SERIES!
THE LOW E STRING
Guitar music is written in a form of notation called tablature, or tab for short. Each line represents a string, and each number
represents a fret. The thickest string played open, or not pressed, is the low E note. In tab, an open string is represented with a
zero (0). The note F is located on the 1st fret. Press, or “fret” the string with your 1st finger, directly behind the first metal fret.

Play the theme from the movie Jaws using the notes E and F. Attack the string with a downstroke of the pick. Speed up as the
numbers get closer together.
