But lately I have started to become interested in using tabs since they are much more abundant and also easier to get. I have a question about tab notation though, which confuses me a bit: When there is a letter "b" next to a note, it means you have to bend it usually. But it doesn't tell how much to bend, semitone, full tone, or even more !?!? How do you determine how much to bend by looking at the tab only ? Cheers..

Would make more sense if it said 7b9, not quite sure, I don't really use tabs in that way I tend to just bend the note to the tone I hear in the song, and try and get it as right as I can, but I also use guitar pro, where you can bress (b - shortcut for bend) on the note and it'll tell you what note it is bended to, also over the bend it says ½, 1, 1 ½, etc. I would recommend getting Guitar Pro, great tablature program! , or even TuxGuitar (free) Rock on!
