Exodus

The following is a plain-text rendition of the tabs for Three Little Birds. This is not the format you'll find in the FATpick app, but a bare-bones version that's more easily shared on the web. (See below for a demonstration of the FATpick game play experience.)

If you're not familiar with guitar tablature see How to Read Guitar Tablature for an introduction. Here's a quick summary:

Horizontal lines represent the strings on your guitar. The top line is the thinnest (highest pitch) string, the bottom line is the thickest (lowest pitch). The tuning for each string is shown at the beginning of each line.
Numbers indicate the fret used to play each note. For example where you see the number 3 you should press the string down just above the third fret and pluck. 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.

This style is crude, but popular. And it works well enough as a rough guide to playing songs that you know well. But it is limiting: it really only tells you where to put your fingers. Basic tablature is most useful 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 that FATpick is designed to solve.

FATpick extends the traditional tab notation to convey critical information like duration, accents, phrasing and dynamics in a clear, precise and intuitive way.

But that's not even the half of it. FATpick's enhanced and interactive player makes tabs easy to read and navigate while playing.

And you can hear as well as see the music: Each song is synchronized with backing audio tracks so you can pick up new songs quickly and not just "practice" the guitar but experience playing with the band.

AND FATpick evaluates your performance as you play along, giving real-time, objective feedback on your accuracy and timing to help you improve.

It really is a better way to learn to play guitar.
