Standard Notation and Tablature

For every example that uses music, there will be a double staff showing a standard five-line music staff with a six-line tab staff below it. The tablature (or tab) staff won't contain rhythms because the music staff contains that information. The tab just indicates on which fret (0 through 24) to play the notes.

Here's an example of what you will see in this book. Every example that uses music will be written this way.
