Hi,
When reading TABS the TAB lines represent the open strings of the guitar (E,A,D,G, B, E). The bottom line of the TAB is the low E string /6th string of your guitar and the next line up is the open A string /5th string of your guitar and so on. The top TAB line is the high E string/1st string of your guitar. The #s on the TABS represent the fretted string to be played. So if the top TAB line has a 0 on it, you pluck the 1st string/high E string open. If it has the # 2 on the line, then you would finger the 2nd fret of the 1st string and pluck it. If there is no # on the line you don’t play the string. If several of the tab lines have #s on them all lined up under each other in a row, that’s when you would play those strings together or strum them. You can look online you can find lots of info about reading TABS.
I’m not sure which week and day you were struggling with, but if you can tell us which day’s TABs you were confused with that would help. I would just take it slow. Sometimes you can skip over the part you don’t understand and comeback to it later. I had to go over some lessons several times. Also I think some of us will have to go through the course a few times before things start to sink in. Hope that helps some.
