Title: Help on Guitar Tab Notation
Post by: jonel on January 04, 2019, 08:29:44 PM

Hi All,
  I know this may not be the right place to talk about guitar notation, but can anybody tell me what 2/3CV means with regard to guitar and possibly fingerpickong?

Thanks

I very quickly googled that and from what I gathered in a quick scan is that the c refers to a 'barre', the V means 5th fret and the 2 and 3 refer to the fingers used. You'll be able to confirm this by looking yourself though.

Thanks for your help. I did google before posting but clearly not well enough.

Wow - I have been playing guitar for 30yrs, got an Honours at Grade 8, have an Advanced Diploma in Music Theory and I have NEVER seen nor heard of that approach to notation

I wonder how common it actually is or whether someone has devised their own system?
