I USED TO BE A DRUMMER……

Question:

Forgot to say – I started with drums too. Now I do both. A good understanding of each one helps with the other I find. Good luck, Steve White – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Its not far off.

 … but when the bands I played in, kept breaking up I decided to start playing guitar, and so I bought myself a pretty little blue TAKAMINE JASMINE accoustic/electric. I only know a few chords, so I started playing just rhythm to some simple songs, and despite my big fat fingers, I can go from E to A to G to D pretty well. I have had no formal instruction and so I want to ask what y’all will probably consider a super-dumb question: In Tablature, aren’t you just picking the notes on the fret board of the chord/key that the song is in? the lead or the bass guitarist just find the many different variations (notes) on the fret board and play them? I know I’m gonna get flamed for this, but I really need to know if I have this right before I start memorizing all the notes on the fret board. I appreciate any help y’all can give me….. Thank you. — "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall down an open sewer and die." Mel Brooks Before you buy.

Its not far off. The notes from the current chord are always going to fit and so are quite common – in almost any style of music. However, you are not "restricted" to those notes and if you can weave in some others things can get more interesting.
