What are vTabs?
"When I was learning to play guitar the biggest thing for me was learning new tabs. We wanted to create a different way to view them, so we came up with vTabs (video tabs). See for yourself here! We spent a lot of time on it and we really hope you all enjoy! Fabian did a great job designing the video. New tabs coming soon and some vNotes (video sheet music) coming for our piano songs!" - Alejandro Manzano
What is a guitar tab?
Guitar tabs are a form of musical notation that tell the player where to put his or her fingers on the guitar neck, rather than what note and pitch to play. Many believe that guitar tabs are a new form of writing music, but in actuality tabs have been used for centuries. Many find that guitar tabs are much easier to read than the standard form of musical notation.
Guitar tabs appear similar in some ways to other musical notation. A tab staff for guitar has six horizontal lines, each one representing a string of the instrument. The bottom line of the staff represents your lowest "E" string, the second line from the bottom represents your "A" string, etc.
The numbers located smack dab in the middle of the lines represent the fret the tab is telling you to play. For example, a three on the bottom line would indicate that the next note in the song is a G, played on the high E string.
Boyce Avenue fans are regularly asking for tabs to Boyce Avenue's covers and original music. Boyce Avenue's vTabs tutorials will be a great tool in helping those people learn to play guitar.
I love this....it's like Guitar Hero for real-life guitarists. Such an innovative idea! Boyce Avenue never fails to impress me with their ability to think outside the box.
I don't play the guitar, but I gotta say, after watching these videos, I wish I did. In fact, I've never wanted to own a guitar so badly in my life.
This is just one more example of why these guys are my favorite band. I'm so impressed with the dedication that Boyce Avenue have to their fans. Putting together this vTabs tutorial could not have been an easy task.
As one commenter said on YouTube, "Boyce Avenue is the best. They love us enough to actually take time to make this video!"
Amazing! boyce avenue is amazing
