The browser indents the lines if your window is too skinny. MAKE SURE THIS LINE YOU ARE READING GOES STRAIGHT ACROSS AND IS NOT INDENTED Now assuming you have it wide enough, the way to read tab is as if the guitar is lying down face up, in your lap. The dotted lines--------are the strings, the numbers are the frets. So it is like looking at the neck, with frets indicated by numbers. The strings are in this order: E(mi)=first string B(si)=2nd G(sol)=3rd D(re)=4th A(la)=5th E(mi)=6th The number "4" indicates the 4th fret. The number "0" is the open string, etc. E-----------------0-------0----- B--------------5----------5----- G----------4--------------4----- D-------6-----------------6------ A--------------------------------- E--------------------------------- Reading left to right the notes are G#(4th string 6th fret), B(3rd string 4th fret), E(2nd string 5th fret), and E again (1st string open). When the notes are separated, you play left to right, so this is an arpeggio. When the notes are written vertically, then they are played together as a chord. Ricardo
