How to Play guitar tabs on piano

Have you ever heard a song on guitar and wished you could play it on piano?

This instructable is intended to teach you to do just that. In the next few steps I'm going to teach you to play music meant for guitar on a piano using basic music knowledge and some simple math.

This is my first instructable, and I got a little lazy with picture, I'll add more later.

Step 1: Things You'll Need.

A six string guitar (acoustic or electric, doesn't matter).

Basic guitar skills. ( Not teaching it)
Basic piano skills. ( Not teaching it)

I know this is late but, at least in piano, it's fine to have a B# because in certain keys and following theory, it is more correct to have the B# than a C. For example, in a harmonic minor, we raise the 7th tone by 1 semitone - so if B is the 7th, it has to be moved to B# for that scale, which is C# minor.

B# is enharmonic to C, as E# is enharmonic to F. You only included the latter....

sorry, my music knowledge is pretty basic, mind explaining it to me over a message?

He means that there is no such thing as B#. This is actually a simplification, because technically C is B#, and even beyond that, there are music systems other than the one you (and most Western musicians) are using in which there are notes that could be called B#. But, for your purposes, there is no B#. There is no key between B and C on the piano.
