Hey Greg. It's not too tough:

That means pick the 3rd string with your bar at the 5th fret.

That means the same thing with the B pedal down.

Common kick-off, key of D--the ~ means pick string, then hit pedal.

Three note C chord in 3rd fret, 4th, 5th and 6th string in the 3rd fret with A and B pedals down.

"R" means the E raise lever--it actually means any raise lever--"L" would mean lower.

Some tabbers don't write A, B, C, R or L, but instead just # and ##, b and bb since thewre are so many guitar setups out there.

It ain't perfect but it gets the ideas across.

Making sense?
