Guitar Tabs
OK. I asked around and I didn't seem to get a right answer and some people told me to come to you b/c you have the guitar know-how. So here's my question.
High E-3---------------
B -0---------------
G -0--------------
D -0---------------
A -2---------------
Low E -3---------------
^ <-- Ok. The last question: What do the dashes mean? Pauses? Rests? What does it mean? Thanks in advance! ~Steph~

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
the dashes, in this case, represent nothing - they just show the virtual string on which you are playing. So, in this case, you're looking at the G major chord. Typicaly, you'll see it written as 320003, which corresponds to the notes G, B, D, G, B, G - and the tablature you show is exactly that.
Now, if the tab were showing an actual song, the amount of space left between notes can be indicative of how long/short the note is. I've also seen people write an extra line above the tab with "W", "H", "q", "e", "s" for whole, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes.
When you see a dash, in the simplest sense, it just means that nothing is going on on that string at that particular moment.
Feel free to spew any other guitarish questions my way.
