Guitar tabs, what does "2h4p2" mean?

Question

I just started picking up tabs, and was wondering what 2h4p2 meant, any suggestions?

Answer 1

It means strum fret 2, hammer on fret 4, and pull off fret 2.

Here is an article for basic tab reading. You learn the more advanced stuff from the website that you get the tabs from. Usually they will have a legend at the bottom of the page with the meaning of H, P, and others.
