The number represents the fret number
where your finger should be positioned.
The number 0 means you should play that string open
(not pressing on any fret)
You move through the music from left to right so in
this example you would play:
Fourth string (D) played twice without holding down
any frets (open)
Second string (B) played once with your finger on the
3rd fret
Third string (G) played once with your finger on the
2nd fret
And so on ........
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------3--------------------------------3----------------------------------------
G-----------------------2-------------------------------2-------------------------------0---
D-----0---0---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------2---2-------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------3---3---------
One other problem with tab is that it doesn't tell
you which finger to use. You will have to
experiment with which fingers make it easiest to play,
but ultimately as long as you play it in the correct
fret, it will sound right.
