---------------- L - tied note x - dead note g - grace note (n) - ghost note > - accentuded note NH - natural harmonic AH - artificial harmonic TH - tapped harmonic SH - semi harmonic PH - pitch harmonic h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend br - bendRelease pb - preBend pbr - preBendRelease brb - bendReleaseBend \n/ - tremolo bar dip \n - tremolo bar dive -/n - tremolo bar Release up /n\ - tremolo bar inverted dip /n - tremolo bar return -\n - tremolo bar Release down S - shift slide s - legato slide / - slide into from below or out of upwards \ - slide into from above or out of downwards ~ - vibrato W - wide vibrato tr - trill TP - tremolo picking T - tapping S - slap P - pop < - fade in ^ - brush up v - brush down The "L" meaning is the most common question in my lessons so here what I've replied in one of them: "A tie is a curved line connecting the heads of two notes of the same pitch, indicating that they are to be played as a single note with a duration equal to the sum of the individual notes' note values. It's not important if you are reading tabs because we don't use note values. The "L" is generated when I export the tabs from the guitar pro where you have all the note values (including the tied notes)." Let me know if you have another questions!

QUOTE (fatb0t @ Jan 14 2008, 05:17 PM)  Hm, how exactly do tied, ghost, and grace notes work? I see them often in tablature but aren't sure how to do them... It's just a new note value (longer... if you have a eight note conected with curved line to another eight note, that would be the same that if you had a quarter note). The "L" symbol doens't matter when you are reading tabs... it appears when you export a guitar pro file to a text file. gab.- -------------------- My lessons
