Meaning of "tablature" in English

Tablature is a form of musical notation indicating instrument fingering rather than musical pitches. Commonly used for fretted string instruments such as the guitar, it provides a visual layout of the instrument's strings and frets. Each line represents a string, and numbers show which fret to press. Unlike standard notation, tablature is more accessible to beginners as it directly communicates how to play the instrument. Historically, tablature has been used since the Renaissance to notate lute music, and it remains popular in modern guitar music.
