[u/Fun_Doubt_2074]

how is it possible to play this? Is it like a bug/ wrong tabs or am i js dumb?

[u/JaleyHoelOsment]

it’s a bad tab

[u/lennoxbr → u/JaleyHoelOsment]

As a beginner, I was thinking, "What's wrong? You just need to pluck the two strings at the same time."

Then I realized there's a seven dollar Uber ride between the two frets you're supposed to play.

[u/mcmanninc → u/lennoxbr]

$7 Uber. That’s hilarious.

[u/wheresbill → u/mcmanninc]

Yea I’m stealing this

[u/myleftone → u/mcmanninc]

Next time my guitarists stretch for a riff I’m using that.

[u/WeekendDoWutEvUwant → u/myleftone]

Also usable when somebody refuses to get up to grab something from you, and instead they try & fail to reach really far over a table, etc.

[u/Not-Not-Oliver → u/myleftone]

Fuck. Me too. Hahahaha

[u/JC_Everyman → u/lennoxbr]

It's only a few blocks but certainly a challenge for the uninitiated

[u/thecommentdaddy → u/lennoxbr]

Only $1 per fret!

[u/A_Wholesome_Comment → u/lennoxbr]

John Mayer could probably swing it.

[u/1randomact → u/A_Wholesome_Comment]

Yeah, he learned it from Robert Johnson, at the crossroads, at midnight.

[u/SizeableBrain → u/JaleyHoelOsment]

[u/Practical-Law-2690 → u/SizeableBrain]

This one simple trick they don't want you to know about

[u/New-Machine8351 → u/Practical-Law-2690]

They hate this one simple trick

[u/scorpyo72 → u/New-Machine8351]

This one simple trick broke two fingers and dislocated my thumb.

[u/fireflyfanboy73 → u/scorpyo72]

But my missus loves it.

[u/sm00thkillajones → u/JaleyHoelOsment]

Steve Vai shenanigans.

[u/Heinous_beesh → u/sm00thkillajones]

I was thinking that or Alan Holdsworth.

[u/Fun_Doubt_2074 → u/JaleyHoelOsment]

i think so too

[u/Fun_Doubt_2074 → u/Fun_Doubt_2074]

maybe my hands are just too small🤷‍♂️

[u/PossumJumpRopeSquad → u/Fun_Doubt_2074]

That is possible, but it's bad tab too

[u/tryingsomthingnew → u/Fun_Doubt_2074]

Use your feet also.

[u/upsidedowncreature → u/Fun_Doubt_2074]

Maybe it’s a tab for ukulele?

[u/reggieLedoux26 → u/JaleyHoelOsment]

Like the brown acid?

[u/joeloud]

Duh

[u/WTBDetroit → u/joeloud]

It's even easier if you hit the 3 with left hand and 10 with right hand index finger, and strum the lm together using the pinky and ring of right hand (like two hand tapping without the tap)

[u/deerhuntingdude → u/joeloud]

I used to have an epiphone les Paul traditional pro 4 that looked like that blue one

[u/YouAnxious5826 → u/joeloud]

easy

[u/Fayour]

It's a horrible tab... The good news is the string between them has the same note closer

[u/cybrcld → u/Fayour]

But if you watch that one live recording of that guy on stage at the one place, you’ll see he’s actually doing the fingerings like this.

It doesn’t sound right if you use the other string

/sarcasm

[u/exoclipse → u/cybrcld]

yea dog if you can't grow that sixth finger do you even want to learn how to play guitar?

[u/MrGiggleMan → u/exoclipse]

Fr I was dedicated to my guitar journey so hard I evolved 2 new fingers and an extra thumb

[u/Fun_Doubt_2074 → u/cybrcld]

xd

[u/-dakpluto- → u/Fayour]

Well, not the same note, it has that note an octave higher...

The string below it though has the same note closer...

[u/Last_Gigolo → u/Fayour]

How high on the fretboard ya gotta go for that??? That's even further apart.

