Hi ianbarny,
Thank you for an interesting question.
Read & Write Guitar Tabs
http://www.tabcrawler.com/articles.php?action=readarticle&articleid=9
"TAB or tablature is a method of writing down music played on guitar
or bass. Instead of using symbols like in standard musical notation,
it uses ordinary ASCII characters and numbers, making it ideal for
places like the internet where anybody with any computer can link up,
copy a TAB file, and read it."

Tablature Explained - An introduction to Guitar Tablature
http://www.endprod.com/tab/
"TABLATURE: A six-line staff that graphically represents the guitar
fingerboard, with the top line indicating the highest sounding string
(high E). By placing a number on the appropriate line, the string and
fret of any note can be indicated. The number 0 represents an open
string. The 0's mean that string is played "open" (no finger) and the
other numbers indicate which fret you place your finger on. An 'X'
means to muffle, not let it ring."
