What is tablature?
- Tablature (or “tab” for
short) is a system of writing music for a specific instrument in a
simplified way so it can be learned without the necessity of having to
learn to read standard musical notation.
How do you read
tablature?

What are MIDI files?
- MIDI files are computer
generated files. On ezFolk most tabs have 3 MIDI files: one played at a
very slow speed, another played at a moderately slow speed, and one
played at normal speed.
What’s the difference
between MIDI files and MP3 files?
- As stated above, MIDI files
are computer generated files. However, MP3 files are actual recordings
of music by an artist such as you would hear on a CD or in live
performance. Many of the tabs on ezFolk have corresponding MP3s in
addition to the MIDI files.
What if there’s
something I can’t understand in a tablature?
I want to learn a
particular song from my favorite group. Can I get the tab here?
- Probably not. The tablature
on ezFolk consists of songs that are in the public domain (published
before 1923), so you probably won’t find a song by a modern group
unless they happened to record an old song that was public domain. You
can, however, learn to play an instrument on ezFolk, and after you
learn how to play you will have the techniques that will enable you to
play any music you like.
