| ''1 2 3 4'' || Tab does not have any formal rhythm notation. Usually, the spacing between the fret numbers attempts to indicate a rough sense of timing; but often this is not good enough. Numbers above the tab usually indicate the beat, allowing you to line up notes to each beat.

|-
| ''1 n 2 n 3 n 4 n''||Same as above but includes the "ands" (8th notes in 4/4) between beats.
|-
| ''A B C D'' or ''a b c d'' || The classical name of the note being played. This helps to associate fret/string pairs with their note names. It may also be essential to know which harmonic order of an artificial harmonic to use.
|-
| ''i m r p t'' || Stands for index, middle, ring, pinky, and thumb - indicates which finger to use to play the given note.
|-
| measure numbers || In formal sheet music, the measures are often numbered, simply ascending as they occur (1 2 3 ... n). Tab found on the internet rarely includes numbered measures; however, it is more likely to be found in professional tab books.
