   its pretty simple really... each line represents a string on the
instrument, the one on the bottom being the E string, the one of the
top being the G string. Each number that appears on the line represents
a fret number. For instance:

G-----------0-

D-------------

A-------3-----

E---2---------

if you were to see a tab like that, you'd first play the E string and
fret the 2nd fret, then play the A string and fret the 3rd fret, and
then play an open G string. Most tabs have key/legends towards the
bottom as well... good tabs to look at are the ones for Rush basslines
that you commonly find online, that have nice key/legends at the bottom
and even have time/tempo designations. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
