You will laugh at me for this, but....

Numbers are written on the lines to show you where to fret the string
with the left hand. If a zero appears , this means play the open string.
Like standard musical notation, you read from left to right to find
out what order to play the notes. The following piece of TAB would mean
play the sequence of notes (E F F# G G# A) on the bottom E string by
moving up a fret at a time, starting with the open string.


E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E---0--1--2--3--4--5---------------------------------------------

That has confused me. I'm attemting to learn tabs. I'm not doing to well.

Drum tabs are so much easier.

*sigh*...I think...the numbers mean which fingers you need to put on that chord. Iunno.

Right, so all you have to do is play open E, then fret at the first and play, then move your finger down a fret each time while you play.

yeah. the numbers are for the fret. doesnt normally tell you which finger to use in tabs...

it's easy enough, though i cant really talk, it took me long enough to understand...the 6 lines are the strings, lowest is the bottom e, and highest is the top e...and the number are where you need to postition your fingers on the fret board...so 0 would be just play an open e, 1 would be on the first fret ect...

well... tabs arent as hard as you think, i kind of had a little trouble doing it but when i finally figured it all out, i can play any song in about ten minuets

tabs are very easy, i didn't understand em before eather, but i kinda wanetd to learn Good Riddance. n luckily , i got to make myself understand em before. so , um they are very easy, n if u can't find any help here, just lookat one, think n then u'll get it

Tab's are werid, I've always learnt by chords.

if your playing chords its easier to read from just the letters, like A,B,C,D e.t.c rather than writing the chords out in tab form. well i think it is.
