How to Read Ukulele Tablature (TAB)

You will find this chart helpful in understanding and reading ukulele tablature. With your ukulele in playing position, turn it over so the strings are facing you. Visualize each string as a TAB line. Try playing a short melody while reading TAB and holding your ukulele this way. Are you better able to read TAB now? Then it's time to hold your ukulele the correct way! 


There are many simple TABs in my melodies folder on this site. Check them out! When reading a melody in TAB, try switching back and forth between staff notation and TAB to build skills in both types of notation.
