Yes, you can take this a lot further. Keep in mind that tabs really won't offer you much in regard to theory. They serve their purpose to the degree of where to place your fingers and play something by sequence for those who can't read staff. This is what brings division in music. You don't have to read music to understand theory and don't need to understand theory to read tablature. In fact, some players just memorize where they need to place their fingers and never understand why.
Study the Major scale and you will see the light.
