Above is a brief explanation on tablature. Obviously there is more to playing than just placing your finger on a note on the fretboard. The next step is playing technique, this is such styles as, bending, sliding, hammer-on, pull-off, vibrato and many more. Playing these techniques makes the difference between an armature (beginner) and a professional polished guitarist. Below are some of the advanced tablature techniques you will learn in this section.
