Tablature Term Help needed

[StealBird]

Could somone plz tell me what lb means in this tablature i think the 1 tho is just saying 1 as in u play the E on first fret but what does the B mean,i looked the term up on this site but it didint list it,still a noob

anyways heres the site,great thx to anyone who can give me a description on what it is and how to do it

its a bend from the first fret but it doesnt say where to bend it...probably just half a note

[StealBird]

alright,does anyone who actualy listend to the song have an idea how much to bend it?

[james]

its either a half or full. probably just a half otherwise it would say 1b2 or 1^2...thats if its a full so its most likely a half. just give it a try and see what it sounds like

[StealBird]

still dont no hwta bending is adsactly though,never came across it yet as im still a beginer guitarist,the site descibes this though

full
^
bend note; this tells which note (the carrot) and how much the note should be bent (full means a full step higher, half is a half ect.)

is bending like vibrato or somthing,fill me in lol,sorry for being an idiot :P

[james]

u play the note as normal but u bend the string...its a bass note so u take your first finger and move the string down toward the floor just after u pick the string. its just one bend if u know what i mean. not like trying a hendrix thing and crazy vibrato. just once. its a thick string so its going to be hard to do untiill u get your strength up. just keep at it. it wont be perfect at first but by the looks of the tab it looks like a nice song to be learning on. sry i havent listened to the song before.

[StealBird]

isnt that called a pulloff though,if not whats the difference then?

[james]

a pull off is where u pick the string while fretted and then u pull off the string. bending u keep your finger on the string

[james]

it should make a sound like "baow"

[StealBird]

ok so lemme get this straight,i judging by the tabs,since its in drop d im playing the thick E witch is now D twice THEN i put my index fingure on the first fret before i pick it and bend is down without taking my fingure off like a pull off i leave it on correct?

[james]

yup i think u got it. just 4 picks in that beginning part
open, open, 1st fret--> bend, open

sounds like (if u are jsut playing it at normal volume and not all metal like)
bum, bum, baow, bum

[StealBird]

i got it,thx for all your help,i seriously appreciate it,now i can ROCK ON! lol
