Guitar and Bass tablature (or “tab”) is a simple and concise way to represent how music is played on the instrument. It is easy for beginners to learn and requires no knowledge of music theory. The VideoTab™ in the IMV Guitar and Bass series is similar to the guitar tab in other instructional books and magazines, but offers the additional advantage of seeing how to play the music while the featured artist plays it. Additionally, the VideoTab™ on the DVD can be slowed down or paused to facilitate learning the parts at any player’s skill level. The lines represent the strings, and the numbers represent which fret to place your finger on. Special instructions (bends, slides, etc) are notated above the animation when needed. The tuning of the song is also notated on screen. The fret numbers travel up the neck, and should be played when they cross the play bar on the left side of the screen.
On particularly fast runs, the tab numbers alternate colors to facilitate easier viewing. Effects pedal boxes (distortion, chorus, reverb, etc) are sometimes also displayed on the screen. The effects boxes light up at the approriate time to show you how to get the specific sound that the featured player is using in that part of the song.
