    Default Writing out Tab

    I'm writing out tab for "In the Mood" (in G major) for a friend. In the third measure there are a couple of flat(ted?) notes. How do I show the flats - or will she see them from the notation written above the tab?

    I don't read tab but am counting on knowing the correct note values and fingering is good enough!

    The notes in TAB are the position on the fretboard. There is no need to indicate accidentals. And besides you are providing the standard notation which you have that indicated.
