ok, so i'm new to playing guitar. I learned some of the basic chords and now i'm trying to learn an easy song to start out with. (I can't get no) Satisfaction by the rolling stones is supposed to be easy, but i'm still having trouble reading guitar tabs. Here is the tab for the song. I understand that the 2, for example means to play the A (5th string) in the 2nd fret. I'm not sure what the lines (- - -) mean. Does that mean i hold it longer? hit that note more than once? I'm also confused why the letters are above the words? is this whole song played on the 5th string? sorry i'm a n000b! any help would be great. any advice for starters would be sweet as well! thanks everyone
