kinda hijacking this thread for a quick question 
- is the distance between frets the same on acoustic and electrics?
I just borrowed an electric and it feels like the frets are closer together

what are the most common ways of playing Asus, Asus2, B power and C# power? And what exactly does 'asus' mean and what does 'power' mean?
And if someone knows how to play Over You by Daughtry, could you tell me what strum pattern you use? Thanks!

lol thanks guitarpix! I realized I've already seen that video and know how to read it, except I was confused cuz this format looked a bit different -- I still don't get why some numbers are together "33333" and some are like "33-33-33"

hi happyfeet and welcome to chordie.
This page you were looking at is "TAB" the dashes are representing strings.
the page you were looking at is more of a lead guitar notes so it looks like it is not actually chords that are shown, however sometimes on tab format chords are shown by having the correct numbers on the correct strings.
The numbers on tab are the frets that are held down.some people prefer tab as it gives you every note in a tune if written down properly rather than just having what chord it is in.
hope I have explained that ok for you

Thanks upyerkilt! I kinda get it now, but what do the dashes IN BETWEEN the numbers mean? does it represent a break?

To get the strumming pattern just listen to the song and strum along with it. You probably won't hit it first time but don't just stop, try to get into the groove and feel the rhythm. It doesn't have to be exactly the same as the song. Just about everyone plays the same song slightly differently each time.
Thanks aj1! lol I didn't even think about listening to the song to learn the strumming pattern.
yeah I think the chord ones are a lot easier to read, but I'd still like to learn tabs

I'm teaching myself how to play guitar and so far I can do most of the basic chords pretty well, and I've got basic a strum pattern. I wanna learn some songs, but I find that alot of songs are written in this format:
