    they're just like right-handed tabs 'cept you have to turn them upside down.

    Are you playing a right handed guitar? If not, tabs should be fine. If you are then tab will be just how you look at it on a computer screen.

    The way stuff is tabbed out is high e on top,low e on bottom, just like you hold your guitar.

    e
    b
    g
    d
    a
    e

    I am right handed and play a right handed guitar so I flip the over and apply it to the fret board.

    I hope thats not too hard to understand.

    Tab is just numbers applied to musical notes.

    If the tab has a number 12, fret the appropriate string just on the headstock side of the 12th fret.

    e
    5--8
    b
    5--8
    g
    5--7
    d
    5--7
    a
    5--7
    E---5--8

    That above should start on the E and end up on the e. (E)5,8(a)5,7(d)5,7(g)5,7(b)5,8(e)5,8 is the order you would play them.

    Go left to right. If more than one note falls in a straight vertical line, they are played at the same time.

    Here are a few open chords

    G e--3 C e--3 F e---1
    b--3 b--1 b---1
    g--0 g--0 g---2
    d--0 d--2 d---3
    a--2 a--3 a---x
    E--3 E--x E---x
