How do I know what chord to play when reading fingerpicking tabs like this?
Sometimes we use chord shapes to play notes in a song, even when they’re played one at a time like this. But in this case it’s just a melody line.
To know where to put your finger for each note, the tab has four lines that represent each string (line closest to the music notes is the string closest to the floor, bottom line is the one closest to your nose). The numbers on these lines indicate which fret the note is at.
...
This bit starts on the A string (closest to the floor), and the first note is at the first fret, next one is fret 3, etc. 7 notes on that string and then the melody moves to the E string (one right next to the A string) and eventually to the C string.
Have you lost count of the times you've had high hopes for a pot plant but despite careful positioning and diligent watering it always seems to die?
Well you're not cursed and you don't need particularly green fingers for your to foliage to thrive, you just need to know where you might be going wrong, experts say.
