| Apr 17, 2014 at 12:12 | comment | added | Bob Broadley | Tim - I can't read Chinese, so can't read anything on the site, but I would guess this is similar to TAB sites in the US and Europe, and this is probably not a published TAB, but is instead a "fan-work". For this reason, I would say the use of two different symbols for open strings is just an inconsistency on the part of the person who created the TAB. Besides, I'm always finding mistakes in published music too, and Chinese TAB books (this music may be copied from one) seem to have quite a few errors. | |

| Apr 17, 2014 at 11:08 | comment | added | Bob Broadley | Yep, I'm pretty certain of this; this would mean the first x open string continues to follow the melody (like notes 1 and 3). | |

| Apr 17, 2014 at 11:03 | comment | added | Bob Broadley | Well spotted. I reckon both mean open strings, but the notation isn't consistent. | |
| Apr 17, 2014 at 10:22 | comment | added | Tim | Bob - first 3 bars - 5th note is 'x'. In tab this usually means a dead note. In the 4th bar, there are similar notes, but shown with 'o'. I'm trying to work out if it's the same thing, shown differently, or what. | |
| Apr 17, 2014 at 7:31 | comment | added | Bob Broadley | That's just normal TAB. | |
| Apr 17, 2014 at 6:36 | comment | added | Tim | Yes, it appears that's what's happening, as each chord shape sounds in turn when the appropriate strings are played. Why are there numbers instead of x in the top line, and why would 'o' be written at the end of that line? | |
