I'm not sure I understand your question... Can you please mention a specific tab?

[taparoo]

The numbers on the strings (next to the string name, like E, A, D, etc.) are the notes you play, they tell you which fret to play on which string. And the numbers above the string names tell you the suggested fingering for that riff or whatever you're playing, so a one would be index finger, 2 middle and so on. Hope that helps.

i'm not absolutely sure but i believe you are referreing to the fingering. the number that appears below or at the side of the tabs refers to the finger used to play that fret. 1=index; 2=middle; 3=ring; 4=pinky

Thank you for your replies. Got it figured out and am on my way to playing a couple of new songs. Any of you go the Gorge show last month or planning on next year?

Hi,

so what are numbers in brackets (4) and what do i do when there's a 'x' on the fret? Also what would "4 on 7" mean at the right hand side of a tab (see tab for lover lay down to see examples of these).

Many thanks./Steve

Hi,

so what are numbers in brackets (4) [ghost note, i.e., you might not play it, i think] and what do i do when there's a 'x' on the fret? [mute with left hand, by slightly rainsing the finger, for instance] Also what would "4 on 7" [4th finger on 7th fret] mean at the right hand side of a tab (see tab for lover lay down to see examples of these).

Many thanks./Steve
