A|-2---------0-0-0--------------------2---------0-0-0------------------|

E|-0----------------------------------0----------------7-4-7-5-7-6-7-7-| . As you can see, it has numbers jotted on it. Those numbers reprisent the fret you are holding. Also, it sais what string you are holding down. Just incase you don't know what the strings are called, there are 2 wais to name them,from deepest to highest the first way goes E,B,G,D,A,e and the second way goes E,A,D,G,B,e. here is a key for you to know the signals: T= play with thumb. /= slide -up the frets-->. \= slide down frets h=hammer p=pull-off ~=vibrato x=dont strum the note its on /\=bend /\p=quarter tone /\f=full tone g=grace note. Oh, I forgot to tell you, to identify an open note it will have a 0 on the note.
