guys Im just getting into the non pedal stuff and i have a old 6 string fender but on the fret board the first fred is 0 then 1.
my question is when i read tabs posted here do i follow the number on the fender fret board or just the natural number first fret 1 then 2 and so on. thanks in advance. also im looking for some tab for c6 material any links would be helpful. Joe from west virgina

Joe, don't know 'bout that Texanese numbering system,(no guff, now -- I was born & reared there)-- but tab is written with 0 (zero) being an open string. Try the Forum links & go to "Scotty's Music" for a good starting source for C6th lap & whatever. Also, try Ricky Davis' Tab site. There's others that someone else will come up with, I'm sure. BTW, what model Fender you got there??

Joseph, the nut is always fret 0, the first real fret is fret 1, etc.
