reading guitar tabs is pretty simple. referring to the tab you put up, the first number is a 9, and its on the a string, so you count down 9 frets on the a string, and thats the first note. thats how you play the parts with only one number. for the parts where theres more than one number on top of eachother on different strings like this: 11
11

from the tab, you place one finger on the 11th fret down on the d string, then another finger on the 11th fret on the a string. thats pretty much it. you just put your fingers on the fret specified by the number and on the string specified at the beginning of the tab.

the x means to palm mute. if you dont know what palm muting is, you can drop one in my inbox or look online, i just dont want to put it on here if you already know what it means.

hopefully i explained that good enough for you to understand lol. sorry it was so long=] good luck!
