"hiding" tablature - adding a blank tablature to music

[Ryan Clarin]

Hello,

I am trying to add a completely blank tablature to some music. The idea is to create a worksheet where my students have to fill in the tablature for notes.  

I think I need to utilize the \hide feature within a \new TabStaff {

but I just can't figure it out, nor can I find it in the manual.  

Thank you for your help! I should add this is for a 4 string ukulele.
