Guest stripey Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Ok say I'm looking at a tab like thisG------------------------|D-4-2-0-----------------|A-------3-2-0-----------|E-------------3---------0|Is there a way to translate these tabs into single notes to play on a keyboard? I understand that the numbers correspond to the fret, but how do I work out what actual note they correspond to? I don't wanna translate this specific one but just wanna know if its possible and how to do it, so I can play em on my synth....any help much appreciated.

Frosty Jack Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 easiest way is to reference this -i.e. in your tab the first note is on the D string, fourth fret up. Check the picture, and it's an F#. The second note is on the D string, 2nd fret up, so it's an E.It's a bit laborious, but I think that's what you'll need to do.Remember #sharp notes can also be bflats, depending on the key of the piece, so you can use this one -Obviously these are for guitar tabs, but ignore the top two (e and B) and they're the same of course.Hope this is of some help.
