Hi All, just started back up playing guitar after not having played for a number of years. Stumbled onto this sight, Looks interesting like it it be a great place to get help and learn. Unfortunatly I'm not sure I'm smart enough hehe. I tried the "Easy fingerstyle Acoustic 1" lesson, and I don't understand the tab at all. The way the "reading tabs" in the FAQ says to read this wouldn't apply(well, i don't think so anyway) I see that you play a D chord but I don't know what the 3, 0, 2,2 mean. Can anyone help me get started?

D
E |----------------2--------------|
B |-3-----------------------------|
G |------2------------------------|
D |-0-----------------------------|
A |-------------------------------|
E |-------------------------------|

Also, is there anyone knowledgeable on 12 strings that can advise? I just purchased a washburn cumberland jumbo 12 string from musiciansfriend. It has great sound, its a real beauty but.. when i tuned it the base of the top raised noticably. It takes only the very slightest of pressure on the neck to distort the chord. Is this normal for a 12 string, or is this either a manufacture defect, or just plain poorly made guitar. I have about 2 more weeks of my 30 day money back left to decide if I should keep this guitar or not. I really like the guitar, its easy to play but don't want to keep it if it isn't going to hold up.

Thanks
