Is there a difference between acoustic and electric guitar tabs?

Can you get tabs for a song that you know was originally electric and play it on a acoustic guitar? (and vice versa)

Answer
Acoustic guitar tabs are written so you can play alone with just one guitar. Sometimes these are the same as electric guitar tabs.

Electric guitar tabs often imply that the tab is intended for playing within a band and so it may not sound so good on its own without support from drums and bass.

Just listen to the guitar in an acoustic track as opposed to a full band track. The acoustic guitar will fill in the gaps where the electric is not playing.

How Do you read guitar tabs / notes?

I've been wanting a guitar ever since I was 6 and Today I'm going to buy one, but I've been looking at tutorials and I still don't know how to read acoustic guitar tabs / notes? Any suggestions or website links or anythink that would help me :) thanks

Answer
Guitar tabs are pretty straight forward, all the horizontal lines represents one string. As there are six strings, there are six lines. The bottom line represents the bottom string (the thickest one), the line above represents the fifth string, the one above that the fourth, and so on. The numbers represent what fret to play.

------------------------------| <represents top string
------------------------------|
------------------------------|
------------------------3----| < the number represents what fret to play on the string on which
-------------------------------| it is located
------------------------------| < represents bottom string


I don't have the skill to teach you to read music, but there's heaps of stuff online. Good luck :)
