Guitar tabs??

Question

i am learning how to play guitar and i can kinda read tabs but i dont know what the h is?? it comes after some notes like 5h

Answer 1

It means Hammer-On. Put your first finger on the 5th fret of that string and take whatever other note it is and push down on it while still holding the 5.

So you your first finger on 5... so say it is a 7 next to the h. So it looks like --5h7--

You are going to take your ring finger and push down on the 7 fast and hard and hold it.

Finger on 5, pluck note, ring finger pushes down on string and holds there...

Good LucK!!

Answer 2

that means "hammer". A technique called hammering on. When you pluck the open string, you hammer  your finger down on the string at the 5th fret right after you pluck the string. It gives the sound that two notes are being played, when all you are doing is plucking a string, then the hammer causes it to change tone.

Answer 3

its a hammer on, it means that, you pick a note, and with another finger you whack another string, and it will create a noise
