"Every Adult Dog Growls Barks Eats" is just a funny way to remember the name of the strings!














STEP 3

Reading the tabs is the simplest part about playing guitar!
Here is an example tab from the song "

On your guitar, you have frets(space between the two bars) each fret is given a number. Example: the first fret is '1', the second fret is '2', and it goes on until the fret board ends. To play the tabs on your guitar, you just have to play the string, on the given fret number. once you are good with that you can carry on look for tabs.
