Hey guys, I'm new here and also quite a beginner at playing guitar.

I've just learned how to read tab and can do pretty well figuring it out. I know the numbers on the lines mean the frets of course and depending upon how they are positioned whether you pick one string or play them all.

I have the most difficult time with "Do the panic" by Phantom Planet. The tabs confuse me!!!

It's like this-

e|----------------------------------------------|
b|----------------------------------------------|
g|----------------------------------------------|
d|----6---4---2-----6---6---6---4---6---4-------|
a|----0---0---0-----2---2---2---2---2---2-------|
e|----------------------------------------------|

e|-------------------------------------|
b|-------------------------------------|
g|-------------------------------------|
d|----6---4---2-----6---6---6---4------|
a|----0---0---0-----2---2---2---2------|
e|-------------------------------------|

Yet I'm very confused. 6-4-2? How is that possible? When I see people play it (even other than Phantom planet themselves) it doesn't look anything like the tabs are where they have their fingers.

(Keeping in mind this is just the intro) Could someone please kinda explain to a real noob where you put your fingers and such.

Thanks a million!!!