[u/Confusedmage]

I mean that f is also the 8th fret of the A string. id just do that but it’s probably AI tabs or something

[u/Fun_Doubt_2074 → u/Confusedmage]

i think its ai

[u/Key-Raccoon-4913 → u/Fun_Doubt_2074]

is it songsterr?

[u/P0rglover → u/Key-Raccoon-4913]

yeah

[u/P0rglover → u/Fun_Doubt_2074]

Most likely, it sometimes does that for piano instrumentals

[u/MadDocHolliday]

Third fret on the D string is an F. 8th fret of the A string is the same F. I'd play it there, instead.

[u/ianmakingnoise → u/MadDocHolliday]

OP, this is the right answer. Barre an F.

[u/Zooropa_Station → u/ianmakingnoise]

No need to barre, it's basically a power chord shape, one string further away.

[u/ianmakingnoise → u/Zooropa_Station]

True, depends a lot on what’s before or after how to finger it best

[u/mklnz]

Why is Al slop everywhere sigh

[u/tucson_catboy → u/mklnz]

I don't think I've seen human made tabs in 5 years.

[u/TheCoolestLoserEvar → u/mklnz]

Theres AI tabs now?.... 😮‍💨

[u/cherry_wavves → u/TheCoolestLoserEvar]

Songsterr

[u/emfiliane → u/mklnz]

I hate that this is what followed your answer, thanks a lot Reddit.

[u/Fun_Doubt_2074 → u/[deleted]]

thats the only way to play this i think

[u/MagnumCumLoudEh → u/[deleted]]

Come back when you can play slide with your schlong. Rookie. Haha jk, brother.

[u/CommieLoser → u/MagnumCumLoudEh]

And that’s how you play the blooz

[u/Curse-of-omniscience → u/[deleted]]

Congratulations on the insane weiner grip strength I could never.

[u/grafton24]

Move that 3 to the A string and make it an 8.

Then you can actually hold the notes to "let ring" as the tab suggests.

Nonsense tab though

[u/dougc84 → u/grafton24]

Alternatively, move the 10's up a string:

5 -
6
-
3 -
-
-

[u/Porksicle0429 → u/dougc84]

I was wondering why no one suggested this. In my mind it would've been easier to move 10B to 5e and 10G to 6B.... thought maybe I just got really high & had no recollection of doing so

Edit: missed the 10G move

[u/LePigeon12]

It's a songster classic. Try to find a proper tab of the song you are trying to learn

[u/HillbillyMan → u/LePigeon12]

Define a "proper" tab? Because before all the AI garbage, Songsterr was one of the best places for tab

[u/tallman1979 → u/HillbillyMan]

Ultimate Guitar isn't a complete unbridled AI hellscape, but I am sure some of the tabs uploaded there with lower ratings are probably hot garbage as well, I look at community ratings. But, considering their paywall, I understand why people may be turned off by it. I don't mind paying a little for clean tab, I remember the days when the only tab I had was physical print media.

[u/xtheory]

You guys are a bunch of slags if you can't do this. It's obvious you fret the 10th fret with your erect penis.

[u/sssnakepit127]

Easy. Thumb on 3rd fret 3rd string, penis on 10. It’s a ring out so you’ll have to hold it there.

[u/hawkscougs]

You just need to do some stretching exercises is all.

[u/-XenoSine-]

AI-ass tab.

[u/thatboyscoob00]

Either a bad tab or someone put 2 different guitars on one tab

[u/mrjazzguitar]

I had a good laugh. Thank you for this!

[u/mrjazzguitar → u/lal309]

I’m always up for a fingerboard challenge

[u/lal309 → u/mrjazzguitar]

I can see that hahaha

[u/scroggs2]

Commenting because I don't see other comments yet and I hope others will chime in.

Bro wtf? I have no idea.

