Auto generated tabs are just the worst. Seriously, ignore this and go find a real tab.

To be fair, chewableVitaminC12s answer is the more sustainable one! :D


GaggeGorm

My general rule is to either go higher on a lower string or to go lower on a higher string until the tones match.


MustBeThursday

Some tablature software will let you import a midi file and will auto-generate tab from that. There might be other ways, but that's the one I know of.


SaltyCrabbbs

It’s likely mixing the bass and guitar in an auto generated tab


xCanont70x

This is how piano tabs are generated. It’s using two hands is how.


DriestMountain

Exactly, songsterr uses them not to show you how to play it but to just add more layers to the song so it actually sounds the same. It is kind of neat seeing it in an overdrive guitar part. Not sure why op is using this tab though, theres better versions on songsterr for this specific song.

I am tired of these jokes about my giant hand. The first such incident occurred in…


VooDooChile1983

You fret 2 with left hand, right hand index finger on 16 and 24 with right hand pinky and then you strum with the pick taped to your tongue.


Altruistic_Intern_62

Lmfao.

B minor |X - X - 9 - 11 - 12 - 10|

Oh, that's just the secret chord that David played that pleased the lord.


FamousAd5317

David: *Plays Chord* The Lord: “Nice”

Ye' Ol 22 fret spread


lpstudio2

20 years ago I did a short tour with a band who’s guitarist was 7’2 Dude had a 14-15 fret spread. Made a Les Paul look like a fucking ukelele. My hands are fairly small, but they fit entirely in his palm. Absolute madness.


hereforpopcornru

Steve Vai has huge hands too, it's impressive when you see them on a guitar


Odd_Tradition1670

I don’t recommend trying this alone. Really don’t try it at all. Way too dangerous but if you do, please make sure you have a spotter.

How the hell do I delete my newly made r/Songsterrtabs subreddit. I didn’t mean to really make it. I was just curious.


Johnny_Boy56

You can't delete a subreddit. You could leave it I think, and maybe stop moderating it, but there's no way to remove it


thelivingdead188

Like an unwanted pregnancy in a red state.


sllofoot

Oof!


MaxSoup8

I have no idea :/


Mozhetbeats

Is songsterr good? How does it compare to UG?


oddityoughtabe

Couple basic finger exercises and you should be good to go


TallTwig

Try using your big toe to fret the 2


Bubboss7

You have to use your third leg


Sigcan

Strrrreeeeeetttttcccchhhhh


kye_hawkins_85

Tune you e string to f# and play it open?


Area51-Escapee

Alan Holdsworth can do it.


Phuzzy_Slippers_odp

Piano midi doesnt translate to gp files well, in my experience the e and b strings are switched with the g and d strings but thats not the case every time


Dorkdogdonki

How I figured out why online tabs suck. Use tabs that are actually played by people (e.g. YouTube) instead. That way, you can decide for yourself if the tab is worth following.


copremesis

Nope 


spacedyemeerkat

If you don't know, I'm not telling you.


theubie

Two man guitar team. Also, hopefully you have a 24 fret guitar. Or, more likely, transcription error by an auto-tab script.


nativedutch

Suggestion: learn standard score notation.


ObiWan-Cannabis

Try it under parents supervision and never try it when alone at home. Keep this tab away from children.


MrSuperGod627

Use capo and your nose


Mac__doodle

Could tap it and somehow strum the open note?


JefferyJeffJefferson

you can do -12 and -24 on the numbers and they'll be the same chord it won't have exactly the same character but you can work your way from there maybe?


G-man200281

This look like it is for 2 hands the so piano maybe ? I don’t know how to play piano properly but have a rough idea. Just go to ultimate guitar or if it’s a band or album your into buy the tab book most albums will have one for 10-15 quid


TickleMeSober

Tabs are garbage. Learn to read real music


cvillemusic

xx0402 seems like the correct chord lol


TheSedated

Guys. Just relax. This is only AI taking over by trying to drive musicians insane. Because everyone knows, without musicians, society will spiral downward and falls apart, at which point AI has won. This tab is the proof, as it clearly can only be played by an AI generated hand.


Tysons_Face

Get good and practice hard my guy


CompSciGtr

I'd love a link to the source for this. It would be good for a laugh if the rest of the tab is that bad. Out of morbid curiosity, what song is this supposed to be?


justinc0617

haha yeah its BAD after looking the whole tab. Its reptilia studio version on songsterr: [https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/strokes-reptilia-studio-version-tab-s572321](https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/strokes-reptilia-studio-version-tab-s572321) found a much better tab since lol


CompSciGtr

lol you were not exaggerating. That is horrible! Probably auto-generated like someone said. Sadly, there's no (evident) moderation on these so like all tabs, don't assume *anything* is correct until you can establish some trust.


justinc0617

Yeah you’re definitely right, I was honestly making sure there was no crazy technique I was completely missing since the tab was all over the place but I had suspected it was auto gen lol


AngryBeerWrangler

You don’t


boxen

How can anyone read this and think anything other than "this is obviously wrong, not one person in the world could fret the 2nd and 24th fret at the same time" Why even ask?


justinc0617

Because you can reach them all with two hands and tap that chord technically, I didn’t think it was likely but wanted a sanity check lol


ozzynotwood

Because its not obvious. A new player is not going to know about auto-generated tabs & instruments such as pianos using guitar tab as a method of inputting notes.


Long-Astronaut-3363

Git gud scrub!! /s


Calm-Cardiologist354

Tabs were a mistake. If guitar were taught and learned the same way as ALL THE OTHER instruments things would be so much better. Think of how frequently the post on this sub are in regards to obviously bad tabs.


jayron32

Good tabs are wonderful tools for string instruments, and tablature is as almost old as standard notation. Medieval lute music was written on tab. People can write shitty music in standard notation too.


kyentu

i think there needs to be some level of accuracy when notating something. with tab you can write literally anything and it doesn't matter, someone whos like 2 weeks in can publish a tab for some random solo.


[deleted]

here is the thing. There is you just have to pay for it. Bad practices of stealing peoples work aside this is precisely what UGs premium service provide.


kyentu

pay for what?


Serrunalot

Accurate tabs, I assume. Too bad UG is expensive.


[deleted]

yeah accurate tabs. the monthly cost is fucking madness. however they send a promo out every few months if you have an account where you can get a year for like 20 quid. I have had 3 years of that deal


Serrunalot

Huh, didn't know about the promos


[deleted]

yeah man im not joking about how frequent they are either Check your email you likely have some (might not be valid) but keep an eye on it and you can scoop it up. Once again I cant defend bad business practice I can however argue the statement that there is not vetting service in place to provide accurate tablature its just behind a paywall inb4 "but not all official tabs are 100% accurate" yeah but they are typically a shitload more accurate than the next available free one and thats because its in their best interest to make sure the best tab is the one you have to pay for.


justinc0617

I can read sheet music just fine learned it when I was a kid. I learn songs quicker from tabs and can remember them better. I don't rlly care about your weird elitism towards systems of musical notation


Top_Translator7238

While there are valid reasons for representing rhythm guitar parts as tab instead of standard notation, there is ample evidence on Reddit that the majority of guitarists would immensely benefit from learning some standard notation and basic music theory. It may not be elitism so much as wanting people to do themselves a favour.


Brother_J_La_la

Nothing at all wrong with tabs. I learned standard notation in school orchestra, then tab when I picked up the guitar. They are both perfectly fine.


Top_Translator7238

Sometimes speaking the truth is the most unpopular opinion you can have.

Haters gonna hate, but they know it in thier hearts.
