JANE!

Tab on the guitar is the equivalent to notes on sheet music. the only difference is that the placement of the notes are not as accurate as the ones placed in piano music. therefore, a lot of the deciphering and decoding is left to the ear. I'm wondering how I did not fall into this form of playing before. I have dabbled in it of course, to learn Switchfoot and Chris Rice. But recently, I have fallen in love with it thanks to the late Eva Cassidy. I see doors to natural dissection of guitar theory opening up to me. Knowledge at my fingertips. Chord progressions and picking styles. WHAT A WORLD. How did I miss it so readily? Me and Jane (name of guitar) will go far.
