is a text editor with a monospace font.
