When you see the numbers directly above one another, that is a chord. When the notes appears one after the other on the horizontal line, they are picked individually. It's as if looking at the tab from left to right is a timeline.

Thanks again Mike
its not that we are all stupid in uk. ( well not all of it anyway )
The book is a beginers and ive been used to...
it is written with bar lines and a - indicating a beat.and a slide that looks like - but is slanted
(which I know we dont have on standard key board)
I surpose I will have to get used to the big boy's tab's and weain off the baby book..
Thank you again feel a bit better now I know what they mean.. kindest regards Paul |
