I'd love to have a dime for every time guitar tableture and intuition are locked in direct conflict with each other. I also find frequently find myself confused by these counter intuitive protocols.... Up the neck of the guitar... is down the scale of notes. Now down facing arrows siginify upward strokes. The irony of trying to confine sound on paper (or screen).

You say "high" and I say "low", then you say "why" and I say "what the hell"!

Oh well, if I wanted easy, I guess I should have just settled on learning how to play the TV.
