Video Game Guitar Tabs
Experienced musicians know how to read tablature and thereby play the tunes that they like. Amateur music fans might not be versed in how to read tabs, but that doesn’t mean that they have to miss out on the fun. Video game guitar tabs allow them to play songs with no knowledge of sheet music required.
Video game guitar tabs are an online trend geared uniquely toward guitarists (video tabs for drummers and keyboarders haven’t come out yet, though you never know when that may change). What these tabs do is display a row of vertical lines representing guitar strings and then flash numbers along the strings. Each number represents a location of where you would hold down the string or strings.
Video game guitar tabs have a few drawbacks. For one, they don’t tell you how long to hold each note. That’s not too big of a problem, though. If you have a good feel for the song, you can deduce by ear the length of time that will work best for given chords. Another shortcoming is that non-guitarists will not know how to read these tabs. If you’re in a band and need to collaborate on a song, you may run into a lot of complications.
But in all, video tabs’ pluses definitely outweigh their minuses. They’re a great help to new guitarists learning to master hammer ons, slides, string bends, harmonics, and other techniques.
LoveToKnow Video Games is an excellent go-to site for general information about video game guitar tabs and for leads on the best sites you can visit for finding game tunes that you might be looking to play.
Video Game Jam is one such lead. This site has a vast selection of tabs, and you can view them or print them for free. In addition, guitarists who have created their own tabs can submit them to the site for possible publication.
Game Tabs is also a great site to visit. Its collection has guitar tabs from many popular computer titles and consoles. The tabs are free to download. You’ll find side forums on this site for discussing tabs with other users and for suggesting other tabs that you’d like to see created.
The Mushroom Kingdom is yet another worthy tabs site, albeit with a Mario Brothers theme (hence the name “Mushroom Kingdom”). You’ll find tabs for most Mario Brothers songs, in addition to graphics, MP3s, and desktop fonts.
