I'm not sure if I understand what you're asking.... but a chord pattern might be just notations under the measures saying, G, C, G, G. Or, a chord pattern might be a picture showing you which frets are held down. Tab is almost always numbers on lines to indicate the frets.

TAB (Tablature) shows all the individual notes, chords and special instructions (tempo, rhythm, bends, hammer-ons, pick slides, amplifier and effects settings, etc.) required to play the piece. The Chord Patterns are exactly that: they just show which chords are to be played, without any of the single note & special instructions necessary for playing the complete piece. If you're just playing the rhythm guitar part, you might not need anything more than the chord patterns, but if you are playing lead or unaccompanied you will need the extra information in the atablature.

no difference. tab is how guitarist writes music. it's easier to read than a score. chord patterns any one can use, bass. piano. it's more universal. if your "charting" things out for other people use chord patterns. not every one uses tab. as a drummer if you give me tab i wouldn't know what to do, if you give me chords i could at least follow the music. learn chords signs and symbols. you'll find it easier in the long run.

TAB show you exactly where to put your fingers and which strings to play.
