tab question

Unread post by Grachi » Thu Jul 08, 2004 12:52 pm

D:---------8-------6-------5---------------6------
A:-----6-------4-------------------8---4----------
E:-4-------------------8-------6---------------8--
1 2 4 1 2 4 1 2 4 1 2 4


what do those numbers below E mean, like the 1 2 4 1 2 4 etc is it tempo or like how many times you play that note or something? (you'll notice it is the verse from satellite)

furthermore, 1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring, 4 = pinky.

I do the opposite of what you said:

/ is up (5/7)

\ is down (5\3)
