Johnny Cash Guitar Tab And Chord

There are several techniques specific to playing guitar and other string instruments. These are commonly noted in guitar tabs by capital letters along the staff depicting a guitar’s six strings. Below is a list of the letters used along with a brief description of the technique.

Hammer On's in Guitar Tab

Capital H designates a hammer on in guitar tab. Guitarists achieve a hammer-on by plucking a string then forcefully pressing a different fret along that string to raise or lower the note’s pitch.

The two numbers right beside each other above the capital H indicate the two notes of the hammer-on. A 0-3 on the third from the bottom line of the staff, for example, would tell a guitar player to pluck an open D string then quickly press that string on the third fret.
