I've been trying to learn how to play my four string and I only found three string tabs. I am awaiting a response in another post how to convert 6 string to 3 string, but my question is why isn't there more 4 string tabs out there and why not more rock titles or even folk music? Thanks

Hi Edward, just saw your message. Kind of hard to explain with text, but here it goes using this track as an example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B3g2sBmGGM
It's a standard 12 bar blues with a 4 bar intro, so it counts off the beats with a click at the beginning which goes 1...2...1.2.3.4., that gives you your tempo and 4 beats per bar, so think in your head 1.2.3.4.1.2.3.4 etc.
A way I like to write out these chord progressions is using the chord name and slashes to show the number of beats to play, so writing out 4 beats (one bar) of a G chord would look like this:
G / / /
The chord name (G) represents the first beat and the slashes mean to play that chord for the remaining three beats.
So in this example, here's how I would write the whole thing out:
Intro (4 bars)
D / / / C / / / G / / / G / / /
Then into the repeating 12 bar form like so:
G / / / G / / / G / / / G / / /
C / / / C / / / G / / / G / / /
D / / / C / / / G / / / G / / /
I guess I should put this up in the description of the video for others. I think I put the chord changes in most of the other non blues songs I've posted. Hope this helps!
Hey Edward, I'll get some 4 string versions of those jam tracks together if that's what you're looking for. I know there's not a ton of tabs out there in general for 4 string. I think we're still in the beginning stages of getting specific songs tabbed out for CBG. Let me know if you have anything specific in mind...
