Hi there,

A lot of tab on the internet is incorrect, so the only tablature that you should/could directly follow is that from a book or scored out as sheet music ( However you don't read Music, so I wouldn't worry about the last part ). The only thing I find tablature useful for ( on the internet ) is as a guide. You must use your ear to decipher the rest of the song and can use the tab as a guideline.

Unfortunately, tablature does not give any rhythm indications at all, so the reader is left up to discern that on their own. For those people who have not developed their Aural skills ( you ), this is a hard task. However, anyone can learn how to do this and you won't have to play guitar for 18 years either :p

If you have basic theory knowledge then I would direct you towards http://www.teoria.com and tell you to use the exercises for ear training on the site. It will help you distinguish intervals, chords, and rhythm.

Hope this helps! Take care.
