I've been playing trombone now for 11 years. I never even bothered to see if there were tabs. And well, today I did. And I have no clue how to read them. Like:

C2
C2 C#2 Eb3
Eb3~E3~Eb3~E3~Eb3 Ab2
A2 Ab2 C2 C#2 Eb3 Eb3 Eb3 E3~Eb3
A2 Ab2 C2 C#2 Eb3 Eb3 Eb3 E3~Eb3
Eb3 E3~Eb3 Eb3Eb3 Eb3 E3~Eb3 Eb3Eb3 Eb3 E3~Eb3

Can anyone help explain this to me? Or is there a tutorial on the web somewhere that I'm not finding?

Lol, watch it be obvious...then I'll feel pretty dumb. XD

Thanks for the help.

Don't play the tab if you've never heard the song... Download or buy it first and listen carefully...

The letters represent the note you play "+" (or "#" ) are sharps, "-" (sometimes "b" ) are flats 1 2 and 3 represent octives Notes in Parentheses followed by * and a number represents how many times to play that phrase


<Added>

here is a horn tab viewer http://altrobe.net/stuff/tabview/
and to find horn tabs you can go to this web site http://horntabs.net/
