Thanks,
I never played the guitar, so tabs are just gibberish to me.
It turns out the English Wikipedia page is detailed enough to
let me translate this thing to something I understand:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar#Standard

I guess there's not much timing information in there. The distance
(or number of dashes) may mean something, but hard to say what exactly.

Regards,
Philipp
