    Hi friends
    i got some doubt in reading tabs..
    How to play the tab given below..

    -5---2--e
    -5---2--B
    -4---2--G
    --------D
    --------A

    do we need to pick all the three notes together like we play in chords?

    6String_assasin The Painkiller

    yup, the first chord with 5's and 4's is 'Esus4' (E suspended 4th), and the second with the 2's is 'A6' (A sixth). :) ;)
    :rule:

    me again...

    sorry to bug you guys...
    but see this piece of tab (its just an example)

    ---5---9---0-------------------e
    -----8--------8----7-----------B
    ---7------------7------2-------G
    -----------------------2-------D
    ----------------7--------------A
    -------------------------------E

    in the above tablature how to play the 5 and 7 on e and G,
    7 and 7 on G and A
    2 and 2 on G and D..
    we need to pick only those two strings simultaneously or do we need to strum all the strings? because in lead we generally pick individual strings..
    please help..my doubts may be silly but iam very much new to this notes and tabs though iam playing carnatic classical stuff for two years..
    thank you

    the may be fingerpluckin if its an acoustic/classical piece or the middle string could be muted by the left hand if its something u playin with some noise
