Heyo,

I have been getting back into guitar after going on/off it for years.

I have looking at a few tabs there yesterday and I was just wondering what the numbers at the top of the tab mean? Like this one. I was thinking it may have to do with a strumming pattern, I'm not sure.

Intro:


1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

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


1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

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

4 beats in a measure, counted as 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. + being the "and".

Hang on... I'm not saying I know that to be fact. It was a somewhat educated guess. :)
