A darn good read

Way back when, I had to take a course titled Professional Communication for Engineers. I thought I was done with all my English courses after surviving IB and taking a Gordon Rule class for Gen Ed. In any case, I'm glad it was required because it introduced me to the various forms of technical communication utilized not only in my future coursework, but also in industry. I even got the opportunity to interview actual engineers at the University for my group's final mock proposal.

One of our assignments was to write an instruction manual on "how to" do anything (anything of our choice). It had to be written in a way that "anyone" could be able to pick up the manual and do whatever is asked of them. So it was less on theories and definitions and more on objectives and execution. To no surprise, I chose to make it music related.

I decided to make it about reading guitar tabs. You don't know what tabs are, you say. Well then, I highly recommend you read my instruction manual, Reading Guitar Tablature. How can you do that, you ask. Well, I just so happened to have posted a link below with (further) instructions on how you can download a copy (for free!!!).

Hopefully, I've done a good enough job on the manual that "anyone" can accomplish the task detailed in the Appendix. We'll see...

I mostly copy other people,