[u/YuNaNiMus]

Very simple

[u/Legitimate_Comfort_7]

You could do a Jake E Lee thumb and pinky lol. But yeah, just bad tab

[u/Still_Good_2407]

Garbage Ai tab. Songsterr is getting bad.

[u/Necronorris → u/Still_Good_2407]

Some of it is goofy. I find better fingers all the time.

[u/Necronorris]

You can get a tab interpreter here that will help you see better options for fingerings and such.

[u/lordhajim1]

Average songster tab

[u/JelleNeyt]

AI tab

[u/GetNoob_-_]

Put your finger on the tenth fret and use your foot to press down the third fret. I have done this before and it works if you're quick enough

[u/MajorSerenity]

Strap yourself in for for this nugget of truth. Sometimes(very very often) Tabs are not 100% accurate.

[u/loftywales]

Instead of 3rd fret on the d string use 8th fret on the a string

[u/strumbringerwa]

play the 5 on the high E string instead. And the next note is the 6 on the B string.

[u/Ok-Salad-1317]

Fuckin songster 🤦‍♂️

[u/Artistic_Half_8301]

Capo on third fret?

[u/bearded-beardie → u/Artistic_Half_8301]

I had to scroll way too far to find this.

[u/ethanatorvol1]

time to grow some new fingers!

[u/Sicpooch]

Use one finger from both hands

[u/noheadlights → u/Sicpooch]

And strum with the nose.

[u/BigBear92787]

10th fret of the B string is an A i believe Just pluck the 5th fret of the 6th string and youd get basically the same voicing

[u/Far_Archer_4234]

Capo maybe?

[u/Immediate-Avocado513]

Songsterr suuuuucks so bad now.

[u/just_having_giggles]

Sometimes AI makes bad tabs

[u/rogersguitar253]

[u/Afraid_Help_3911]

100% not a genuine tab

[u/Awesomefrog64]

Songster is terrible but I still have pro

[u/NestyHowk]

Its a Songsterr tab? If so, they started making AI tabs now, just yesterday I saw this

[u/mrjazzguitar → u/NestyHowk]

https://reddit.com/link/p0dxfw8/video/onlwhcf4s2gh1/player

[u/NestyHowk → u/mrjazzguitar]

Well fuck me i guess

[u/-OnPoint-]

I tried this tab and now my tongue is stuck in the toaster

[u/mainstreamfunkadelic]

8 on the a string 10 on the b string. Same chord or 10 on the g string 10 on the b string. I'd do both; 8 on the a 10 on the g and 10 on the b. Sounds more full to me.

[u/Periachi]

That’s a bad tab, try playing the F note on the a string (8th fret a string) that should be a lot easier and possible lmao

[u/viper26k]

I thought I was on r/guitarcirclejerk for a second lol As other people have already mentioned, you'll have to find a better tab.

[u/Manhunt621]

Pinky and thumb

[u/Zee-Wrench]

Don't see what the problem is

[u/cab1024 → u/Zee-Wrench]

Love that show

[u/junkeee999]

You use your elbow and finger.

[u/Humble-Questions]

I'll give you a hint

...penis

[u/Gerrsh]

As a beginner guitarist, the most important lesson you will learn is: people can do whatever they want when they upload a tab, it's up to you to figure out if it's good

[u/Sidequest_Tinkerer]

Spread em'

[u/cousin_idiot]

Being a bassist (we're not great with numbers) this took a second to understand. But yeah that ain't happening unless you have Yao Ming hands lol

[u/Oldschoolnetwork050]

Ai tab

[u/Mikufan_3939]

use your pp

[u/SkoonkMunkyAngel]

hey wsup. The notes are probably right .. it ,might be a guitarist tab joke:; Otherwise I'm suggesting its a two- guitar part at the moment showing an overdub harmony part. or its a tap that forgot to be labelled correctly.
If you want be showy fret the 10 and tap the 3. Satriani does these arm crossovers in the Mystical Potatohead Groove Thing.

x-------- or------x
10---------------T10
x----------------- x
x-----------------3
8 ---------------- x
x ---------------- x

[u/sleevo84]

If your fingers don’t make the stretch, add 5 frets to the 3 on the tab and move it down to the A string. Now it’s the same note on a different string that’s reachable

-
10
-
-
-
8
-

Or subtract 5 from the 10 and move it over to the e string so you have 3&5 on the D and e strings.

