Reading The Guitar Tabulatute (Tabs) : Vibrato and String Muting

Vibrato in Tabs:

E|---------------------
B|---------------------
G|---------------------
D|-6~~~ --------------
A|---------------------
E|----------------1v---

Here, the string is rapidly bent up and down several times to a very short extent producing an oscillating sound. It can be noted with one or a few "~" - tilde symbol (found just below the "Esc" key) placed side by side or by placing a "v" beside the number. It means, do a vibrato on that note - here, 4(6) and 6(1).

String Muting in Tabs:

E|-------------
B|------5x-----
G|--------------
D|--------------
A|--------------
E|--------------

Means, play that note and stop it instantaneously. Here, it means, play and mute the 5th fret of the B string.
