I downloaded the bass tabs to My Sharona for my daughter as she is learning this with her guitar teacher. Above the tabs, there is a series of e's and q's.The e's are lower case and the q's are both lower case and upper case. There is one q+, but that may be a typo. What does the e and q stand for?

Thanks.

I reckon they are most likely quarter or eighth notes. The plus may indicate a dotted note. ( a note plus half it`s value.)

That makes sense Will. My mind went blank. What would be the difference between "q and Q"?

Thanks.

Hi Annette

The + = a tie and the capitals designate a dotted note. I am assuming that you got the tab from Ultimate Guitar and if you look at each measure, the ones with the "capitals" do not have 4 beats they are an eight note short because the quarter note that is capitalized is dotted.
