if it stands 1, it means its fret number one.
and the lines there on shows what string it is.
the lowest line is the lowest string.
understand?

it's really easy man,

highest string ------> -------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
lowest string ------> -------------------------------

and the numbers just stand for the fret you need to play.
a number 2 would mean to fret on the second fret. and a 17 would mean to fret on the seventeenth fret.

don't worry it's easy stuff.

sorry man,
i screwed my last post up. just imagine that all those tab lines are right on top of each other.

Check the tuning of the guitar first, Most of those tabs are common in Drop D Tuning.

This particular tab is trying to define meter. It's a major problem I have with contemporary tab. It tells what but not timing. Not a bad solution.

...that particular tab is garbage. I hope noone is trying to play it.
