Bob Marley - Three Little Birds - Guitar tab 🎸 FATpick

Exodus

The following is an "ASCII Tab" rendition of the score for this track. If you're not familiar with guitar tablature, see our blog post How to Read Guitar Tablature for an introduction. Here's a quick summary:

Each horizontal line represents a string on your guitar. The top line corresponds to the thinnest (highest pitch) string. The bottom line to the thickest (lowest pitch) string. The letters at beginning of each line indicate the tuning of the corresponding string.
In tablature, notes are represented by numbers that indicate the fret (and string) used to play the note. For example, to play the note indicated by a 3 on the bottom line you would hold the thickest string of your guitar down at the third fret and pluck or strum the string. A 0 indicates an open string, a note played without holding the string down at any fret.
Notes that are aligned vertically are meant to be played at the same time, like strumming a chord. Vertical lines (|) mark measure breaks, but in general rhythm and timing (note durations) are not well represented in plain text tablature, so it works best if you're already familiar with the song.

This tab style is primitive, but popular. You can find the music to a lot of songs in this format on the Internet. And it works well enough as a convenient, if rough, guide to playing songs that you know well. But the format is very limiting: It only really tells you where to put your fingers. This style of tablature is only helpful when you already have a pretty good sense of how the song goes and can fill in rhythm, tempo, strumming patterns, dynamics and so on - virtually everything but the notes themselves - on your own.

This is one of the problems the FATpick app is designed to solve. FATpick extends the tab notation you already know to convey critical information like note durations, accents, phrasing and dynamics - in a clear, precise and intuitive way. But that's not even the half of it. FATpick presents this enhanced tablature in a powerful, animated and interactive viewer that makes tabs easy to read and navigate while playing. You can hear as well as see the music - each song is synchronized with backing audio - so you can quickly pick up songs you've never even heard before and the experience feels less like "practicing the guitar" and more like "playing with a band". AND FATpick evaluates your performance as you play along, giving real-time, objective feedback to help you improve. FATpick is a better way to learn to play guitar.
