Question about reading music.

Ok I've been practicing the appeio scale over and over, and have been doing songs that only use the high E, B, and G strings.

My fingers are starting to get used to moving around the frets and things I couldn't do at all a week ago are easy now...

My question now is when reading music.....there are "rests" and I just wanted to know if during a rest you stop the note before the rest, or you let the note play throughout the rest.

I gotta be at work soon, but I'll try to remember to post a lesson about "rests" (and other notations) as soon as I can. For a quickie lesson, without pictures, here's a brief explanation about some rests for you.

A rest indicates that a silence will be heard for a specific amount of time (depending on which rest is used).

There are the following types of rests:

Whole note
Half note
Quarter note
Eighth note
Sixteenth note
Thirty-second note
Sixty-fourth note
Double whole note

I'll do my best to remember to post a lesson going into detail on these at some point (no time to do so now though).
