go to the guitart lesson page there u can find threads which can teach u how to read tab. I will try to make u understand in few possible words. As there are six strings in guitar. From thinner one to thicker e---- B---- G---- D---- A---- E---- Now for example solo of adat (because easier and known to ears) e|--4-5-4-4-4----4---------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------7—5-4-4-4---4-5-4-2-5---5h7p5-4----------------| here first u play thenner e string on 4th fret then 5th and so on. then 2nd string that is B string on 7th fret .... most important is timing with which u play first listen the song than time your fingers according to need. here "H" in the last part repesents "hammer on" means u will play on 5th fret and while it is vibrating strike your other finger on 7th fret. "p" represents "pull off" means when u struk your finger on 7th fret pull it rapidly while keeping your index finger on the 5th fret. this all requires practice. check other lesson as well because i m also a begginer and have very little knowledge.
