hello everyone. new ard here. haha. i was trying to find the chords to some songs on jitapu where i stumbled upon the IMG files posted by finefly on tt website.

eg http://www.jitapu.com/tabPages/66/img20062424102404.htm#

can anyone tell me how to read tt thing? those 6 lines they write TAB and then there are lots of lines around but i dont know what they mean. any help is very much appreciated, cuz i wanna learn how to play that song on guitar (:
 
lowest line = low e string
second lowest = a string
third lowest = d string
fourth lowest = g string
fifth lowest = b string
sixth lowest = high e string
 
um does it sound weird when u play them? hmm like does it go along well with the song? i qt noob at guitar still and cant play it fast enough to know if it'll sound nice..
 
if it sounds weird, either ur strings are not tuned properly or the song did not include crochets and quavers to show u how long each note needs to be played. if it ever sounded weird because of the tabs, that tab will most probably be removed by the site admins a few days after it is posted -.-
 
Wow that tab looks different from what I usually use. I'm taking a wild guess here, but I think that the 'x' on the tab means that you play that string while holding the chord shape shown above. Those numbers are pretty self explanatory - just press the fret which corresponds to the number.

as imkeith has stated,
lowest line = low e string
second lowest = a string
third lowest = d string
fourth lowest = g string
fifth lowest = b string
sixth lowest = high e string

Have fun!
