tabs-what to do!

Oh ok, sorry about that, guess I should have mentioned that easrlier....
Okay first things first: hammer ons and pull offs.
   A 'hammer on' is simply when you pluck the string open, then press your finger down hard and quick enough on one of the frets to produce a slight sound. For instance, 0h3 (or open hammer on third fret), would mean you pluck the string open, then 'hammer' your finger down on the third fret to make that soft wuick little echo.
A 'pull off' is the opposite of a hammer on. You pluck the string then let off of it and let it echo. (example, 3p0 or third fret pull off to open, would mean you hit the string with your finger down on the third fret and release it and let the cho note ring).

  Okay next: bending and wiggling....
   bending the strings is one of the most important skills in playing lead guitar. Very simply you put your finger down on the string and you push it upwards (or downwards I guess but not as often). in tablature notation 3^5 (or third fret bend up to fifth) means that you play ON THE THIRD FRET, but you bend it to produce the pitch of a fifth fret note.
wiggling is the same thing except you bend it up and down rapidly (~)

  hope that helps

When you put your finger on a fret and pluck the string it produces a certain pitch, or 'note'. When you press down on the fret and push upwards )literally bending it, don't worry it wont break), you change the pitch or 'note', or in other words the sound becomes higher.
The tab notation 3^5, does NOT mean you move your finger from the third fret, it simply means you push the string upwards untill it produces the pitch equal to the one you would get from plucking the string with the finger on fifth fret.
  Most string bending occurs on the e,B,and G strings, because they are thinner and easier to bend. Its gonna hurt, but you just have to do it anyway. As you get into the tablature that requires bending the string up and holding it there, you'll need lots of finger strength.
  String bending produces a special sound, kind of wha, slightly distorted effect, and you wont get far without learning it. As always practice makes perfect.... try some CCR, and other older bands before they had lots of effects to work with to find string bends.
  SO, in conclusion:
     String bending = pushing down and pulling upwards on the string NOT lifting the finger, but moving it on the fret board towards the e string.
  PUSH DOWN, PULL FORWARDS

... by the way are you the same guy under a differnt screen name??
