Guitar
Standard tuning (E A D G B E) · 7 positions using 3 notes per string
Position 1 tab · frets 3–8, ascending
e|-------------------------------5-6-8-| B|-------------------------5-6-8-------| G|-------------------3-5-7-------------| D|-------------3-5-7-------------------| A|-------3-5-7-------------------------| E|-3-5-6-------------------------------|
Play from the lowest note to the highest, then back down. Use one finger per fret: your index finger covers fret 3, and shift your hand slightly for the wider stretches. R marks the root — the home note to start and end on.
