  the line= which string
  number= which fret you put your finger on

  / or s= slide to (example: 4/5 means hit on fourth fret slide to fifth)
  p= pull off
  h= hammer on
  ^ = bend string
  ~= wiggle string

Re: Tabs - How To Read

well if you've been playing that long you got me whupped by a few years friend lol, Im mainly an acoustic player, but I do read tabs and plunk around on the electric occasionally. I'd reccommend some AC/DC, try Back in Black and Hell's Bells....
I think you'll just have to try it and see, its a great song, but you'll get a feel for your level after awhile

Kurt Cobain learnt to play the guitar by playing Back in Black, so I'd say that's a good choice.

Try Basket Case or Welcome To Paradise by Green Day. Really basic songs (or at least some sections are).
