Often guitar tablature is referred to in different ways. You will also here it referred to as tab, notation, tabs and numbering. Sometimes if the tab comes with lyrics, sites will refer to it as sheet music but really they mean guitar tablature.

Whatever you call it, guitar tablature has become one of the primary ways that guitarists have learned to develop their skills without the expense of guitar lessons. Guitar tablature has also become a fantastic way for those who read sheet music to communicate their songs to those who cannot read music and do not understand 'keys' etc.

Before guitar tablature became popular, there was a gap between musicians who could read sheet music and those who could not. Guitar tablature has bridged this gap and brought guitarists closer together.
