Learning Guitar Solos From Tab

Posted on | | No Comments


A newbie guitarist’s inspiration to learn to play the guitar is the lead guitar player in a famous band. Hearing a great solo guitar player at work raises quite a few questions about the techniques he uses, the tone and volume settings, and where he gets those great guitar solos from.

If you play the tab of a guitar solo through, you might not agree with the notes that are on the tab, so this is the time to make any changes that you feel are necessary. Once you feel that the guitar solo tab corresponds to your hearing of the solo on the CD version of the song, you need to check the fingering.

If the guitar tab has been written using a text editor, the fingering will have been worked out by the guitarist who wrote the tab. If you are using a file from some guitar editing software like Powertab, you will need to check the fingering thoroughly to make sure it is easy for you to play.

So, there is no harm in changing or interpreting the tab for any guitar solo. If you feel that what’s on the tab does not sound quite right, go with what you have. Once you’re familiar with the music, the correct notes or chord will probably come to you. Also, do not be afraid to take liberties with any guitar solo you are learning. When you are up there playing the music on your guitar, it will be YOUR solo, so you can change it to make it your own if you like.

Here is a video of Norwegian guitarist, Kristian Tjelle playing Freebird:
