The lines on guitar tabs correspond to the strings on a guitar, so there are six lines. The numbers stand for the fret you should hold down on the guitar. Note that the top string on the paper is the lowest - sounding note on your guitar.

They are the fret number you play on.

If you are playing our guitar, then set it on your lap, it is the same way a tab is set up, the dotted lines are the strings you play on, and the number is the fret to be on.

Guitar string packs (sets) are number from the highest note or thinnest string to the lowest or thickest. Typical tuning for a six string guitar from highest to lowest would be EBGDAE. So:

1=E

2=B

3=G

4=D

5=A

6=low E

I like using D'Addario string sets because they are color coded and it decreases the times I inadvertently grab the wrong string and string it on the wrong peg.

Depends what you mean.

If you're referring to sheet music, the numbers mean one of two things. If the number is written next to a note like this, ex. 4, then it means to play that note with that finger on the left hand (1 being your pointer finger and 4 being your pinky). If the number is written inside a circle, it means to play that note on that string, (i.e. (4) means to play that note on the 4th string).

If you're referring to tablature, then the number means which fret to play the note (ex. 2 means the second fret from the headstock).

How much is an Alvarez acoustic guitar worth model 5020 ser?

The model 5020 was made over a 25+ year range. It is a mid-range quality guitar, sturdy and known for good low and mid tones. A later serial number (label with stamped numbers, not hand-written) is a better guitar IMHO, as the older models may suffer less tone quality. Retail ought to range $250 - $350 depending on condition.

It depends which model you're talking about. The older ones used a coloured plastic 'tape' - the letters were pressed through the tape from the back - making the letters show up white.
