pull off b - bend string up x - play note with heavy damping (usually indicates previous note) < - play note short ''''' - Sustained Note 4''''' - Strike and sustain the 4 over the time on the rhythm bar. RHYTHM BAR --1--&--2--&--3--&--4-- : The rhythm bar that appears below the tab lines shows where and how long to play notes, like standard musical, notation to show more accurately what's being played. 9b11 could be a fast bend for only a sixteenth note, or it could take an entire beat. The Rhythm bar should help to give an indication of timing. The physical length of a measure will vary to accomodate mechanics, 2 digit fret numbers, etc. but the note should appear directly under the point on the rhythm bar where it should be played. for example 10b12r10p8 looks like it takes a long time, but may only take 3/16s to play. 10b12r10p8 1--e--& 1--e--&--a--2-- - Sixteenth notes (4/4 time) 1--&--1--2--&--2 - A compound time like 12/8. Each beat a triplet. 1----e----a-2-- - Triplet over the beat (4/4 time) |____3____| An example in 4/4 time: |--1---&---2---&---3---&---4---&--a---1---e---a--2---&--- |___3___| / | | \ \ \ There's a Knock at the door
