Topic: tabs
When reading tabs, I am seriously confused when I see chord charts that show more than 4 finger positions on the fret board. What does this mean and how is this possible?

Re: tabs
Those are generally barre chords. You lay your index finger across several strings and make the rest of the chord with your remaining three fingers.
There are a million recommendations and threads on here about barre chords. It would probably be helpful for you to do a topic search on them. Also, there are some Youtube videos giving instruction on barre chords.

Okay, so I was looking at Ring Of Fire, and I found the Intro tab, but it's kind of odd. Here it is:
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------0-----------------------------|
|---7-7-7-7-7-7 ---9-----7----------4-4-4-4-4-4--5--2-4--|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------0------------------------|
|--0-7-5-4----0-4-5-----7-7-7-7-7-7----9-----7--------0--4-4-4-4-4-4--5-2-4--|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I was just looking on YouTube and there are lots of lessons for this song.

I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

We need to grow more fingers?
We pronounce it "Guf Coast".

Re: tabs
Hi Michael,
Isn't that tab laying out the melody line for the Ring of Fire: "Love is burning flame"? I think you can pick it according to the rhythm that Johnny Cash sings it.

Thanks.
Looks like and sounds like the melody played on the open e string. Why? I'm not sure maybe our theory Guru's can answer.

Re: tabs
Yes it is laying out the melody line, but it starts out as Love Is A Burning Thing. You were very close on that. Thanks for your help!
