Anybody besides me have trouble reading tabs? I fully understand how they work and what the little numbers on the lines mean. But I really have problems making it work.
I've always thought I was a little dyslexic when it comes to learning music from a page. I play a number of stringed instruments (bass, guitar, mandolin); but the learning curve on uke is harder than I've experienced before, particularly due to reentrant tuning. I've just got to force myself to work hard at tab every day until it becomes vaguely intuitive. But I'm never going to get really good at the ukulele unless I can put tablature to work for me so I can move past first position open chords.
I do fine with the chord block diagrams. Tab would be easier if it also included block diagrams for basic hand positions for the regular number tab below. But you rarely see that.
Wish me luck.
