What do the p, h, x, and b mean?! It's been driving me crazy. Also, how would you go about doing those things?
On tabs, what do the "b", "h" "p" and "x" mean?
Hey, I'm trying to learn some new songs by looking off tabs on the Web, and I keep running into tabs that have weird things on them, for instance, and this is just an example, some might say

The "b" means to bend the note for example "7b" (bend the note on the 7th fret upwards)
The "h" means a hammer on from one note to the other like "7h9" (strike the note on the 7th fret and without striking the note again put your finger on the 9th fret.)
The "p" means a pull off from one note to the other for example "9p7" (after striking the 9th fret without striking the string again, pull off to the 7th fret).
The "x" is a muted note. (just means to mute a string, place your right hand over the strings, bearly touching the strings, then pick the muted string)
I can't really explain it that great, but maybe there is someone else out there who can explain it better. Hope it helps a little bit.

I just wanted to say that Fender Man did a good job of explaining. It might help to get a teacher by the way. It's amazing what you can learn from an experienced teacher.
