Explanation of how to read my tabs

[tomEisenbraun]

Okay, I know I confused the crap out of Meg before, and I think Ratsprayer may be jumping on that boat.

So here's how it works when I write out chords.

Let's take the Oxen chords for example, since that was the one in question.

I wrote out the first chord as C: 000000

the way this might be easier read is:

e-0
C-0
G-0
C-0
G-0
C-0

basically, I write out the chord from lowest string to highest string, going left to right. The number corresponds to the fret.

Take a regular C chord for example:

e-0
B-1
G-0
D-2
A-3
E-x

my way~ C: x32010

so the x is for the string you don't play, and all the strings read from left to right.

I hope this helps.

haha, thank you. You understand how the chords work, though right? Would it help if I wrote in there who to tune to CGCGCE?

I try to avoid too many stickies so I included a link in all your tab topics to this one.
that should work.
