index: first fret
middle finger: second fret
ring finger: third fret

A very common type of tabs has a staff with six lines representing the six string on the guitar and numbers showing which frets to press down.

I suggest that you memorize the melody by practicing one line at a time. Then you are prepared to play the melody as soon as you find a guitar around.

C#dim: 15 24 03 22 01

Dm: 04 23 32 11

(F)With every (G7)Christmas card I (C)write

I suggest that you assign your left hand fingers to play specific frets on your guitar fretboard according to this table:

35 04 24 24 23 25 25 25 35

F: 34 23 12 11

35 04 24 24 24 23 03 12

I have also included chord suggestions in brackets in the lyrics immediately before the appropriate syllable.

Let us take a look at the first line of the Christmas carol White Christmas and the corresponding melody written with this type of guitar tabs:

Time to continue with the next tabs:

May your (C)days be (C7)merry and (F)bright (Fm6)

To (C)hear (Am)sleigh bells in the (F)snow (G7)

Here is the end of the first verse:

Fm6: 04 13 12 11

In this type of guitar tablature notation you will not find any indication of the length of individual notes. I suggest that you sing the melody as you memorize the lines to get the rhythm right.

34 24 34 24 04 35 04

The next verse starts with an identical melody but the last two lines have changed.

(C)I'm dreaming of a (Dm)white (G7)Christmas

24 34 24 14 24 34 44 03

C: 35 24 03 12 01

In this guitar lesson you will learn to read a special type of guitar tablature. We will use the song White Christmas as an example. You will learn to play the melody and the chords on your guitar.

The first number tells you which fret to press down and the second number which string to play. These two numbers tell you to press down the second fret on the fourth string.

If you use these left hand fingering suggestions it will be easier for you to find your way around the fretboard as you can keep your left hand in a relatively fixed position as you play. It might be a little bit tricky at first but with practice it will soon be a natural way to play on your guitar.