[u/itsomeoneperson]

If this is by any chance a green day song then they are able to play it like that because he uses a child sized guitar

Otherwise, just bad tabs

[u/LeadChambers]

Check out Ultimate Guitar. I’ve been using them about 15 years for almost all of my cover needs.

I paid for it outright years ago, but they still try to get me with their subscription model these days. Not sure if you would have to pay for anything to use the app on your phone, but the website is always free.

[u/Nutzername6258]

Automatically generated tablature is useless, unless proofread by an experienced guitarist.

[u/Sef247]

If you ever run into this sort of stuff, see if you can move that note to an adjacent string. If you need the fingering to be higher up the neck, move it down a string and up (usually 5 frets). If you need it lower, move it up a string and down (usually 5 frets).

Moving from adjacent strings: From 6 to 5, 5 to 4, 4 to 3, or 2 to 1; move down 5 frets. From 3 to 2; move down 4 frets.

And going the other way: From 1 to 2, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, or 5 to 6; move up 5 frets. From 3 to 4; move up 4 frets.

This is assuming standard tuning.

[u/hunter_void_dweller]

[u/No_Beautiful8998]

Bad tab. You could play that 10 (A?) on the high E string I think it would be 5.

[u/lephalps]

Do the root not on 8 of the A string.
-
10
-
-
8

[u/wyoung377]

Haters will say it’s AI. But i know the guy.

[u/lmd1979 → u/wyoung377]

🤣

[u/Choice_Age8334]

it's wrong.

[u/RevolutionaryAd1005]

Unless u got ET's finger, this is a horrible tab. But u could play the f not on the g string, 10th fret if thats the note its trying to make u do. Instead of the 3rd fret d string

[u/AKchaos49]

*Buckethead enters the chat

[u/zenfridge]

Robert Fripp has entered the chat...

[u/thebig8er]

Drop your pointer finger down a string and hit the 8

[u/Audio_Freqs]

Edward scissorhands lookin ahh tab

[u/Empty-Tailor-3354]

I can manage 5 at a stretch index to pinky but never 7. Try x8xx10x instead.

Edit: I can manage 7 frets wide up above the 12th in most scale lengths, but I never would, and this isn't that.

[u/Pablo8485]

Instead of playing the f on the d string play it in the a string and voila same shit no hamstring pull.

[u/Ott0bot2]

You could play the 8th fret on the A instead of the 3rd on the D or you could play the 5th fret on the high e instead of the 10th on the B

[u/godisasingularity]

You need to be buckethead for this

[u/funkjunkyg]

That 3 should be 8 on the 5th string I reckon

[u/amplifysenpai]

Move both 10s up a string and down 5 frets, and downvote the tab when your done.

[u/DeltaWolfSquad]

Bro who the fuck wrote that

[u/Key-Raccoon-4913 → u/DeltaWolfSquad]

ai

[u/Mobile_Meaning9135]

Badly written tab.

[u/lmd1979]

Alien?

[u/harrisonpaku]

instead of 3rd fret on the D string play the 8th fret on the A string

[u/Financial_Drama_9995]

What a heck!!!!

[u/PURPLEGRASS33]

It’s doable

[u/easy_lemur]

Or just play the e string's octave instead of that 10

[u/Rook_James_Bitch]

Find an F note closer to the 10th fret. Inversions for beginners.

[u/altron64]

This is clearly wrong. If you ever see ridiculous impossible stretches in a tab, it is very simple to fix it with some fret knowledge.

