I am sorry for asking this question BUT I have not played tab for over a year. What does 11 10 15 indicate ? I may have to start from scratch. Maybe a reminder will get me on track. Thank you.

Hey Darren,
Thanks for the comment and glad you asked! Remember that if one person has a questions about something, chance are MANY other have the same one! Guitar Tablature works by using a number on a line. The lines represents the guitar string (the bottom line being the big E string all the way to the top line being the small (high) e string).
The numbers represent the fret that you play on that string. So the first two notes of this lick show “11” twice on the top line… So you would play the 11’th fret on the high E string twice as the first two notes of the lick.
To know the rhythm of those two notes, it depends on the tab… Some low quality tabs don’t even show the rhythm so you have to use your ear to figure it out. In this quick lick tab, the rhythm is above the tablature using normal music notation. Other forms of Tabs show the rhythm in the tab line.
Hopefully that helps explain it better…
