Can anyone help me to interpret the action to be executed where there are zeros and the symbol that looks like y, and the 4 in the second line and 1st bar, and the curve in the second line and last bar. What do they mean? And does the arrow in the second line and last bar mean a strum starting from the 5th string?
A bit of guesswork. Yes, the 'x' means play the string shown, whilst holding down the chord shown. The 'o' probably means play that string with no fingers on - open. The 'y' is most likely a quaver rest sign, meaning play nothing for that moment.
Haven't a clue what the numbers under the staff are for, though. The arrow usually means a slow strum - an arpeggio, in the direction of the arrow. Adding to Tims answer. Looking at tabs on source you can see that there is a slide from 5 to seven on B and a hammer on 3 to 5. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

The dots on the remaining strings tell you which frets to hold when you strum the chord. Make sure to also strum the two open strings! Doing so will provide you with all the notes needed to successfully play the C Major chord. Tabs use a variety of symbols to help the player know how and when to add expression to what is being played.
The most common symbols are slides , pull-offs hammer-ons and bends. If you see this symbol between two notes in a tab, it means that you will slide your finger along the fretboard toward the next note instead of stopping the note when the duration is over as normal. Slides may be done up or down the neck and even performed on chords. Sliding provides a simple yet effective way of adding expression when playing. A Pull-off occurs between two or more descending notes.
When you see this written, be sure to pick only the first note and then lift your fingers off the fretboard in succession for each additional note in the pull-off. No additional picking is performed through the rest of a pull-off. Much like a pull-off, a hammer-on occurs between two or more ascending notes. No additional picking is performed through the rest of a hammer-on. A passage may include both a hammer-on and pull-off. A bend occurs when a note is picked and then the fretting hand is used to bend the string and slightly raise the pitch.
How far and long the string is bent can be just as important as any note in a song. A capo is a tool used by guitarist to quickly alter the key which sounds from the guitar. A capo will raise the key but not change the fingering in which chords are performed, making it a quick way to transpose a song. The numbers that are placed on the lines are the frets you need to fret on a particular string and a 0 indicates an open string. So here we have the 2nd fret on an A string indicated by the number 2 on the 5th line, and an open D string with a 0 on the 4th line:.
And this is what an ascending and descending C major scale in the open position will look like:. If you have numbers grouped together like this, then it means all the notes are played simultaneously like this C major chord:.
The Strokes. The square-shaped symbol indicates a downstroke and the v-shaped symbol indicates an upstroke. They can be used for both picking and strumming. The Rhythms. The stems look the same as traditional notes, except we replace the note heads with tab. Two bars of two half notes looks like this:.
Two bars of quarter notes looks like this:. Two bars of eighth notes looks like this:.
