Tablature Legend
---------------- 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!

Hm, how exactly do tied, ghost, and grace notes work?
I see them often in tablature but aren't sure how to do them... |

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
