Sounds like tablature instead of sheet music. Tablature looks like...

e------------------------------|
B------------------------------|
G------------------------------|
D------------------------------|
A--3------3----------3------3-|
E------3------0--3-------3----|


The "E" line is the string with the lowest pitch, or the "low E" or "6th" string. The numbers such as the 3 represent the fret.

Sheet music on the other hand...I might as well be dyslexic... :oops:
