i understand what the EBGDAE going down the side means.
i know the lines going across represents the strings.

1) what does the numbers on the lines mean?
2) above the lines there are the letters H E S T Q what does it mean?

Answer 1

E,A,D,G,B,E on the left are your strings. The string on the bottom of the drawing is the low E string (the big one). You “read” from left to right. When you see a number it will indicate the fret to be used…for example if you see the number 3 on the bottom line you would play the low E string with your finger on the 3rd fret (counting from the end of the guitar closest to the tuning knobs). If all the numbers are lined up in a row from top to bottom play them at the same time. If they are spaced out play them one at a time. Good luck.

Answer 2

The numbers on the lines refer to the frets, e.g. fret number 5 on the D string will give you a G note.
If you look further down the page you will find that the letters above the lines refer to the duration of each note.

Answer 3

The numbers are fret numbers basically if it has a 3 on the a string just press down the string at the first dot on the fret board. and as for the letters i wouldn't know without seeing it.

Answer 4

ok the Numbers on the Guitar tab means to play that number Fret

like if it says E--------4-------2 ------6
you would Play the 4th Fret on E and then the 2nd fret on E and then the 6th Fret on E

And the Letters mean its the duration or how long u hold each note
W - whole
H - half
Q - quarter
E - 8th
S - 16th
T - 32nd
X - 64th
. - note dotted
|-n-| - n-tuplets

Answer 5

Go back to your link and actually read the whole page, Shannon.

Better yet - learn to read music, rather than just guitar tabs. You'll be a better musician in the long run.
