Does anyone know of a website that would write the tab just from watching my videos? :confused:

I doubt such a site exists, but I can tell you how tab works:

e----------
b--------1-
g------0---
d----2-----
a--3-------
e----------

The above is a very simple tabulation. At the beginning of each line you will see a letter; that indicates the string. On certain lines you will see a number; that indicates the fret you are to be playing. All you do now is play what it tells you, moving from left to right. So first you'd play a C on the A string, then an E on the D string, then an open G, then a C on the B string. Simple stuff.

Then there's the other stuff:

d---3h5--- (hammer-on)

e---1p0--- (pull-off)

g--4/6---- (slide)

a--12*--- (harmonic)

e---6^8-- (bend at the 6th fret until it sounds like it would at the 8th; bend a full step up) [I've also seen this as --6b8--]

Sometimes the symbols used are different, but if they are it's usually indicated at the top of the page what they mean.

Hope that helps!