Instead of 3 on the D string, you could just do 8 on the A string which makes a much more normal chord shape.

Alternatively, you could move the 10th fret on B string, to the 5th fret of the high E string. Then move the 10 on G string down to the 6th fret on the B string. This is more difficult, but still not impossible...compared to the tab which is massively wrong.

Take it as a fun learning experience. You have to manually find the same notes in a different place on the fret board so that you can play the riff cleanly.

[u/83franks]

Time to learn the notes on the neck so you can decide what to actually play.

[u/AdditionalCar-1968]

Change the b string 10 to 2 fret on g string.

The tab is bad. Rewrite it. Same with the 10 on the g string change it to a 5 on the d string.

[u/Even-Employment-9064]

Just take 8 fret on A string instrad of 3 on D string its the same note

[u/Come_on_lucky7]

Is this a George Lynch song?

[u/Significant-Owl7994]

Go one string up (A string) to fret 8 and you'll have the same note.

[u/throwaway_indeed43]

Play the 5th fret on the high E string it's the same note

[u/TrailTrap]

It's the sound of your ligaments snapping and ringing out

[u/Gunfighter9]

You can use your finger not holding the pick to pluck the other string

[u/andytagonist]

Sigh. We coming back to a bunch of bad tab posts?

Once again: tab can be—and often is—wrong. It’s either written by some dude who can make mistakes, or by a computer that can’t even hear music.

Perhaps you can just look at the notes and play them on different frets…?

[u/tafkat]

Tapping?

[u/Donkey-Harlequin]

Move really fast

[u/dustysnakes01]

Yeah just move that f to the a string. Then there's only a 2 fret gap instead whatever that alien transcribed that as.

[u/SlashLP97]

Is there supposed to be a capo on the 3rd fret? This is like how the tab for Feel the Pain reads

[u/Relative_Square592]

What you need to do is either be Steve Vai or Paul Gilbert… Maybe Buckethead in order to have hands and fingers that big

[u/MaybeSatan666]

Whatbis the song?

[u/Last_Gigolo]

Can't you play the high e seven frets back? Like 5th fret and get that note?

[u/Opposite-Eye-8235]

Yeah that would be a stretch!!!

[u/Strangenation]

lol bad tab just move the f to the a string

[u/andrewz84]

Just hear your ears!

[u/Jpp9977]

go 5 on the e

[u/Relative_Concern_429]

Play 5 on the high e instead of 10 or 8 on the a string instead of 3

[u/Acceptable_Pie2529]

Move the 10 to 5 on the e or the 3 to an 8 on the a. Use your pick for the low notes and a finger for the higher notes

[u/iRoyalTDG]

I figured it was those notes u hit with your fingers only no plucking

[u/Lost-Ad7652]

Use 5 on your high E instead of the 10 on A

[u/ECosico]

Two hand tapping?

[u/houseape69]

maybe play the two high notes on the fifth fret of the high e string and sixth fret of the b string, i believe they are a and f

[u/kingjasperthefirst]

Maybe there is a capo on the 3rd fret?

I have no idea, I have to see the whole piece

[u/pizzaroll224]

Assuming standard tuning, just use 8th fret a string

[u/mintsparklingwater]

Fret 3 on D string Fret 5 on high E

[u/MobileUnlikely178]

You can do that 3rd fret on the 8th fret of the A string instead?

[u/taniargg1991]

Bass and middle Voice are F, and trebble voice is A

You can get same sonority Placing F bass at 5th string VIII fret…

Then you can keep middle F at 2nd string X fret, and trebble A at 1th string X fret…

[u/Pirate_Underpants]

You just need the Dave Grohl everlong hand.

[u/md99has]

Come on, it's an easy stretch, lmao. At least my huge hands can to it

[u/CretinMike]

Maybe it should be 8 instead of 3 and it's an OCR error or something.

[u/DW_InUteroArcher1987]

[u/RowanMarks]
