Often
guitar tablature is referred to in different ways. Like tabliture,
tableture, tabelature and even tabilature. You will also here it
referred to as tab, notation, tabs and numbering. Sometimes if the tab
comes with lyrics, sites will refer to it as sheet music but really
they mean guitar tablature.
Whatever you call it, guitar
tablature has become one of the primary ways that guitartists have
learned to develop their skills without the expense of guitar lessons.
Guitar tablature has also become a fantastic way for those who read
sheet music to communicate their songs to those who cannot read music
and do not understand 'keys' etc.
Before guitar tablature became
popular, there was a gap between musicians who could read sheet music
and those who could not. Guitar tablature has bridged this gap and
brought guitarists closer together.
