Check out an excerpt of the solo part of the same song: Notice the presence of "C" and "D" again, but now alongside "H", "P" and "S", indicating that they are something else.

Improve this answer. Alex Basson Alex Basson Good explanation. You should play on position not-bended the first B and bend quickly do C before releasing in the next bar. I am surprised to find these "C" and "D" letters though. This can be across multiple strings or on a single string. Think of a funk guitarist playing some percussive rhythms on his guitar without chords ringing out.
Those are muted hits. When a note is in parentheses in Guitar TAB, it either means to play a ghost note or that the note is continuing to ring out.
In the below example, the notes in parentheses are ghost notes. This means you need to play the notes in the parentheses softer than the rest of the notes. Normally when a note rings out to the next bar, parentheses are used to show that the note is still ringing out. You may also see A. You may also notice that the notes in the standard notation staff show as diamonds when a harmonic is used. This is sometimes displayed above the staff with a capital T, while other times it is displayed next to the note usually on text-based TAB.
The curved line over all of the notes in formal Guitar TAB reminds us that all of this is played without picking legato. As you can see, tapping in text-based Guitar TAB can get really confusing and hard to read. When I was learning guitar I would print out the TAB and use a highlighter to clearly see which notes were tapped. Check out these great tapping solos to learn about tapping.
This is usually displayed above or below the staff and is followed by a dashed line if the palm muting is held for a long time. In the above example, you only play palm muting when there is a PM or dashed line below or above the staff. The other notes are played without palm muting.
In some older text-based Guitar TAB, this symbol may not be used at all if the song heavily uses palm muting. For example, in some metal songs, almost the entire song uses palm muting. It would be messy to add a dashed line to every note, so it is often left out. There are many more symbols that can appear in Guitar TAB, but the above covers all of the essentials you are likely to see.
Fingerstyle playing requires the use of the fingers on your right hand instead of using a pick. Without a pick, you need a way to know which finger on your plucking hand plays which note.
Enter PIMA. Taken from the classical guitar world, the letters in PIMA stand for the Spanish words for your fingers. Play the note on the 6th fret, then quickly release that finger, thus leaving the 4th fret fretted with your other finger.
The numbers represent which fret of that particular string needs to be played. Also, tabs are read from left to right. It gives a nice effect.
