Introduction

A great supplement for repertoire development, this book provides you with a quick and easy way to

learn excerpts from songs before you choose to study them for your repertoire. Most of these one-line

excerpts are guitar riffs, but several melodies are also included. This book contains 100 simplified

excerpts from several genres of music, including rock, classical, jazz, blues, country, television &

movie, and others.

With music notation, you use your knowledge of note names on the staff—and on the fretboard—to

read and play notes. Learning music notation is strongly encouraged but not necessary with this book

because these songs are in tablature format. Reading tablature (or tab for short) is similar to someone

pointing to your fretboard and saying, “play this note, right here.” You simply follow string numbers

and fret numbers to find notes.

These songs are in order of difficulty so that you can start with easy songs and progress throughout the

book to more challenging ones. To help you find particular songs easily, the contents are listed in three

ways: by song title, by artist/composer, and by genre. Organizing your study material is a great way to

recall the many songs you will learn for your repertoire. Remember to relax, take your time, and have

fun while learning!

Reading Tablature

Six lines represent your six strings. The top line is your first string (the thinnest one). The numbers on

these lines (your strings) represent the fret numbers of your guitar; they tell you at which fret to play

on each string. The notes are written in the order that they should be played, and if you see two notes

at the same time, you should play those two notes at the same time. It’s that simple. The rhythm,

however, is not as simple. It’s typically missing—not written in tablature. To play the rhythm of a

song correctly, you need to use your memory of the song. Listen to a recording of the song until you

become familiar with the rhythm of what you want to play. Then using your memory of the song and

your intuition (playing by ear), play the song with the correct rhythm.

Slurs are a type of note change: you move from one note to the next without attacking the second note.

On the guitar, you do this by not picking the second note. With your fretting hand only, you change

from one note to the next while the string is still ringing.

The following types of slurs are used in this book:

/ = slide up slide from a lower note to a higher note

\ = slide down slide from a higher note to a lower note

h = hammer on switch from a lower note to a higher note

p = pull off switch from a higher note to a lower note
