By request, here's some advice on how to read tabs:
- Tabs reflect what notes are being played on the guitar
- Learning to read tabs would help you learn how to play songs
- The way tabs are expressed are from 1st (e) to 6th (E) string i.e. bottom to top of guitar
- Each number on a string represents which fret to press on which string
- When the numbers are in a vertical line, it indicates that all the notes are played at the same time i.e. strum or pluck
- When the numbers are arranged consecutively, it indicates that individual notes are plucked one at a time (Read from left to right)

Is it necessary to get a capo and a guitar tuner?
Hi Julie,
If you're planning to be able to sing along to what you're playing, then a capo would be helpful since you can adjust the pitch, without having to change the chord family that you're playing in. For example, if you have learnt the song in the key of G, but a comfortable pitch for you is in A, then you can capo the 2nd fret, and still play the G chords, in order to get the A pitch.
For guitar tuner, you can use your handphone to download apps that help you to tune up. It's important to tune up, otherwise all your chords will sound out of tune. Alternatively, there are guitar tuners that can be attached to your guitar, or tuning forks that give one string's pitch, which you can thereafter tune the rest of the guitar by pressing certain frets and playing the strings to hit the same pitch.
Hope the above is helpful!
